Control uTorrent remotely via mobile phone

TipsMake.com - The use and control of uTorrent applications on computers has become familiar and simple for most of us users. But if in any case, we can't be at the computer and do those things, how to do it? In the following article, we will show you some simple steps to set up uTorrent remote monitoring via mobile phone.

Before proceeding, we need to prepare some components to meet the requirements:
The latest version of uTorrent, Transmission application is also available but some setup steps will be different from uTorrent .

- At least 1 port - Port on the firewall in Open mode.

- 1 smartphone device ( iPhone or Android ).

Set up uTorrent for remote access to uTorrent Remote:

In fact, there are 2 ways for us to do this, using uTorrent Remote and uTorrent Web GUI . Different people's choices depend largely on which device they use to access the main control interface and functions. To perform this process, please refer to the article about coding instructions and 'hide' BitTorrent traffic data. We can easily see that the easiest way to enable uTorrent 's remote control feature is to take advantage of the uTorrent Remote mode. Announced last year, uTorrent Remote service, with its main function, is to connect uTorrent 's client application system to uTorrent.com , whereby users can log in directly via the uTorrent website.

The advantage of this update process is quite easy to configure, can work well on many smartphone devices with the latest browser version, simple interface, easy to use. Since Apple 'prohibits' the presence of BitTorrent applications in the App Store , this will be the only way for iPhone users to access the mobile client application on the non-jailbroken device. The downside of this process is to use a proxy to navigate information, encrypt and hide BitTorrent traffic, which can directly affect the uTorrent Remote system and users will receive a ' Not Accessible ' error.

First, open uTorrent , select Preferences (or press CTRL + P ), then select Remote as shown below:

Here, we will see the checkbox of the option: Enable uTorrent Remote Access . Then, create the computer name and password in the Computer - Password :

Click the Apply button at the bottom right corner and wait until the Status section changes from Not accessible to Accessible . At this point, we have successfully connected to the uTorrent Remote system and ready for browser access on Desktop or Mobile .

This approach is quite simple, no need to change any parameters in the Firewall system

And to connect to the remote uTorrent client via the uTorrent Remote system, simply open the browser and type https://remote.utorrent.com . During this first login, the system will ask the user to create a new account, then the process of logging in with the computer name and password (initialized above). If you are using a mobile browser, you will see the interface as the rightmost image of the image above.

Set uTorrent with Remote Access via uTorrent WebUI:

Previously, it was the use of uTorrent Remote - suitable for those who are not interested in BitTorrent data security process with proxies and iPhone users who cannot access the App Store to use uTorrent, missing in Proxy support is the minimum feature set for advanced users. And this is also the time when the Web UI feature is available. By activating the mechanism through the old interface, users can use their respective phones and services on that system.

First, open Web UI in uTorrent . Go to the main control panel - Preferences (or press CTRL + P ), open the Advanced menu, here we will see Web UI (screenshot above). Check the Enable Web UI box , initialize Username and Password , leave the option Enable Guest account with username . Save changes and return to uTorrent's main monitor screen. However, if you have problems with the system's Firewall or security software, go to the new Rule to switch Port with Web UI.

After performing the above process, we were able to point any web browser through the public IP address and log in to the uTorrent client. For example, if your IP address is 123.456.789.123 , Port is 9292 then type the following address in the browser: http://123.456.789.123:9292/gui/ . This console is quite suitable for desktop or tablet computers but is a bit 'oversized' compared to smartphones .

However, iOS users will encounter a lot of difficulties in the process of using if not performing 1 of the following 2 things. If there is a jailbroken iPhone , uTorrent can be used from the Cydia App Store. Besides jailbreak, Cydia based uTorrent users can use proxy service called Morrent Mobile:

For Android users, they can skip all the above setup steps and directly access the uTorrent client system via Android application. One of the most popular Android Market apps is Torrent-Fu - packed with many support features like search, RSS feed, creating clients for many different torrent clients. After installing the program, in the first operation, click the Go to Profiles button in the Profile Required window. Select Add Add Profile and fill in all the information of the previous setup process (public IP address, Port number, Username and Password ). Save the new Profile and from the main monitor screen, click the Manage menu and select uTorrent client. In Manage, you can see full details about torrent, basic functions like Start, Force Start, Pause, Resume, Remove, and Remove and Delete data . Besides, there are some Filter functions according to specifications like Seeding, Paused, Downloaded, Completed, and Flags . Support for backend features like Torrent-Fu search via ISOHunt, MiniNova, PirateBay, and KickassTorrents . tightly integrated with What.cd.

Good luck!
