ut-bridge: A Modular uTorrent Bridge

I know the previous two posts are also about my (insert linux seedbox server) to uTorrent Bridge projects, but bear with me just one more!

In my last post I said, “Maybe, with some help, a universal bridge library could come from this?“. Well, this is my official call for help. I present to you…

ut-bridge: A Modular uTorrent Bridge – “ut-bridge allows you to perform native µTorrent WebUI requests on non-native servers. This enables the use of µTorrent remotes such as µRemote and Torrent-fu on non-µTorrent servers like rTorrent and Transmission.“

The name needs work, but I’ve created a GitHub Project Page in hopes that this can evolve into something truly useful. Useful to few maybe…but useful none the less!
The reason I’ve chosen to adapt other servers to uTorrent clients is that uTorrent is primarily the client of choice for Windows users. Because of this, it has a large selection of clients and tools that interact through it’s web interface. Since I’d rather not spend the time creating similar clients for lesser used servers, I decided to let the uTorrent client developers do that job and I’d just…bridge the gap!

Basically, my previous ut-rt-bridge and ut-tf-bridge are now dead. But ut-bridge is alive and I need your help. You can find all the information you need at the project page.

Update! – 8/26/2009

ut-bridge has gained some publicity thanks to it’s supporters. So, I’ve decided to clean up my original code to cut out some nonsense…as well as some naming confusions caused by using a client as a server.

After v0.2 is released (within the week?), I’ll be actively developing a Transmission server module.
