- graigchq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24aaah, but Azureaus hoggs your system like a biatch, utorrent is clearly the lowest resource hungry torrent app out there, especially considering all the features that are thrown in.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Awesome indeed, now I know what those chest buttons on Buzz Lightyear are for!
- EGOvoruhk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19I really care. I would rather see something original, than something twice
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Download: http://download.utorrent.com/beta/webui_v0.300_beta_1.zip
- AlphaToxic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13many corporate networks block that kind of traffic. Also it is much more bandwidth hungry.
- MikeDubb, on 10/12/2007, -10/+23Thanks Captain Obvious.
- NJank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11them nuns love their ripped vids
- vibez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why are all the SSH posts getting dugg down? Some sort of remote desktop access gives you much greater control to all your programs rather than just limiting to one specific application.
- ilovenicotine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7No, you can't.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I switched to uTorrent from ABC a year ago and the lack of a web interface has bugged me. My friends at colleges with restrictive networks can't download things so I let them use ABC to get whatever they needed. Now it has been a year in prohibition so they will be greatful to be able to use uTorrent's new feature.
- SlyckTom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The article originally said
"For example, assume µTorrent user "A" is on vacation in the Caribbean, and is suddenly overwhelmed with the inexplicable urge to download the latest Red Hat release"
That had to be changed to read Knoppix after someone at Red Hat complained. Funny how nobody noticed - Jeebugorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@vibez
because downloading Knoppix makes the program sound more legit than saying... Guy on vacation wants to download *insert new movie that was just released on BT* but hotel connection sucks. This way he can download *insert new movie that was just released on BT* and watch it when he gets home. - loof, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11I'm sick of people complaining about stories getting on the front page. If you don't want to read it, don't click the link. It's that simple and why waste time commenting about it being a dupe or useless, just bury it or skip it.
Back on topic, I suppose it's a neat idea but I doubt I'll ever use it. - MikeCerm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Even more impressive than the low resource usage is the fact that uTorrent is contained within a single ~500K .exe file. I can't think of a single program that does more with less code-bloat.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3VNC gives someone complete control of a PC's operating system, this lets them just control the torrent software. Also Vindstille, you can use VNC through a web interface using a little something called java.
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Can't... bury... enough...
- MikeCerm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I can't be sure, but I imagine that Peer Guardian and SafePeer probably use the same publicly-available blacklists, so the "safety" should be roughly the same.
- zouden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does anyone know what the author is talking about here:
"July 22's news regarding µTorrent's new IRC channel"
Is this some new feature of uTorrent that I've missed, or is it just an IRC channel to chat about uTorrent? - dAbReAkA, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6grr, Alpha-Toxic submitted that like 2 days ago..
buried(dupe).. - omatsei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been waiting for something like this for utorrent... Now the only question I have left is how does Peer Guardian compare to the SafePeer plugin for Azureus? My first impression is that PG is safer, but I'm not totally sure. I'm always hesitant to switch torrent clients, since there's always so much ***** to customize.
- rmmcclay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Posting a dupe doesn't make one an *****.
But aside from that off-topic comment, I love utorrent; don't need the webclient though, VNC has got it covered. - bluenova, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Easyer and quicker just to ssh into the machine you need access to. You can do other things at the same time as well.
- Caliente, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this is sweet. being the kind of person who's too lazy to setup a torrent on the main server computer in my house, I can see this being infinitely useful!
- wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The interface looks slick, and when running the WebUI, only uses 1.5mb RAM, very nice. Works for me. Good work guys. Dugg.
- jaxxstorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been doing this with shareza for years. Literally, years!
However, uTorrent is a far better client, so gets the digg because it now means I can switch! - eyko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dude, utorrent is a windows application for the average user.
- ateoto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Nice, that looks great! Thanks for linking.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2I dare say, this is my favourite application ever. µTorrent just keeps getting better and better.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agreed, it *is* the more flexible choice with several advantages. However, this also has its clear uses, only requiring HTTP access. Both methods have their uses, and for that reason I don't really feel any of them should be dugg down.
- JoyrexJ9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is really nice, the GUI is far beyond what I was expecting - it's very slick like a "web-ised" version of the full app GUI.
- anjinash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"But they let you on torrent sites?"
Oddly enough, yes. I mentioned Bit Torrent to one of their IT people (I also work at this college in a different department) in conversation and he had never heard of it, instead singing the praises of Limewire.
If their IT department are all like this guy, they don't even know what a torrent is, never mind blocking torrent sites. - Vindstille, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If you use a computer witch not have VNC installed, its very helpful to have a controllpanel accessible from the web.
- Zach978, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3TorrentFlux rules, I use it on my fileserver at home...all my roomates can have their own accounts on the box, it works great.
http://www.torrentflux.com/ - tinhed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They still kept the download size to a bare minimum. In a world of Bloatware, utorrent comes a whiff of fresh air. the new webUI is grt.
- eryx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You could do this with remote access before µTorrent came up with this. Still I can't wait to try it. I wish they would come up with a feature that would let you pause all your pieces except the one file that has one piece left. So many times I just want that one piece so I pause each file of the torrent individually until it come in then I resume everything again.
- eryx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you have an extra bracket on your URL, digix
- wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Cant you already easily do this with remote desktop or VNC? I would think a vnc setup through an ssh tunnel would be a bit more convent.
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't know about sending unencrypted traffic from a bittorrent client, though a pretty open network.. Although tunneling it though SSH is far far faster than shoving VNC though it (Since VNC is slow, espically when downloading stuff, which is kind obvious if your trying to monitor your downloads remotely..)
- Ben - mrkmrk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's a channel that the dev of uTorrent runs. If you ever need anything, hop in there and he can provide help. There are a bucnh of other people who know their way around uTorrent too, if he's not available.
- ksponge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Agreed, that's how I've always done it from work.
- Pichold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1TorrentFlux does rock. But, it's mainly for people who have dedicated boxes to use on torrenting.
- vibez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is the only downside, flash based sites don't work well with remote desktop
- anjinash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Some places (like my college) block VNC and setting up VPN connections. The web interface in question here is a great way around this.
- lonewalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://sourceforge.net/projects/torrentflux
- vibez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1But they let you on torrent sites?
- darkseer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1For the love of god.
nohup /usr/bin/bittorrent-console my.torrent &
I'm pretty sure there is an equivilent for windows.
