uFacebook is a Facebook application to manage uTorrent BitTorrent client, when you are away from your computer. The application uses uTorrent’s WebUI to interact with your computer and control uTorrent remotely over the internet.

uFacebook lists all torrents that are running in your uTorrent client. You get statistics on upload and download speed of every torrent. Once installed and setup, you can add, stop, start, or even delete torrents from just about anywhere. uFacebook can let your friends see what’s downloaded or progress of your download. For people like me, who don’t like to show off, uFacebook has an option to turn it off. More screenshots and installation instructions can be found here.

This is not the first time WebUI has been used to remotely control uTorrent. We’ve seen mobile friendly version of WebUI and iPhone compatible version previously. It’s a neat idea to integrate a software application with a social network.

  1. That’s cool. I didn’t know facebook could do that. That will save a lot of trouble for people, just like all other new technology is.

  2. Is BitTorrent safe from the copyright police these days? I’d always thought that newsgroups were better?

  3. Well that is the reason why Utorrent Web UI is made. It makes Torrent Download more easy.
    Makes my Firefox cake-walk.

  4. Easy and safe are two different things, it is the latter that concerns me!

  5. When I first read the heading post, I thought this might be a cool way to get around my current ISPs bandwidth throttling by getting torrents through a http protocol, instead of peer to peer. My current ISP is throttling all peer to peer traffic, regardless of whether the files are legit or not. Doesn’t look like this will do that.

  6. It sounds cool but dont really see the point (advantage of using this).
