Track Torrent Progress From Your Mobile Device

By Scott Gilbertson July 26, 2007 Categories: Mobile, Platforms & APIs

Mtorrent
Are you obsessed with the progress of your torrent downloads? So obsessed you want to keep tabs on them from your mobile phone? Well, good news my OCD friends, there’s now a mobile client for the popular ???Torrent client.

The new software, named ???Torrent mUI, allows you to remotely control your torrents from just about any mobile browser — like Opera Mini.

Although I haven’t tested it, reading through the site notes, it would seem that mUI works a lot like the existing WebUI, but is slightly stripped down to make it more light-weight — and yes, the mobile web interface does work with the iPhone.

MUI lets you monitor torrent progress and control torrents running on your desktop PC from your mobile phone, wherever you are. The ???Torrent mobile UI ditches most of the graphical elements of the desktop client for plain-text views of the most important ???Torrent functions.

Through the mUI you can start, pause, stop and monitor downloads. The UI also offers some additional information about every Torrent — number of peers, percent downloaded and more.

We should note that, despite the name, the ???Torrent mUI is not an official part of the ???Torrent project and was developed by an outsider who was a fan of the client and wanted a mobile interface.
