µTorrent Remote

µTorrent Remote is not a home or lifestyle app — it is a raw, utilitarian bridge between your Android device and a desktop torrent client.

This is a no-nonsense remote control application designed exclusively for users who run µTorrent on a PC or Mac. It does not manage files on your phone. It does not download anything locally. Instead, it provides a direct, real-time connection to your desktop client over the internet, allowing you to monitor, add, remove, and prioritize torrents from anywhere. The core mechanic is simple: authenticate your desktop µTorrent, connect via 3G or WiFi, and gain full read/write access to the download queue.

The interface is stripped to essentials. You see a list of active torrents with live speed readings (upload and download). You can pause, resume, or force-start individual transfers. The most powerful feature is the ability to add new torrents remotely. This means you can queue a file at home while you are at work or on public transport. The desktop client will begin downloading immediately, and the file will be ready when you return. This eliminates the need to leave your computer running with a remote desktop tool or to wait until you are physically in front of the machine.

Core functional capabilities:

• Remote queue management: Add, pause, resume, or delete torrents from your Android device. Full control over the desktop client’s active download list.
• Live bandwidth monitoring: View real-time upload and download speeds for each individual torrent. Track overall client performance without being at the computer.
• No in-app advertising: The interface is free of ads. The primary monetization is through a paid subscription option called µTorrent Turbo, which unlocks faster download speeds and additional features on the desktop side.

This is a tool for power users. It assumes you already have µTorrent installed on a permanently-running desktop machine with a stable internet connection. The authentication process requires a one-time pairing via a code generated by the desktop client. Once set up, the app polls the client at regular intervals to update status. Latency is minimal on WiFi but noticeable on 3G. The app does not support magnet links directly in all versions — you may need to paste the torrent file URL manually.

Download the µTorrent Remote mobile app now. Do not wait. Install it before you leave your desktop unattended.

Heads up: You will need a constant internet connection on both your phone and your desktop. The app does not work offline. The free tier is fully functional, but the Turbo subscription is a separate purchase and is not included with this download.
