µTorrent: using WebUI
Regular users of a fairly common peer-to-peer µTorrent client should be aware that since September this year, an open beta test of the web interface has begun, which allows managing all client functions from a remote machine. With the discovery by µTorrent developers of the WebUI API, many began to create various useful things. I am going to tell about two of them.
The number of times usefulness is an extension for Firefox.
Its beauty lies in the fact that in your (favorite) browser you can watch an exact copy of the µTorrent window (alternative to the original web interface), and work in it just as you used to do it under normal conditions. It is possible to add new .torrent files to the queue by simply dragging them from the page to the WebUI. Also in the status bar displays the current download and upload speeds.
I note that the µTorrent interface opens only in the sidebar and cannot be rotated to full screen, which seemed a little inconvenient to me. The rest of its functions, with the exception of reception settings on rss, work in normal mode.

Usefulness number two is a widget for Google Homepage.
As it was said, WebUI opens up great opportunities for developers to create all sorts of useful widgets, scripts and other add-ons for monitoring and managing the client. One such example is this widget.
It displays the status of µTorrent’s work on Google’s personalized homepage, so you’ll need to have an account there to use it.

For any of these plugins to work, you need to install the WebUI itself and the latest version of µTorrent (1.6.1-beta-build-483), which is described in detail in the official thread .
I want to note that the WebUI itself is quite enough for normal work with µTorrent from a remote computer using any browser with Flash support, and it’s up to you to use something third-party or not.
