Hello,

I think I have it working as per the instructions, thank you very much! However, I am used to having my tv shows downloaded via the RSS downloader in utorrent – and even though I have set the RSS feeds up correctly (they work if I run uTorrent), RSS feeds don’t seem to work when running utorrent as a service. Has anyone else run into this problem or can someone point me into the right direction?

Also, the other problem would be that rss downloads only get put in the standard download folder, from which I can’t access via the clients. Is there a way to have those files moved to the shared folders once they are done, just like with “regular” downloads?

EX495 is not 64bit. WHS is currently 32bit only.

Has anyone run into issues with 64-bit systems (like HP EX495)?

From MSFT website:

“Note: The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools are not supported on 64-bit platforms.”

Any thoughts on what this may do if I follow the Wiki and install uTorrent as a Service using WHS 2003 Resource Kit Tools?

Thanks

For those having issues with it not working I noticed the reg key even though it said it imported the data correctly it did not. So I opened regedit and browsed down to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\uTorrent\Parameters

I then added a string value named: Application

And made its value: c:\program files\utorrent\utorrent.exe

When I rebooted everything worked as it should Hope this helps.

Jigawatts, I have removed the service, and used AnyServiceInstaller to re-create it.
AnyServiceInstaller:

Now the service starts, but I see and empty uTorrent tab.

I’m having the same problem as Jordan. uTorrent won’t startup with the system. I have to manually log onto the server and start it up manually.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please help!!!
I have installed the service + reg , but the service wont start automatically nor manualy(pressing start on the service).

The only way it works, it when i login and start utorrent manually.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks Tim for finding the fix to that, not sure why the quotes here are causing that issue.

“Anonymous” – you need to setup a new user for uTorrent by following the instructions here – http://mswhs.com/2007/06/20/create-a-new-user-account-directly-on-the-whs/. I would not recommend installing it using the Admin account.

For those with problems running the instsrv.exe, it appears that when you copy and paste the command from this site, the quotes are not the correct characters. Delete the existing quotes and replace by typing them with your keyboard.
