Preview of µTorrent's web-based interface (with screens)
Here's a preview of µTorrent's web-based interface (WebUI), currently undergoing alpha testing. It allows you to manage your µT downloads - you can start them, stop them, add new torrents, search and more using a web browser, from anywhere in the world. Then again, you could just go and use VNC or the Swing Web Interface for Azureus.
The WebUI runs through your web browser, and is accessible via HTTP through the port you use for BitTorrent. Of course, I'm running on port 31337. Basically what this means is that you can access the WebUI, once installed, by going to http://localhost:port/gui/index.html in your web browser. localhost basically is a shortcut to "this computer" - so obviously, this will only work if you're accessing the WebUI from the same computer as µTorrent is running on.
It's probably more useful to access the WebUI via your IP address (perhaps using dynamic DNS ). So, if your IP address is 64.233.167.99, and you run µTorrent on port 666, you could access the WebUI at http://64.233.167.99:666/gui/index.html from any PC, assuming you've done all the necessary port-forwarding to allow µT to serve the UI.
