Setting up a uTorrent desktop client to interact with SickGear

7 Mar 2018 : Due to a serious security flaw in uTorrent, every version 3.x.x release is being banned from use by sites due to the Google security research findings that demonstrate these builds can be used to remotely download and run an executable without user knowledge, report here.
It's probably wise to switch to another client, recommended is qBittorrent.
In any case, uT v3 has troubles handling sending multipart downloads to scripts that v2 doesn't.

Part 2 of 2 (You must also complete Part 1 - To set up SickGear)

To recap...

• Completed downloads are copied from a seeding location to an isolated location
• SickGear will 'Move' processed content from isolation to the final show location

All four parameters are used to configure and run the script.

Use the cmd below replacing "[script dir]" with the path to the script

1. Set Preferences/Advanced/Run program/Run this program when a torrent finishes to
   Windows:

   • cmd /c start "" /B [script dir]\onTxComplete.bat "F:\sg_pp" "SG" "%L" "%D\%F"

   param1 i.e. F:\sg_pp can be any folder you chose, so long as it not used with anything else.

   Linux:

   • [script dir]/onTxComplete.sh "$HOME/sg_pp" "SG" "%L" "%D/%F"

It is strongly advised to not use the uTorrent "Move completed downloads" feature because it runs scripts before the move action completes, very bad. Read here. Consider switching clients.
