How to use two or more different uTorrent versions at the same time

[shoulder]

Hi,

some of you maybe know the problem.
You want to leech/seed on two or more different tracker and you only want to use uTorrent but there's no version which is allowed on all tracker.

So, you want to use two uTorrent versions at the same time, but you don't know how.
It's very easy if you know how to do.

First you should create a own folder for every version.
Then you create a settings.dat file in every folder, so that the settings of each uTorrent version are saved in the folder of the specific version.
The first version you can start normally.
To start the second one you have to add a parameter.

You can do this using the command line or by starting the version with a shortcut, which is more comfortable.
So, just create a shortcut to the second version.
Then right-click and go to properties.
At the "Target" path you add "/recover" without the "...".
It should look like this:

If you now start the second version using the shortcut, the second version will be started although another version is already running and you can use both versions at the same time.

You can do this several times, and so you can multiple versions of uTorrent at the same time.

thanks for this tut, a lot of people will find it useful :wink:


Then you create a settings.dht file in every folder,

isn't it settings.dat? :smile:

You're totally right anon. :top:
I have corrected it.

now backslashes don't appear in the code block in your post :frown: you can use this image to show how the shortcut's command-line should look:

good always wanted to run two different utorrent mod in one computer..gerat info
thanks you

[anon]

of course don't make the different uTs share things like the same download folder ^^

[shoulder]

As long as you don't use the same torrent files and the same ports there's no problem.
But it's better not to use the same download folder, and of course not the same folder to save the torrent files.

[Aurion]

Thanks alot shoulder for bringing up this nice tut !! Its Handy tho in most multi-leeching cases :top:

[anon]

Its Handy tho in most multi-leeching cases :top:

you could also have a "leech" uT (6kb upload limit, 1 global upload slot, BIG amount of max connections, etc.) and then, when that torrent is completed, carry the resume.dat to a "seed" uT, without upload limit, plenty of slots, etc... which can boost your ratio in torrents with a small amount of seeds and lots of peers :wink: it's more or less like seedboxing with your own PC :biggrin:

[slikrapid]

what about peer_id's for announces, would they be the same for both clients, and if not which value would RM (its memory reader) read?

should the previously used number of connections now be divided (by manually setting them) between all running clients?

it would be best if the xtreme mod could perfectly spoof multiple client versions at the same time and the user just picks which version should be spoofed for a specific tracker, with a safety option to prevent from using different spoofs on torrents from the same tracker, and a history log of used spoofs, and...and... :rolling_eyes:

would such a thing be hard to implement?

[anon]

No, they'll be different ones. But I don't really know what would happen if both uTorrents have the same EXE name... :biggrin:

Better use different filenames for each version.

Yes, or else you'll saturate your connection. Same goes for the upload slots and speed limit, port, and download folder.

You can be sure it takes good programming skills to achieve it.

Separate spoofs for individual torrents has already been suggested before... but ghostfucker is busy at the moment.

can i always use the same port?? :confused:

[anonftw]

can i always use the same port?? :confused:

No, use different ports for each version or instance or uTorrent to allow proper communication with the tracker.

[anon]

Note it's not advisable to run torrents from the same tracker among multiple instances. Most people will never do this, but for the tracker it looks suspicious, as if you had forgotten to use the memory reader in the RM because of the different peer_ids.

[MoS]

Great method specially when you specify which version to use which torrent files so if your computer crashes or shutdown suddenly you won't lose anything, I may use one of them in seeding process to get some bonus and seedhours :top:

[anon]

There will always be some data loss if your computer crashes, because of disk caching. That's why uTorrent rechecks your downloads after a crash, to know what pieces has to redownload.

I want to run my regular utorrent for seeding and downloading but i want to use the utorrent "No complete-report seeder mod" for PTPC bonus points...

Is it safe to run both of them simulatenously... The "No complete-report seeder mod" has a seperate settings.dat and no original file from the other utorrent is being shown in the mod ?

And secondly do i need to change any settings or just let the mod run for grabbing bonus points P.S on the other utorrent there is no file of PTPC running

[anon]

So it will be if you put the mods in separate directories.

If torrents are running, it's earning you bonus points. :biggrin: Remember to use different ports and such.

[batista]

1 more thing anon... btw thank you for always being there to help...

do i need to change the port for the mod or let leave the main settings

[anon]

Yes, use different ports for both mods.

[batista]

when i click in utorrent

option > speed guide

there the port listed is automatically differnt from my other utorrent... so can i just go ahead?

[anon]

Yes, you can. :smile:

[ironace]

why cant trackers use a old version of uTorrent that they trust like azeureus most trackers accept 2.5.0.4. It is annoying having 2 different uTorrent open at the same time.

[banneduser]

its not at all annoying
the trackers have not forced anybody to open 2 instances
its the end user whos opening 2 instances for his own usage
like its been brought out in earlier post - to get seed bonus/points
the uT mod can be used to get some points and normal torrenting can continue with your default uT

[anon]

its is not at all annoying

A few trackers don't allow newer versions of uTorrent due to the call-homes on them. So you'd need to run both 1.6.1 for those and 1.8.5 for the rest that allow it, for example.

