Thread: Torrent questions

I have an ASUS Eee PC with an Intel 1.6 GHz Atom processor and 2 GB of RAM. I have a 128 kbps broadband internet connection.
I have three questions

1. Every time a torrent finishes downloading, a message pops up saying that a download has been completed. Is there any way to disable this message?

2. I want to pause torrent downloads at 50%, I don't want to do this manually. Is there any way I can enter this value into uTorrent so that all torrents are paused at 50 per cent.

3. Is there any way to hide the uTorrent icon without uninstalling it? I use uTorrent 1.80. I don't mind using other bit torrent downloading application if necessary.

The download completion pop-up is just an alert that Torrent gives. It can be turned off by clicking on Options > Preferences. Under the UI settings tab, uncheck Show balloon notifications in tray. This will stop the popups from showing up.

Torrent has no way to stop downloads when they reach a certain point. You can set schedules for the time slots you want it to download or to limit download speeds. Click on the Scheduler tab to do this.

The boss key lets you quickly hide all signs of uTorrent.

The boss key is one way to hide the Torrent window. Click on Options > Preferences. Click on the General tab and set a boss key. Preferably, use a combination of keys. Setting up uTorrent to run on another account using the Windows Task Scheduler is also possible.
