Control uTorrent From Your iPhone

How to control uTorrent straight from your iPhone or iPod Touch


Everybody knows that Apple banned the BitTorrent software for the iPhone because… well it’s Apple, and they are drunk with power: the power to censor.But, what would you say if i tell you that, you can controll basic functions of uTorrent directly from your device? Functions like: see the status of active torrents, pause/resume a torrent or add a new torrent by entering a url to torrent (or mininova id). That would be sweet huh?

First you will need to install the uTorrent WebUI.You can download it from here.The rar file contains a new µTorrent beta, a readme file, and a zip which contains the html, css, and js files. The uTorrent 1.8 betas should work just fine with this version of the WebUI.

A good start might be to read through the readme file to help you set things up. If you have any questions you can join our official irc channel or make a post here in the WebUI forum.For more info about the WebUI , you can check out this page.

Now download this zip, extract it, inside there is a folder called ‘iphone’ take that folder and place it inside the webui.zip that you installed in at ‘%AppData%\uTorrent’ on your PC. Don’t extract the WebUI zip just add the iPhone folder to it.

Next on your iphone go to the url of your uTorrent webui adding /iphone/i.html (ie http://192.168.0.3:25673/gui/iphone/i.html), enter your username / password you should now see all your torrents.
