µTorrent® Remote for Android
This app doesn't create file associations for torrent files or doesn't even detect downloaded torrent on mobile. I would love to have better app with above mentioned features with ease of adding torrents and also it should have capability of adding torrent even when main u torrent application on computer is offline. Please consider these modifications
I dont know why would someone not gine 5 stars! Easy to work, this app does what i need. Manage my torrents when I am not home. The only thing could be better: download and upload limits i set form desktop to be shown in android.
Used to work quite well, but with a few minor issues. For the last few weeks, it hasn't worked at all due to a "Decryption error". I see others are having this issue too. If the problem was fixed this app would get 3 stars from me.
Tried to create an account it keeps telling me to click the access preference bottom which is no where to be found. After an hour of successfully going round in circles, its good to in form you I just deleted the app. Give accurate and simply placed instructions
Brilliant app I use it all the time. After the last update however the buttons don't have any graphics in them, I reinstalled but they haven't came back. Also logs me out sporadically but I think that is down to my connection
It would have proven to be a very good Application, had it not be as buggy as it is. It will literally ask you to keep logging in again and again. And after that, it will throw an error saying "is your remote client running and connected?" even though the connection is totally fine.
The only issue I've ever had is with it staying logged in. It handles magnets well and it's very easy to use. Paired with TPB app and it doesn't get much better. Is it possible to add a feature to be able to change the download location for the Windows app? It would be great to be able to switch between music/movies/TV shows folders for Plex, then I wouldn't have to touch my media PC at all.
I've been using µTorrent for a very long time now. This app does everything you would expect it to with very easy setup. The entire setup consists of creating a username and password using µTorrent on your home computer then entering that into the app and presto, you're done! With this app you can see what you've got downloading, uploading, stop, pause, and remove torrents. The best feature is being able to start a new torrent from anywhere in the world to start on the computer µTorrent is installed on. This is an absolute must have for any µTorrent user!
It is convenient to be able to begin downloads on your PC remotely, that's pretty all much this allows you to do, though. You can't select the download directory, nor can you choose which files to download and which not to, it automatically downloads all the files in a torrent. Also, for me at least, I constantly have to logout then log back in to be able to add torrents. A good start, but work is needed.
Well what can I say! Works as I'd want it too. Granted lacking advanced features like ratios etc but can stop and start, transfer files from pc to mobile, can add new torrents to the home client from mobile. Ok the buttons have no text descriptions but found the icons intuitive and pretty self explanatory. I think some reviewers may have firewall issues maybe as I can connect to this no matter where in the world I am! Any tweaks in future much appreciated but I'm more than happy with it already!
When I downloaded a video onto my pc then transferred it to my device, I tried to watch it and couldn't. Player failed to launch was all I got. I'm using a Nextbook 8 with Android 4.1.1, jellybean. Also would be nice to transfer data from my pc straight to my devices SD card. Every thing else seems to work perfect. Top notch quality. Must have app for Android. Thanks & keep up the good work guys.
Awesome app for managing downloads. Really user friendly and easy on touch screen design. Password bug on special chars seems fixed. Login failure to Raptor Server prevented by disabling PC to Sleep. Suggestions, Pause & Resume all torrents, Colour coding on status, Total transfer speed on title bar, Sort of torrents by different attributes.
I only gave 4 stars because I find the remote servers go down a fair bit. Not too big of a deal but kinda annoying at times. I almost never have to log onto my PC any more, and I can download torrents at home any time.(if servers are up) I love this app. I would recommend it. I am sure they will sort out the remote servers in time. It has not been too bad. :) I would have paid a buck for this no prob. :) But it was free. LOVE IT.! One thing to remember is that you have to log out and back on if you have not been on it for a bit. (several hours) Make sure you log onto it before you start searching for torrents.
I was so glad to find this in the play store. I am not a long time user of uTorrent, so I'm not aware of all the little features that it supports. Finding this gem put a smile on my face. I knocked it a couple of stars for presentation (it could probably use a material refresh) and lack of auto-add when downloading a torrent from the browser. This is a feature that I enjoyed with the previous software that I have used. Click a torrent link, associate with the uTorrent app, and done. Easy.
When I select an active torrent three green boxes appear without labels on the boxes so you have to guess what they are. Would be awesome if the developer could fix this small but annoying issue. This issue has been around for long enough, please fix it
If I could control the torrents better, have all the functions the software utilizes it would be great. If it was a part of the uTorrent Mobile app so I didn't need both apps it would be more efficient. Also, sometimes if just doesn't find the Remote...
This is a pretty slick app. The facr that you don't have to be on the same network as your computer is really cool. I haven't tried starting, stopping or adding a torrent off of my home network yet...if that actually works then this program is heaven sent!
Had this app for awhile and it works great. No problems at all just remember your username is case sensitive also when logging in. Small footprint like the desktop program. Update: Logs in fine but I can't add any torrents. USELESS!
I found this to be so much easier to use than the regular torrent downloaders. Plus it won't eat my data, which isn't that big of a deal with an unlimited data plan, but I'm already up to 4 GB and I think I'm getting throttled back by Verizon. Setup was easy. Had to install the newest version of utorrent on my PC. Linking my phone and pc was super simple, just follow the directions the dev gave and you'll be set in a couple minutes.
