µTorrent's WebUI has been providing browser-based management of your torrent transfers for quite some time, but setting it up can be a bit complicated for casual users. Port forwarding, dynamic DNS... it's a pain to sort out if you're not-so-skilled with routers and remote access. The new µTorrent Web beta changes all that, adding totally hassle-free access to your queue from ...

µTorrent is the most popular bittorrent client by a wide margin. Dubbed Project Griffin, version 2.2 build 19640 has added a web-based framework which developers can use to create apps for µTorrent. The goal of the project is to allow extensibility while keeping µTorrent itself as light as possible. According to the Project Griffin web page, the two don't have to be mutually ...

Vuze might claim to be 'the most powerful BitTorrent client in the world'... but it isn't the fastest; not by a long shot! Take a look at the graph above -- this isn't just some kind of 'anomaly'. You can quite clearly see the graphs mirroring each other -- but uTorrent is simply faster than Vuze. The study carried out by University of California researcher Mario Iliofotou, together with ...

We told you a while ago about uTP, the new self-throttling torrent transfer protocol that first appeared in version 2.0 of the popular uTorrent app. As Sebastian explained in our previous post, uTP prevents network congestion by limiting its own bandwidth so that your Internet service provider doesn't have to. Ideally, this means nobody is subjected to ISP-level torrent throttling, and everybody ...

uTorrent has been the world's most popular BitTorrent app for quite some time, and today its developers announced another big milestone: version 2.0 has dropped the beta tag. While many uTorrent users haven't been shy about updating to beta or RC builds, the general public seems to prefer the reassurance of the RTM stamp. If you count yourself among that group, you'll be glad to know that you ...

The votes are cast! Or, rather, the seeds and peers are cast! After poring through numerous lists of figures, the nautical masters over at TorrentFreak have tallied up the total number of (illegal) video game downloads in 2009. This year's winner: Modern Warfare 2. Big surprise. What might surprise you is the sheer volume of downloads: 4.1 million. In six weeks. Hahahah. Sorry, it's ...

Users of some torrent clients have been able to preview video downloads for quite some time. Millions more are about to get that ability, thanks to the arrival of streaming in the uTorrent 2.1 beta. If you're downloading a video file in the new version (say, an episode of your favorite TV series), the play icon between the status and seeds columns will go from white to green. As you'd expect, ...

You probably all know what BitTorrent is: it's the technology that powers almost every peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing tool currently in existence. Whether for nefarious, dubious downloads, or for grabbing the latest distribution of Ubuntu, BitTorrent comes to our swift rescue on its mighty steed of share-and-share-alike virtuosity. What you probably didn't know is that BitTorrent Inc., the ...

Just yesterday, PortableApps.com made its first foray into the world of freeware. Round one of the new releases included Skype and Google Chrome, two Download Squad favorites. Today, John T. Haller and crew have added another winner to the mix. The world's most popular torrent client, µTorrent, is the most recent addition to the PortableApps freeware family. You've been able to make ...

Sure, you can just use Safari and µTorrent's built-in WebUI to monitor your torrents - and you'll have to if you're not the swashbuckling, jailbreaking type. Those of you who don't mind getting a little colored snow on your iPhone or iPod Touch, however, can use µMonitor. Rejected from the App Store, the developer has decided to do an end run around Apple and release µMonitor ...

The latest stable version of the popular Bittorrent client µTorrent is version 1.83. But the developers decided that the next major release packed in too much to simply call it µTorrent 1.9, so the next version will be called version 2.0. And µTorrent 2.0 beta is already available for download. The update brings: Support for UDP trackers, a new protocol for BitTorrent ...

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Today's cat: starting torrent downloads on your computer from a remote location! The first two options require 1) your home machine's address and 2) a forwarded port on your router. If you're on a dynamic IP connection like me, a DDNS updating service like Dyndns.org makes finding your machine much easier - it gives you an easy-to-remember, permanent ...

Mac users who like Transmission for their bittorrent-ing may have been jealous of uTorrent users for being able to control their transfers via a web browser. However, Clutch offers a web interface for Transmission so you can leave your Mac torrents active and control them from anywhere. Clutch runs in your menubar on whatever port you choose in the settings (this port will need to be opened on ...

BitTorrent 6.0 beta is out, and you're not alone in thinking the new interface looks awfully familiar. Last year, BiTorrent bought the popular BitTorrent client µTorrent . While BitTorrent is an open source application, µTorrent remains closed source. But now that BitTorrent has access to that code, the company was able to redesign its flagship client. That means an easier to use ...

BitLet is a web-based BitTorrent client that will let you download that movie/application/completely legal work in no time. Well, sort of. First you need to know the proper URL of your torrent file.
