µTorrent auto remove completed download

Instead of just stopping at the point of completing a download, here are a few options (which I think uTorrent will also support) -- they are torrent friendly.

  1. Limit upload rate
  2. Stop seeding after a specific seeding ratio
    (like say 100%? or, 10% if you are not friendly).
  3. Setup alternate upload rate when not downloading
    (meaning when you have probably completed all your downloads)

You can change the default behavior for the delete function:

Go to Options -> Preferences -> Advanced. Find the listing gui.default_del_action: change the value from 0 to 1.

In fact, you can change the value from 0 all the way to 3 with the corresponding results:

0 means "Remove" (remove the torrent job from the list, but all related files are left intact on the disk)

1 means "Remove and delete .torrent" (remove the selected torrent job(s) from the list and the corresponding torrent file(s) from where the storage location on disk)

2 means "Remove and delete Data" (remove the torrent selected job(s) from the list and all content downloaded from the torrent job(s))

3 means "Remove and delete .torrent + Data" (remove the selected torrent job(s) from the list, the corresponding torrent file(s) from the storage location on disk, and all content downloaded from the torrent job(s))


Yes, there is. I've written a script that accesses uTorrent's Web UI to remove completed torrents automatically. You can find instructions on how to use it on my blog at:
