Web Based Torrent Program


Question

Most of the applications I use today are actually within my browser. So I thought why not my torrent program.

I have been using uTorrent since it came out, great program but I want a change.

What are your opinions on the best web based torrent program?

So there really is no web based only torrent program. Usenet has it, why not torrents?

* I found to Firefox extensions "FoxTorrent" & "FireTorrent" but both are not working with version 8, or 6 or 7 for that matter. Those would be perfect.

I found that as well but it's crap.

You have to enter the URL on the page, can't open torrent with. It opens a new window for the download, and you have no options except for pause. Not really a client.

Yes but uTorrent is also a program. Usenet (Sabnzbd) is installed, but only opens in the browser. uTorrent is a desktop program and a WebUI, pointless to have the desktop program if only using the WebUI.

Why not just use the webUI for uTorrent, you have to have a program running somewhere

For example I have uTorrent running permanently on a server at home and I only ever interact with it via a web browser or Android app

If something goes REALLY wrong with it I'm actually thankful I can interrogate it further with an actual running application by remotely connecting to my server.

There is always the beta of the next iteration of uTorrent that you could try, from what I understand its completely web based but I think it has a few bugs last time I checked

also you could check utorrent remote - https://remote.utorrent.com/

utorrent plus - http://www.utorrent.com/community/labs/plus

can't rembmer which was the buggy one last I checked

bman: You seem confused.

uTorrent has a browser UI, but requires an app to be running on your system.

What usenet app works in a different way to this? None. There HAS to be an app running somewhere, be it your system or on a server. Be it a full blown app or a java applet.