I second that more functionality would be awesome, like force start and remove torrent+files. Also adding popular private trackers to app for easy torrent searching.Similar to torrent-fu. To the user upset about Peer Guardian not working. Do you not download from private trackers where corrupted files are non-existant,and worries of "blacklist users" are null? Just a thought for ya, figured most users using a torrent app on their phone would use closed Trackers.Peer Guardian only blocks IP's,easy to beat..
It used to work fine. Unfortunately, the last month I cant get it to work anymore. Whenever I try to log in, it either shows "decryption error" and wont allow logging in and even if 1 out of ten times I get to log in, the app does not show any of the torrents I have in my system. I am waiting for the next update to see if this will be corrected, otherwise I will have to permanently uninstall it.
I dont know why would someone not gine 5 stars! Easy to work, this app does what i need. Manage my torrents when I am not home. The only thing could be better: download and upload limits i set form desktop to be shown in android.
Every time I click on the app it force closes. Nothing helps and I'm a pretty tech savvy guy. I've done everything and it has NEVER ONCE WORKED FOR ME. Once fixed I will give 5 STARS NO DOUBT!! HELP!!! DEVICE- Nexus 5 Android KitKat 4.4.2 (No Root)
It would be a five-star app because of the excellent interface,however I have an issue when adding a torrent. Whether it is directly from the torrent site or copy/pasted half the times the torrent is not added ,if fixed it will be one of them best apps ever made!
When this works it's not too bad but there are some bugs that they just don't seem to care about. When adding magnet links or torrents from the browser it more often than not fails to add it but doesn't say there was a problem either. uTorrent is also constantly failing to log in and you have to manually log out and back in to get it to work again. Once they fix some of these annoyances and make it more reliable it should be a good app.
The idea is worth atleast 4 stars, however it does show the files you are downloading, you cannot prioritize them how I would do on my PC... If you could add the priority feature like you have on the PC, it would be greatly apprieciated. Great app. 4 STARS. Thank you!
the app is really nice, and clean. but all i wanted the remote for was to start and stop torrents. which this does, but when i start and stop i do em all at once. to free up some bandwidth for other things. i have over 100 torrents going typically, and to do them individually would be ridiculous. it REALLY needs an option to pause/resume all torrents. then it would be a 5 star app for me.
I tried copy pasting the magnet URI into this app and it failed saying that the magnet protocol wasn't supported...BUT if you log into this app first and leave it open in the background, then open your web browser and click on any magnet link, it will be passed through to utorrent remote and start downloading. Added several tpb torrents using this method so far without a hitch!
So happy to find a simple lightweight app which has given me more accessibility and control in what i want to download when i'm not around the house....I definitely recommend this app to just about anybody who likes downloading stuff using torrents... I usually don't take out time to write & rate an apps but for this app i had to make an exception..
The web version is fully packed of features, that's what real remote is, i can do anything i want and that's what i'm expecting here.. With this app, all i can do is add and delete, can't even properly manage my torrents. It would be great if devs can convert that web version to this app.
It's very very useful for me as i am the regular user of uTorrent and this app helped me a lot..! But there are some week points for this app it gives an error many times, and login and log out is the major problem it irritates a lot. Plz fix the Bugs And there should be a refresh button and a queue changing option..! All over great and helpful app..!
The app is good for controlling your torrents remotely. But there are not much controls on the app. For example if I have paused a torrent on my computer and I wanted to start it again from the app, I can't do that, instead I have to stop the torrent and start it again which results in loosing all my seeds and its really annoying because the speed has to increase once again. And worst of all, this app hasn't been updated since November 2nd 2011! WTF BitTorrent?? People use this app! Fix these issues ASAP!
The app worked for maybe 5 minutes......then it won't refresh and tells me that there is an "issue with the client" and that the computer in front me isn't currently working? It is working just fine on the computer. Definitely needs a few bug fixes.
After few server errors and error msg "Ok" (kinda weird, if it's ok, how can it be an error) , finally got it to work. The 'Local Files' can't be set to external SD, so hope the next update can include this feature.
Doesn't display current status..ill have a torrent downloading on the pc and I check it on the app and it says the torrent is stopped when its not stopped and is currently downloading...also have to log out and back in runs into errors. I wouldn't trust downloading when I'm on the go. Since seeding leads to getting caught even tho its a curtisy thing and without seeders there be no downloading. But nywayz app needs more work before id rate a 5.
Tried to create an account it keeps telling me to click the access preference bottom which is no where to be found. After an hour of successfully going round in circles, its good to in form you I just deleted the app. Give accurate and simply placed instructions
I had this working great, a few months back. Then a issue; were I had to constantly change/update user name, that was a pain but at least it worked. Now I am getter a error anytime I try to download. I noticed this the other day, after flashing a new Rom. I can't say that flashin the Rom caused this new error. I doubt it everything else is working a 110%. I uninstalled cleared the files, still nogo. This app is a 5 star if I didn't have the issues.
Nowhere close to being as fully functional a client as ttorrent. Needs ability to set default save location, show amount of peers, select files within a torrent to be downloaded, set priority, etc. But I'm glad utorrent is starting to get into mobile. By far my favorite desktop client. Just not ready for mobile yet.
Such a good idea but terrible awful execution. Constant force close, constant log outs and 404 errors when I try to add a torrent. Don't waste your time, just get the BitTorrent app.
