ng-torrent-ui is born as a replacement for the uTorrent WebUI, focusing on download management and responsiveness instead of covering each and every functionality. The use of virtual scrolling removes the need for paging even on a huge list (tested with ~7k torrents), also on a mobile device.
It is mainly focused on remote controlling the download list instead of trying to replicate each and every feature of the desktop application.
If you want to discuss or get support, here's the Google Community.
Download latest webui.zip from the releases tab and copy it in the uTorrent directory. If you want to preserve the official version (which is included in the package anyway), rename the existing webui.zip instead of overwriting.
From a mobile device, you can pin the application (from the browser, select "Add to homescreen") and get a nice icon which will open in fullscreen with your favourite uTorrent webui ;) .
If you point to /gui/latest.html instead of the usual /gui, you will get the latest version as soon as it is released, without having to download and replace the webui.zip: the browser downloads the latest version for you, without touching the uTorrent install. There's a bug, you'll see the "offline" version number in the header instead of the loaded one, but the loaded version is correctly the latest one.
If you want to see it in action, you can test it on the demo page. It's just a demo with a randomly generated download queue, without a real backend. You can play with the frontend, just don't expect the downloads to change status or to complete :)
Just in case you don't feel comfortable enough to completely leave the old way, or you are used to some features you don't want to leave (yet ;) ), the classic WebUI, v0.388 (latest version found in the official uTorrent forum) is embedded. It can be reached at /gui/classic/index.html and is also linked in the 'About' tab.
Current version is developed and tested on the latest version of Chrome with μTorrent 2.2.1 (build 25302), and tested for the main functionalities also on the current μTorrent version, 3.4.2. At a later time (possibly) other torrent applications will be supported.
If, for dev purposes, you want to test the app from sources without installing in uTorrent, you need to run
grunt serve --torrent-host=localhost --torrent-port=8055replacing 'localhost' and '8055' with your utorrent hostname and port.

- Albanian
- Arabic
- Belarusian
- Bosnian
- Bulgarian
- Catalan
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- English

- Serbian (Cyrillic)

There are parts not translated yet, and I'll need help because I don't speak nor write most them (except for italian and english). If you think you can help, contact me.

The base project was scaffolded with Yeoman.
The main page includes a Google Analytics tag. It is just a counter for statistic usage (nothing else is tracked, neither the downloads nor anything else). The tag can be easily removed from index.html, if you believe this could be a problem just let me know.
This is developed during my free time so, if you are willing to offer me a beer and support this project, you are welcome :) You can donate with paypal in eur or usd.
The following screenshots are partially outdated: the look'n'feel is quite similar but are not 100% accurate and missing some functionalities.
