I use a shared computer. I generally use Bitlord to download torrents but I have just downloaded Azureus after reading that you can restrict access to it with a password (lets just say I want to keep what I'm downloading to myself!).
After installing and configuring Azureus, I can find no way of creating a password that will stop people from opening and looking through the program.
Do I have to download a plug-in for an Azureus password? If so, which one? Is it all a lie and I can't keep my BitClient programs from prying eyes at all? Or is there another BitClient out there that I can create a password for? If so, I'd be really grateful if you told me which one!

Cheers guys, much obliged.

well it doewsnt invovle using the inbuilt locking mechanism in Azureus (if there is one) what i mean is that you will have a program that will lock YOUR selected exe file with a password and only people that know the password can unlock it and use it

I actually figured out a way! I'm on XP so I just created my own password-protected user account and hey presto, my downloads are MY downloads!
Cheers man, you gave me the idea!
