Thread: How to control your computer's µTorrent from your iPhone or iTouch

Source
uMonitor is a µTorrent client app for the iPhone and iPod touch which lets you monitor your torrent files being downloaded through uTorrent on a Windows PC or a Mac.

uMonitor makes use of µTorrent’s Web UI to show the live progress of your current torrent downloads. µMonitor is not available on the App Store because Apple rejected it as they do not want any ‘torrent’ application on the iPhone, therefore you will need a jailbroken iPhone to install uMonitor from Cydia. Once you have jailbroken your iPhone, goto Cydia and add “http://repo.theiphonebay.org” as shown in the screenshots below:

Add “http://repo.theiphonebay.org” to your Cydia repository.



Search for “uMonitor” and install it.




Now enable Web UI on the uTorrent client app installed on your computer (The picture above has been taken from uTorrent on Windows Home Server). Goto Preferences -> Advanced –> WebUI and enable the check for “Enable Web UI” option. Enter username and password of your choice and check the port for uTorrent.



Now start the uMonitor app on iPhone. Goto Settings tab and enter the details that you set earlier in uTorrent’s Web UI option. IP address is the address of the computer where uTorrent is installed. You can set this to your local network IP to access uTorrent locally, or the public private IP to access it from anywhere in the world.

Thats it! you can now control all the files your computer is downloading right from your iPhone from anywhere in the world!

For all non jailbroken iphones check out iPhone Web Interface for µTorrent .I only had it work the 1st time I tried it and the page wouldn't load the rest of the times.

Wow!! Great!! That's certainly progress. But god damn iphone, when will it get flash support?!?! Its driving me nuts!

Thats one of the best apps out. Ive been using JaaduVNC to log into my computer (bit of a bitch when you have a dynamic IP), this makes things a whole lot easier (and quicker)

how about just using webui?

Great tutorial and great app, I've used VNC but it's not the same think.
Apple guys have strange politics about approving apps :S

Slightly off topic, but supposedly there's actually a full blown torrent client you can run off of your iphone? I don't know the practicality of doing such a thing, but it's definitely taking the controlling your torrenting to your phone to a new level.

You don't need to enter in the repo(Because it is down).
You can just search uMonitor, and it will pop up!
