This helps me cope with not having cable television.  I also torrent needed applications.  I am trying to become a member of the better private trackers out there.  I am not having the best of luck.

Some applications I am using to run this server:

My favorite things about uTorrent:

Its probably the best torrent application there is.  It is so full of features, but doesn’t slow this virtual server down.  My favorite features are the scheduler and the web interface.

The only think I am missing is a program that will watch my completed folder and sort my files based on file name.

For example:  I want E:/Completed/The.Simpsons.S20E03.HDTV.vxid.avi to automatically move to M:/Television/The Simpsons/Season 20/

I have tried a program called MoveOut.  I have not had much luck.  I can’t really get it to work.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Last thing, I have an iPhone web access page that I really like… seems to work great too!