[banneduser]

yes that correct
but as you yourself have told it would be suspicious if you are on uT 1.6 and others on uT 1.8 on same tracker
there are some trackers which only allow uT 1.6

[Extraterrestrial]

Guys, I'm having a very annoying problem, I use different versions of uTorrent instances : 1.7.7 and 2.0.2, uTorrent 2.0.2 is the main client and whenever i want to load a torrent in RM and simulate the 1.7.7, i simply can't because it will only work for the main 2.0.2 client.

Any solutions?

[anon]

Rename v1.7.7's EXE to something else, and use that as the process name when running the memory reader.

[Extraterrestrial]

Thanks but it didn't work for me, could you please give me a little more detail?

[anon]

You must have each uTorrent version in a separate folder. Rename the .exe file for uTorrent 1.7.7 to something different than its current name, for example utorrent177.exe. Do the same with 2.0.2, utorrent202.exe. Now, when you want to emulate 1.7.7 in the RM, run it, choose the apropriate entry from the emulations list, run the memory reader, type "utorrent177" in the Process Name text field (without the quotes), and run it. It should work now.

[piratemeister]

Can someone explain to me what exactly I need to do for make uTorrent portable ? I don't need to open 2 uTorrent. Thanks.

[anon]

Create an empty file called settings.dat in the same folder as uTorrent and run it (the program).

I hab da mal ne frage
Sorry das ichs nicht in english schreib.. Weil mein Englisch schlecht ist..

Unzwar kann man machen das wenn ich ein utorrent öffne, das es nicht dann die gleiche im seed/leech gibt?
Zb. Utorrent 2.0.1 (18488) mit zb. einen Bitreactor torrent
Und Utorrent 2.0.1 (19284) mit einem BTF torrent
Geht das?
Und falls ja, wie?

das geht. einfach das zweite ut mit option /RECOVER starten und dann kannst du damit machen was du willst. wenn du 'connectable' sein willst sollte die zweite instanz einen eigenen port haben der dann auch entspr. erreichbar ist von aussen

I know this is an old thread, perhaps someone will see this post. Suppose I don't want to run multiple clients at the same time; I just want to be able to run an un-mod versions at times, and mods at others times--not two or more at the same time. Do I have to follow this method? Also if I have a uT mod installed, can I run the "Original.exe" by itself and will it perform as an un-mod version?

[piratemeister]

I think yes...

[anon]

We have a new posts list :unsure:

There's no need for this in that case. Just make sure you put each one in a separate folder with its own config.


Also if I have a uT mod installed, can I run the "Original.exe" by itself and will it perform as an un-mod version?

Original.exe is official uTorrent + everything listed under "Mod Features" in the release post.

To put it a different way, the answer is yes.

[The Shutter]

maybe if portable version is available will be better and easier.

[shoulder]

It's not really that hard. :P

[anon]

Create an empty settings.dat file and it's portable.

Chronic laziness much? :unsure:

[C3PO]

Did someone tried this method with serenity? Didnt work for me...

[olabird]

Did someone tried this method with serenity? Didnt work for me...

yes it does work uSerenity. make sure you copy all three required files (uSerenity.dll, uSerenity.exe, uSerenity Settings.exe) to a different location, create the settings.dat file in that location and apply the "/recover" switch to the shortcut to uSerenity.

[Master Razor]

Say, you only start utorrent when you want to download something. When you double-click the .torrent extension the executable will open as default.
Here's a way to fix that:

If the extension is registered to utorrent type in a command line: assoc .torrent
It will give you the real extension name which is registered under windows.

Then type ftype EXTENSION="PATH TO EXEC IN QUOTES" /recover %1

[clawer]

This is an old thread, but I just have a simple question; can I juse VEM and uTorrent SBI at the same time with the same ID on the same tracker? say I'm using uTorrent Expansion SBI Leecher Pack v21 which is uTorrent 3.5.3 Build 44428, and I'm running VEM with spoofing the client ID to uTorrent 3.5.3 Build 44428 and I'm using the ratio tool on torrent on VEM and I'm faking 100% seeding on another torrent with uTorrent SBI, but they are on the same tracker at the same time (I know that VEM can fake 100% seeding too but I'm using uTorrent SBI for that). In the tracker would they appear as I'm using two clients with the same ID, version and IP, but the port is diffrent which will make things suspicious, or would they appear as one client?

[anon]

The port isn't a problem if you don't mind being unconnectable in one of the clients (the one you run last), just set the same one on both. But there is also the key value which will differ between both and can't be set manually in BiglyBT.

Bottom line: not recommended.

[molosse]

sounds stupid but you could run another utorrent in a virtual machine, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a light weight linux image already configured for torrent.

That's overkill :wgrin: Though there is one good reason to run a torrent client inside a virtual machine: using a VPN service only for filesharing. (It can also be done by setting interface bindings, metrics and stuff, but a VM is just easier.)

[abdullahsiddiquebi]

Hello Sir.

how can i use this method with in qbittorrent? i am trying but not working.. could you please help me.

Thanks

[anon]

I see no information about making qBittorrent portable on their wiki nor have I attempted to do so myself, but there's https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/qbittorrent_portable. Running multiple instances of it from different directories should work.
