Is there any setting for notifications in uTorrent?

Is there a solution to bring uTorrent back to Growl?

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of
its users. When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across
platforms and devices. However, many devices are excluded access to Web
content.

Not that I can see, I checked all the preferences tabs.

I still have no solution to getting growl notifications from utorrent on Mac OSX 10.8.3

Any help would be appreciated.

From looking at utorrent's own support forum and release notes, it
appears they hardcoded it to use Notification Center on Mountain Lion
rather than update to our newer framework that would give them the
best of both (NC for those without growl, growl for those who prefer
it). Do you know if it supports some form of script execution? I see
mentions of being able to run a program/script on completion of
download, but can only find references to doing this in the windows
version so far. Would be happy to help you write such a script if you
aren't a programmer, but I don't have utorrent installed to check if
that option is available.

Hi Daniel,
uTorrent does send notifications to Mac's notification centre.
Problem is that Growl works with Prowl so I get notification from growl forwarded to my iPhone, but Mac's notification centre doesn't work with Prowl.

I don't seem to be able to see anywhere where there are pre/post scripts, see all the preferences tabs in the attached ZIP file
.
Many thanks for your help.

Ok, so, that setting is in the windows version but not OSX, not
terribly surprising.  However, in looking at those options, I found a
way you can workaround this as an option.  Its not terribly pretty,
but it should work.  It has the option to move a completed torrent or
its .torrents file to a specific directory.  You can use that to your
advantage.  OSX has a feature called folder actions, which can be
attached just about anywhere.  I realize this might not jive with your
torrent workflow, but it is an option.

If you decide to go this route, here is some instructions,
Open applescript editor, paste the code from
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5463460
into it, and save it as add - GrowlAddedFiles.scpt in the following
directory: ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
(that folder will likely need to be created)

right click the directory you are going to send your torrents
or .torrents files to upon completion.
Select either enable folder actions, or folder actions setup (and if
enable, do it again and click folder actions setup).
Find add - GrowlAddedFiles.scpt, and select it to attach to the chosen
directory.
To test, simply add any file to the watched directory.

Finally, disable uTorrent in Notification Center, and enjoy being able
to have Prowl send you notifications that your torrents are complete

Thank you so much for your assistance.
I'll give this a shot and will report back if this works.

[Guy Fisher]

Hi,
Works !
At long last I'm able to know when the torrents have finished downloading when I'm away from my laptop!

Thanks so much for your assistance.
It's a pity that uTorrent have hard coded notifications to Notification Centre rather than letting this be configured to either Notification Centre or Growl.




Cheers,
