The Web UI is used to allow external applications to control µTorrent remotely. The default Web UI for µTorrent is accessible to modern browsers that support AJAX.
Enable Web UI will enable the web interface if checked. When enabled, µTorrent should automatically download the required webui.zip file from the µTorrent server. If it doesn't, you can still download it manually from the webpage and properly place it in the µTorrent settings directory.
Authentication
- The Username field allows you to specify a username to log into the web interface, and is required in order to use the web interface.
- The Password field sets the password for this username. It may be left blank if you do not wish to password-protect the web interface.
- Enable Guest account with username enables or disables the guest account, a user that can view (but not edit) the torrent jobs currently in your torrent jobs list. If enabled, a username for the guest account must be specified in order for it to work.
Connectivity
- Alternative listening port, if enabled, tells µTorrent to use the specified port to listen to Web UI requests (and the internal tracker if enabled). This option is especially useful for those who randomize their ports each time µTorrent starts. If left disabled, µTorrent will serve the web interface over the same port as its normal listening port. You must forward this port manually, even if you use UPnP to forward the normal µTorrent listening port.
- Restrict access to the following IPs allows you to limit the IPs that are allowed to connect to the web interface. Multiple IPs may be specified, but they must be separated by commas. IP ranges may be specified using CIDR notation.
