  1. Ability to use more than one computer with the same username

    I have a desktop and a laptop, both with different sets of torrents on them, and usually different locations and Internet connections. When I'm on the go, I'd like to be able to manage both of them at the same time with the same username.

        We would love to do this. Having to switch browser windows and cut and paste is a hassle.

        It’s technically tricky. We’ve tried a few approaches and it’s hard to allow any the user add torrents from any site and keep the details private (the infohashes need to be encrypted before they reach our infrastructure).

        We might be able to do it if we allowed you to add only from structured data sources, for example RSS feeds.

      • add a option to shut down the remote client computer

        i want to shut down the remote client before the download completes

            Considering this feature. There might be other changes to the client’s RSS system soon which would mean we’d want to hold off on duplicating the current system in the µTorrent Web UI.

          • Keep a whitelist of µTorrent Web server IP addresses available for firewalls to use automatically..

            In case newly allocated addresses accidentally collide with existing blocklists, keep at least one copy of the IP addresses available so that software can allow access automatically without user intervention.

            Existing automation of the network can provide such a list with a minimum of effort and very little programming effort.

            Formats of the whitelists of most firewalls are easily obtained and simple to implement.

            • Move/Copy Completed Torrents

              Move files around either using some kind of file browser or just a file menu that will allow the torrents to be moved to another directory. Being able to view all host computer files in general would be a bonus.

                Would the ability to choose a download directory when you add a torrent suffice? It’s unlikely we’d wish to expose as much of your filesystem as you suggest. Thanks for the suggestion.

              • Send a notification when 1 or x torrents finished.

                Notify the user on the Android platform. Could be configured for specific torrents with labels.

                  • Multiple clients connecting to one uTorrent instance

                    Allow more than one account to connect to the same utorrent instance. This allows 1 computer running utorrent in the house that multiple people can queue torrents in. Running utorrent on more than one machine per connection is not ideal since they fight eachother for available bandwidth.

                      We’ll consider more comprehensive multi-user support. Keep in mind that for simply allowing one µTorrent in the house to which everyone can queue, you can just share a single account.

                      The client should allow multiple people to be logged in to that account and handle the different sessions properly.

                    • Add in the cool "file parts" pane

                      I like watching the file parts show up. That should definitely be in the utorrent web!

                      • Windows Phone 7 support for the WebUI

                        The webui's authentication method currently doesn't work on Windows Phone 7. Meaning you can't even attempt to log in. It asks you to move your finger around, but WP7's edition of iExplorer doesn't seem to work that way..
                        Would be nice to have access from WP7.

                          Some office firewalls won't allow users to connect to normal uTorrent Web ports, which are in the 900x range.
