Installation

If you're using µTorrent 1.8 or later you can skip the installation step.

  • The WebUI.zip needs to placed in the same folder as µTorrent's SETTINGS.DAT file and DO NOT unzip it.
  • If you have not moved the settings files then they will be found at %AppData%\uTorrent (type this in Start -> Run, or the address bar)

N.B: Please make sure you are using the latest build of µTorrent.

How to use the WebUI

The Port is either µTorrent's listening port (Preferences -> Connection) or the port you entered in the alternative listening port field.

  • Enable and configure the WebUI in µTorrent (Preferences [-> Advanced] -> WebUI)
  • Open up a supported browser and use the following URL format http://YourIP:Port/gui/
  • If the browser supports Username:Password (and you have got the WebUI working with the first URL) then use the following URL format http://Username:Password@YourIP:Port/gui/

If you installed the files yourself and receive a blank screen when accessing the WebUI through your browser, you've most likely misplaced the webui.zip file.
N.B: When using the WebUI locally use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as using your external (WAN) IP may cause problems.

Known Issues

  • Not all information is known in the general tab yet.
  • Choosing save location for torrents is currently not possible.

Freeze on loading?

  • There are two things to try if your browser freezes on loading before asking for help.
  • First try pressing CTRL+F5 in your browser. This will either revive the WebUI, or you will see a blank (white) screen. If you only see a blank (white) screen then close and reopen the browser then load WebUI again.
  • If that doesn't work then use the following URL http://YourIP:Port/gui/?action=setsetting&s=webui.cookie&v={} and then reload the WebUI using the normal URL.
  • If that doesn't work then please come to  http://forum.utorrent.com/ or  irc://irc.utorrent.com/utorrent-webui to ask for help.

Notes

  • Some browsers will have reduced functionality, for best results use the latest version of  FireFox,  Opera,  Safari, or (if you must)  IE 7.
  • [Opera] Some keyboard shortcuts will have conflicts
