  1. Integrate utorrent with a file renamer

    Oftentimes, when I download files, I rename them. I think it was around v1.5 when uTorrent allowed users to relocate files so users could rename their files and still seed them. Even still, when I have a torrent with over a 100 files and I have to rename all of them to seed them, this can be very time consuming. Even if I use a file renamer after the fact, I still have to individually relocate each file in uTorrent to seed. If there was a file renaming feature integrated with uTorrent, it would save me a whole lot of…

    • Change uTorrent status bar icon when uTorrent is paused

      I often "pause all torrents" if I need to do some bandwidth-intensive activity, for example uploading a large file. The problem is that sometimes I forget to resume all torrents, and I realise 24 hours later that utorrent has not been seeding for this entire time.

      My suggestion is that the utorrent status bar icon change when all torrents are paused. This could be in the form of a small overlay on the icon, with the pause II symbol. BOINC has a similar feature where it shows a pause symbol when the user puts it in snooze mode. Alternatively, the…

      • Torrent List Filter

        With over 1000 torrents in a list, it can be cumbersome to sort by name in order to find a torrent with a given title in the main window (or if the keyword in question is not at the beginning, often impossible).

        The main window should include an explorer- or finder- style list keyword filter, or a firefox- style find bar, or at the very least a find dialog box.

        • Add option to adjust standard seeding goal based on tracker and/or label.

          Some trackers are always well seeded and require (and allow for) less upload. I usually lower the ratio goal for these manually while I raise it for other trackers that are less healthy. Having µTorrent automate this would be useful.
          µTorrent could/should allow to this effect rule-adjustment by tracker url, label or possibly torrent health (seeder/leecher ratio).

          • Add ability to define IP ranges treated as local

            In uTorrent in addition to speed limiter there's a great feature not to limit speed for local peers - such as peers from 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 etc ranges. But many ISPs give their subscribers IP addresses from non-local IP ranges, while still maintaining really fast bandwidth with LAN speed (about 100MBit/s) between them.
            So it would be nice to be able to select your own IP ranges, that will be treaten as local ranges, thus not being affected with speed limiter.
            Currently where's no such option: we can limit EVERYTHING (actual external peers which should be limited + local peers from…

            • Allow multiple watch folders, and assign a different label to each one

              Add support for multiple watch folders, with the ability to assign a label automatically to all torrents imported from that folder.
              This feature would be particularly useful when the user chooses to use their own automated download systems in lieu of uTorrent's RSS feeds

                • Search in your files list

                  I suggest you to make search in downloadable "Files" screen. If i download torrent with 6000 books it's hard to find the one i need, if i don't download all 6000 books.

                      Vote down ideas in the idea bank. Stupid/unreasonable ideas need to be retracted, and voting down would allow this. If admins thinks this would be abused, voters should specify a reason why is should be voted down.

                            • Auto Shutdown option in Scheduler

                              Can you make the auto shutdown options part of the scheduler. Currently if I want to use the scheduler and shutdown afterwards I have to wait for the downloads to start before choosing the shutdown option. If I want to use off peak time that means I gotta stay up fairly late.

                              I would like to be able to enable the scheduler at 9pm to start downloads at midnight and auto shutdown when downloads are complete.

                                    • Show IP full country names

                                      I love the country flags to see where I'm connected to. But I would love to see the full country names too because I don't yet know all the flags or TLDs. Please show the full country name when I mouse over the flag. A separate column for the IP country name would be great too.

                                        • Columns retain sorting preference

                                          Columns should retain sorting preference across window/tab. For example, uT should remember that I prefer my "Completed" tab to be sorted by the "Completed On" column and that I prefer my "Downloading" column to be sorted by "ETA."
