This is getting stranger, it's picking up the changes I make in utserver.conf to the dir_completed folder.

The other changes I make don't register at all in the utorrent settings,

dir_active: volume1/USB1/utorrent/incomplete

according to df my USB drive is mounted @ /volume1/usb1

yeah, it isn't particularly easy... but it isn't easy to make an introductory guide when I haven't done it myself, and some of the steps are ones that I would not (until prompted) even think about :)

glad you have it working...
