ReWired Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 you can use whatever you want ok, you have stable, right?then go to your Appdata/uTorrent and move all files from there to the folder where utorrent.exe is.then make new foder, called for example uTorrent-beta, move there your µTorrent beta exe file.start the beta exe and make the desired changes in settings, or simply quit it.go again to Appdata/uTorrent folder and move all files to your uTorrent-beta folder.just simple as that:)utorrent.exe (or any beta) searches for settings.dat - if it finds this file in the same folder then just starts, if there is no settings.dat - then it looks in appdata/utorrent (if again there is no settings.dat - then utorrent creates it in appdata/utorrent)
DreadWingKnight Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 Betas don't install.The standalone exe is a standalone exe. It runs from wherever it is stored.%appdata%\uTorrent only stores settings.
Ultima Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 @maku8ex: Not sure what you're asking. µTorrent always looks in %appdata%\uTorrent, be it beta or otherwise, unless the appropriate files are placed in the same directory as the executable. As for using stable and beta side-by-side... why would you want to do that? At any rate, I recall there was something having to do with resume.dat being cleared when upgrading to a newer build, but I'm not sure if that was resolved.
