Ok, I have been surfing the forums and generally trying to learn more about p2p. I have used BTjunkie and Vuze with some success. Looking to probably switch over to uTorrent or run both. I have a much older Dell Optiplex GX400, P4 1.7Ghz, WinXP SP2, with only 512Gb Ram. It has a 40Gb system drive but I am adding a second drive for storage.
My concern – I on occasion download adult content and I absolutely want it to remain private from all eyes. (I do have an XP logon password and the other users do not have admin rights so no real concern about them accessing my data). What I want to be able to do is use one iteration of Vuze or utorrent for adult content only and a second for everything else. This way I can use the second with family and guests (me using) without worrying about what they might see.
Right now I know that when I find a torrent to download, it automatically opens Vuze and begins. Since I have not experimented with two programs yet, I am assuming that as long as I first open Vuze or uTorrent, that it will automatically be the client the torrent downloads to. I really want to be 100% sure. I am also assuming that running two separate iterations is the only way to keep the content separate. Am I right?
Is there anything else I need to be aware of to make this work?
P.S. I am really enjoying reading and learning from the forums and tutorials but it is all still a little overwhelming. So much to learn and so little brain to cram it all into! Appreciate all out there who are smarter than me (everyone?) and willing to share. Thanks!
