How to Install uTorrent's MiniUI for Mobile Browsers

MiniUI is a web interface for uTorrent that was created as an alternative to WebUI for Mobile browsers. If you prefer minimal user interfaces, I highly recommend it.

Even if you prefer uTorrent's WebUI, I'll show you how to install MiniUI alongside WebUI. If you are on the bus, out hiking or just in a classroom dictated by a callous teacher with a strong aversion to laptops (or anything technological for that matter) *takes deep breath* with MiniUI you will be able to fully manage your torrents from your Blackberry!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• An internet connection
• uTorrent with WebUI
• 7zip

1. 
   MiniUI's files.

   Downloading:
   
   Download the MiniUI from Ultima's Google web page (in Resources).
   
   Extract the archived file to a folder called mini. You can use Microsoft Windows for this, but you will need to use 7zip to re-archive webui.zip.

2. 
   Placing MiniUI within WebUI.

   Editing Webui.zip:
   
   Now locate webui.zip. It is typically in %APPDATA%/uTorrent, but portable installations keep it wherever utorrent.exe is.
   
   Extract webui.zip to a folder called webui. Place the mini folder into it.

3. 
   Replacing webui.zip.

   Replacing Webui.zip:
   
   Select all files and folders in the webui folder and archive it back into webui.zip. Right-click on the files, select 7zip => Add to archive. Make sure you select the files within the webui folder, and not the folder itself.
   
   Replace the old webui.zip with this new one.

4. 
   Firefox's address bar with my MiniUI address

   Accessing MiniUI:
   
   I assume you know how to access WebUI. If you don't, see my article on using WebUI securely with SSL encryption.
   
   Start uTorrent and access WebUI. Add "mini/index.html" after ".../gui/" in order to access MiniUI. Due to the nature of uTorrent's Web API, index.html must be present after /mini/.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use MiniUI as WebUI by simply replacing webui.zip with the archive you downloaded in Step 1.
