Resetting uTorrent settings [Based on XP]

If you want to delete all the uTorrent settings and torrents, you can use this method. I've tested this in Windows XP and it should be similar in other OSes except that the utorrent folder might be placed in different folders.


* Note: This will delete all the torrents and settings of utorrent.

Go to your

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data

folder in the file explorer.

Note that Application Data is the hidden folder so you might need to turn on visibility of the hidden files and folders from the folder options

There, you will see a folder utorrent. Delete this folder and all your utorrent settings will be reset.
Have fun. :)

Bypassing torrent connection blocking

In most of the companies, colleges and universities, it is most likely that the system administrators try to employ the torrent traffic blocking in one or another way. This post will discuss about the few ways of bypassing such connection blocking to the torrent sites.



Update: I have also coded a little tool for bypassing the blocking of .torrent files. You can access this service from HERE which allows you to download .torrent file as .txt and later you can rename it as .torrent or just directly open with torrent clients. :)

1) Online torrent services: There exists different online services of different kinds that allow you to bypass the use of the bittorrent client and download the torrent easily using your web browser.

Bitlet.Org:

This service allows you to use the java based bittorrent applet to download the torrent. All you need is to provide the torrent metafile and then you will be able to start the torrent download. But this implements the bittorrent protocol and is a bittorrent client, it might be blocked but still its worth trying so that you can bypass some dumb admins.

Torrent Relay:

TorrentRelay is a website that offers a unique Bittorrent client, one that is entirely web based. You can load torrents from a variety of methods, Local Files, Online URL's or even short MiniNova ID's. TorrentRelay is a powerful and extremely fast client that works though any restrictions, complex routing or firewalls by offering your downloads as an HTTP 'Save As'. It can be used to download torrents in any kind of devices that support viewing webpages.

Furk.net:

This service is similar to the TorrentRelay service and works similar to the TorrentRelay service. This service costs €10/month.

2) Torrent to Text:

txtor is a service that offers the possibility of downloading a torrent file that's available publicly on the internet as if it were a text file. Nothing more, nothing less. We don't host or offer any torrents itself. Sometimes, admins disallow the .torrent file from being downloaded and in such case, we can use this service to download the torrent as text file and we can rename it to .torrent for our use.

3) Torrent 2 Exe: Torrent2Exe is another online service that allows you to bind the torrent file in a downloader and this downloaded can be downloaded by the user and then run to download the file. Read more on it HERE in my previous post.

I will be updating with other ways to bypass connection blocking to the torrent site. Stay tuned.

Torrent2Exe - Download torrent without torrent client

Torrent2exe is a small BitTorrent client. Its basic idea is to let users download a custom-built EXE program with the torrent file integrated into it. It is a free online service that allows you to convert a torrent into a stand-alone exe and download the torrent by running that executable file.

This online service can be useful to all the regular users as well for special uses such as bypassing torrent block in some cases. I came across this service when I was searching for the online torrent download services to use in my company where I am not allowed to use/install any other torrent clients.

This service can be used to publish our torrents in the blogs and sites as well as to add extra functionality in the torrent-related sites.

In order to use this tool, we need to enter the torrent metafile URL or upload the torrent file from our PC and we will be able to download a small executable which we can run to download the file. The executable downloads the file and we need to run the program for few hours for the seeding purposes in order to prevent ban from the service.

Currently, torrent2exe.com offers two versions, the first stable version and 2nd beta version of the service.
