aryx Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 I'm managing 4 classrooms at a computerschool. I'm using utorrent to transfer 2-10 GB of data every week.What I'm looking for is a way to close utorrent automaticly after the torrent is completed.I'm using the "C:\Program Files\utorrent\utorrent.exe" /directory "C:\dl" "data.torrent" command to start the transfer automaticly - so i need a way to close it after it is done too.This is how my setup works:I start the computers and they ghost up an imageThe new installation start (using sysprep (a mini setup for windows installation)) and on the post-installation tasks i'm runnning utorrent and start the transfer.In order to get the installation to countinoue I need to close utorrent, and i'm now doing it manually :-SIs there a feature like this? If not is it possible to get a feature like this?Regardsaryx
aryx Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 maybe i can use a program like auto-it to make it work...
Alpha-Toxic Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 The general idea of the BT protocol is that people have to seed as long as possible even after they have downloaded the torernt. So, a feature like that would go against the general idea and would result in many people not seeding after they have downloaded (you'd be surprised to find how many people don't even realise that they have to upload or that someone has to upload to them to get this whole thing going). And even though this feature might have "legitimate" uses (like in your case), I don't think it's going to be implemented, at least not in near future.
aryx Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 Yup, I'll look into another way to solve this problem...
Pwnage Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Make a batch file that closed the process utorrent.exe, and then right click on the torrent that you want to have shut down utorrent when its done, and go to properties then advanced and type in the location of the batch file and thats it.
Firon Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 You can't use taskkill to send WM_CLOSE to it? Just have to have "Show confirmation dialog on exit" turned off. Granted, you would need a way to know if it was finished before doing that...
