how to perform: Run an external program on torrent completion

[DHarrouch]

Someone could give me an example of how to perform the option "Run an external program on torrent completion"
Best regards

I'm looking for the same.  I just came from uTorrent 2 where this was an essential piece of my workflow.  Since I've seen bug reports that it has been flaky recently I have tried 4.0.4, 4.1.0, and 4.1.4 and it appears that none of them are working.  I'm not even sure how to debug what is happening.  The "Execution Log" in the interface shows when a torrent completes what appears to be a valid message, but nothing happens.

I have a Batch file that I execute which moves and extracts the files into specific locations as well as adding to a local log file so even if the file were running in an non-interactive shell I would still have proof of execution, but the cmd window doesn't appear and the log is not modified.

I've tried the following settings into the available text box:

cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\App\extract.bat" "%R" "%N"
cmd.exe /c "C:/Program Files/App/extract.bat" "%R" "%N"
"C:\Program Files\App\extract.bat" "%R" "%N"
"C:/Program Files/App/extract.bat" "%R" "%N"

Any help or examples would be great.  I've verified that the extract.bat file does exist in that folder and works when called directly.  Perhaps there is an example someone could provide of how to get it to execute a program that would just echo a parameter such as %R that can be viewed on the screen as proof the feature works.

Hey I have the same problem. But I found out that v4.1.4 runs only *.exe files as external program on torrent completion
