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.“

uTorrent To rTorrent Bridge

I recently made the switch from TorrentFlux to rTorrent. So, my uTorrent to TorrentFlux bridge needed to be ported.

If you use rTorrent and would like to use uTorrent remotes with it. Check out ut-rt-bridge here.

Maybe, with some help, a universal bridge library could come from this?

uTorrent To TorrentFlux Bridge

uTorrent is to Windows users as TorrentFlux is to Linux users. They both have a convenient web interface equipped with transfer controls. TorrentFlux is a bit more extensive, but uTorrent has always had a big advantage in my opinion: Remotes. There’s a huge list of community projects built from the collective WebUI API.

Every time I’d see a fancy remote application for my phone like Torrent FU or for my work computer like uRemote I’d spend hours thinking of ways to copy them for TorrentFlux. Finally I realized a more effecient solution: A bridge to translate uTorrent request URIs into TorrentFlux URIs and vice-versa.

FluxPhone – TorrentFlux Monitor for Smart Phones

Torrentflux is a nice way to handle your torrents when you’re out and about, but the web interface is quite clumsy on my Android’s mobile browser. So, I created an interface loosely fashioned after the iPhone Web Interface for uTorrent.
