I wrote this program as a quick way to delete all .torrent files from the default directory of utorrent as well as a download directory of your choosing.
Version 1.1 update:
Fixed bug where too many .torrent files would freeze program.
Added temp folder log file so users can see a list of torrents that were deleted the last time the program was ran. This file can be accessed and deleted through the GUI.
Version 1.2 update:
Added the ability to parse the utorrent resume.dat file and compare the text strings with the torrent file names so that only inactive torrents are deleted.
Reprogrammed the way the log file is written to show files deleted and active files not deleted.
Version 1.3 update:
Fixed situation where filenames with a "%" in the name would fail to delete by switching to SYSTEM.IO.FILE
method for deletion. Added ability to save the log file to a directory of your choosing. Moved the mousedown drag window to a the green cross in lower left corner.
Version 1.4 update:
Added Ad removal function so users who install a fresh copy of utorrent can remove ads quickly. The program will kill the utorrent process if it is running, backup your existing settings, replace the settings with an ad free settings file, and restart utorrent. The Remove Ads button and the restore button will never be enabled at the same, this prevents the program from writing over your saved settings. I achieved this by writing a file called IsRemoved to the utorrent directory. At the time of execution the program will look for data wwritten in the the file to determine if Ads have been removed or not.
