µTorrent mUI (Mobile UI) Released Today
July 25th, 2007µTorrent mUI is a mobile version of WebUI, that enables you control your
torrents remotely from anywhere. It works on every mobile, including Opera Mini. Here’s a screenshot of the current non-mobile Web UI integrated within the latest version of µTorrent.
Why should you care?
Imagine you’re on the road, and your best friend calls you to tell you your favorite video podcast has released a new episode, but you won’t be home for another few hours. So you open your phone, navigate to the site, and grab the torrent for the highest resolution video. You open the torrent using the Mobile Web UI for µTorrent and begin downloading immediately from your computer. By the time you get home, your high resolution video will be ready to watch and seeding away.
Just one of the situations you might use µTorrent mUI in.

Cool idea, of course. However, at least one of the private trackers I belong to has banned uTorrent builds older than 1.6.1 since uTorrent was sold recently. Politics over p2p get in the way. So, I prolly won’t be using this anytime soon. And, what about the phone people? Will they get all hinckey over p2p and torrents now like the ISPs?
