THE TORRENTIAL application µTorrent is quite smart.

In a tiny 100KB download file, the author packed a very fast and relatively lag-free BitTorrent client with a small memory footprint. This free app has grown in popularity, overtaking a lot of better-known clients.

Now, a new version of µTorrent comes with WebUI, currently in beta release version.

WebUI allows user to connect to its bit-torrent client from a remote location, really nifty if you're on a trip that took you to another continent. Let's utilise that internet connection, shall we?

For those who do not have access to computer all the time, but would still like to control their torrent client from abroad, a new project also surfaced. Under the name µTorrent mUI, author Sindre Sorhus recently released an Open Sauce version of remote plain-text client.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
