Step 1: First you will need to download the latest version of uTorrent if you do not already have it installed on your computer system. This can be found here.
Step 2: once your uTorrent client is installed, download the Web Interface package. This can be found here or here. Also you can simply visit the WebUI URL in your browser (http://yourip:yourport/gui/ ) and uTorrent will download it automatically.
For manuwal installation within the zipped .rar file locate webui.zip. The WebUI.zip needs to placed in the same folder as µTorrent’s SETTINGS.DAT file and DO NOT unzip it. Your settings.dat file can be found here C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\uTorrent , in order to navigate to this location click start run within the run dialog text box type %AppData%\uTorrent.
Step 3: fire up uTorrent and enable the Web interface by clicking on options->Preferences->WebUI.
Step 4: Enter your Authentication details this will enable you to login to your uTorrent client via your web browser. Under connectivity check alternative port and finally click ok to save settings.
Step 5: To test uTorrent Web interface fire up your internet browser, type the following URL http://localhost:8080/gui/ or http://x.x.x.x:8080/gui/ when x.x.x.x is your local ip address.
Enter username and password you specified in step 4.
If your using firefox you can use the following url format this allows you to insert your password and username directly into the URL address text box
http://theUsername:thePassword@localhost:8080/gui/
Be attention localhost as mentioned above refers to your local IP address of your computer, in order to use it remotely you will need to acquire the IP address your ISP assigns to you. you can find out about your IP address by navigating to the following url www.myipaddress.com. once you have this you can replace localhost with your ISP assigned IP address.
