Type the address into the browser on ANOTHER COMPUTER — INSIDE THE HOUSE (without script blocking or addons at first.) Address example: http://192.168.1.100:55533/gui
=
[The Assigned IP address of your server where Utorrent is installed (in Ipconfig under IPv4 Address.)]:[The port number you put in Utorrent's WebGUI options]/gui (typed exactly)

ON THE SAME MACHINE: (the UTorrent server) you have to substitute 192.168.1.100 with the word localhost. So it would be: http://localhost:55533/gui

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE: You need your Internet IP address for the whole network. From any browser inside the house go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and copy the IP address you see. For example 140.140.133.13. Substitute it for the assigned IP (in between http://and:55533/gui. Now your utorrent Webgui outside the house is: http://140.140.133.13:55533/gui Voila!

Summary
_______
Inside the house: http://192.168.1.100:55533/gui
Inside the server: http://loacalhost:55533/gui
Outside the house: http://140.140.133.13:55533/gui

Complications:
___________
*Make sure you type http:// before the address in your browser. Some give you a blank page if you don't.
*To avoid problems try forwarding the port in your router settings. Utorrent help files will guide you to a place for this. So, using the example again: IP address = 192.168.1.100. UDP = 55533 – 55533. TCP = 55533 – 55533. Other possible settings: "Always Allow" or "Forward" or "Schedule Always." Application name = Utorrent. Computer name = NameOfServer
*Last: remember to check if uTorrent and your port (55533) are allowed through your server's firewall — both Home and Public in latest Windows OS.
*Your router's firewall might need some trial and error if all else fails. I actually had to restrict it a little more to get it working. Go figure! (Dlink router: TCP and UDP Endpoint Filtering are both set to "Port and Address Restricted." Now I commonly get utorrent downloads at 600 – 1Mbps. No kidding.
*Make sure UPnP is on in the router and in Utorrent.
*Router: I do best with WMM and Auto Channel Scan turned off in the router settings. Let it scan for a day and then set it to that channel. (1,3 or 11 normally) Stick to Wireless G only rather than a mixed mode for faster speeds. Qos slows me down a lot. I turned it off. Sticking to either TKIP or AES, not mixed seems to help.
*One last thing: make sure there's a wall between your wireless router and the microwave oven — the distance doesn't matter. It's like a dog and a cat. If they can see each other a fight will start. I just tucked my router around a cozy little corner rather than the middle of the desk and it's quite happy. Forgot all about that mean old bully microwave!

Have fun and hope I helped.

The problem is, that this add-in is just a modification of the WebGUI and doesn’t offer anything more useful than that. Personally, I use the webGUI and don’t have this add-in installed.

First off, lets get 2 things straight. There are TWO things we are talking about here. The official uTorrent designed “WebUI”, AND the independently designed WHS uTorrent Add-In (of which the original article was about. Info about the (IMO useless) WHS Add-In can be found above, and info on the uTorrent WebUI can be found here: http://www.utorrent.com/webui-guide.php

If you install uTorrent as a windows service with AnyService Installer, you do NOT have to be logged in to your WHS box to DL torrents.

I have never tried using the WebUI outside of my home network, but if you forward the ports, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work.

If you are competent with Windows/computers at all, and understand basic networking, there is NO reason why you can’t make this work. It is very simple.

FWIW, forget about the WHS uTorrent Add-In, and just use the official uTorrent WebUI from the link I gave you above.

Good luck.

I think a problem I may be having is understanding how the web UI works. ie. I imagine it works by you some how being able to input torrent links to a webui that then has been allowed to pass that link to utorrent on your remote computer (home etc) through a port you have opened in your firewall/router. utorrent on that computer then proceeds to leech/seed that torrent? If this is right then I can see a benefit of being able to download torrents from your desk at work etc. without having to remote desktop to your computer at home. What I need is to use my home server for torrents as it’s always on, thus saving me having to keep another machine in the house on just for torrent activity. I may have this all confused but if not, is my requirements catered for with this add-in and if so is it working reliably as I’ve read people complaining about problems with it working properly (something about having to be logged in to the server for it to work?)

Thanks

The Add-In for uTorrent works perfectly fine… We are discussing its uselessness though. The uTorrent WebUI right in your web browser works much better.

Shame though it would be very cool!

Why not just setup the shortcut to the WebUI in your browser… Even easier then opening up the Connector. I actually have no need to open my Connector at all, seems gimmicky now. Although I have been using WHS since it came out…

@Glenn L

Yep, the uTorrent add-in serves no purpose after getting WebUI to work.
