View Full Version : Can't cap upload...

I am using the original Bit Torrent client and i can't seem to cap upload. I don't know if I went about it the right way but made a shortcut then added the argument to the end of that... It seems it would work but I can't open any torrent in it. I click on a torrent and tell it "open with" the shortcut I made and for some reason Win XP doesn't like that... So any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and please don't tell me to get another client, I know other clients can cap upload but they don't seem to mix well with my comp (Everyone I have tried (Burst, BT++, etc) have froze my computer up bad), plus I love the simplicity of the original. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a ton, Levi

rather than a shortcut, create a plain text document with the command that you put in the shortcut and rename it to a batchfile (whateveryouwant.bat). then see if you can open [up a torrent] with the batch file.

Thanks for the suggestion but it still doesn't work. I get an error (with Bit Torrent) that says "error:need responsefile or url". So yea I have no Idea. Anyhelp?
Thanks again.

okay, try this for your batch file: start "C:\Program Files\Bittorrent\btdownloadgui.exe" %1

it should close already...
try adding exit on the next line of the batch file.
