Back to List of Preliminary Installation Guides
***** Disclaimer -- read this before using Torrent Downloader *****
uTorrent v1.8 through v3.0.0 have been tested and working correctly with this guide. Downloads for these versions may be found at the following links:
Please Note
For users who have a current instance of uTorrent installed with custom user settings for manual downloads and intends to use the Preliminary Installation Guides with the existing uTorrent Program, they will not find any trouble shooting information for problems in these guides, should they occur. The instance of uTorrent for Media Center Master is for automation, it is therefore suggested that the user uninstall uTorrent, through the Control Panel, remembering to tick the check box to also remove the user settings during the uninstall process (screen shot below), and then reinstall uTorrent using the Preliminary Installation Guides.
This is not to say uTorrent can not also be used for manual downloads of TV Series/Movies and other items. It is a suggestion that the automation process should come as a priority over manual downloading. If a user intends to use this instance of uTorrent for Media Center Master along with manual downloads of TV Series/Movies, other items, and wishes to make changes to the settings of uTorrent, that is not listed in the Preliminary Installation Guides, the user should make the changes after Media Center Master is installed, set-up, configured, and has completed a First Run of Media Center Master with satisfactory results.
uTorrent v2.2.1 was used in this guide.
The set-ups and installations of the different versions of uTorrent, as a whole, are much the same in each version. All of the default ticks, options, can be used with Media Center Master. There are however two possible exceptions, depending on which version is chosen for installation. The user should make an informed choice regarding extra downloads of files/software to the system by accidentally missing the options (shown below), by systematically clicking on "Next."
1st Option - uTorrent’s Featured Spotlight Release Download, shown below. After choosing, click next.
2nd Option - uTorrent’s Browser Bar Optional Installations, shown below. Make appropriate choices, then click Install.
Leave the Program open and continue on to the next guide.
