Installing WebUI:
With the release of the µTorrent v1.8, you can simply enable WebUI in the Preferences and µTorrent will automatically download and install the latest version for you. Be sure to pick a username and password in the Preferences.

Updating WebUI:
The latest stable version of WebUI (v0.361) version can be found here. The latest test version of WebUI (v0.362 WIP) can be found here.

To update an existing install of WebUI, simply replace your existing webui.zip (usually located in %appdata%\uTorrent) with the newer one. If you modified the ZIP file to install alternative UIs, like MiniUI or the iPhone UI, then be sure to reinstall them in the new webui.zip.

Accessing WebUI:
PC running µTorrent or another device in the same network:

1. Find your computer's IP by visiting Start > Run > cmd /k ipconfig. Look for the IP(v4)-address line. note: If there multiple such lines it is likely the IP that looks either like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and it is often listed under the first Ethernet adapter.
   
2. Find µTorrent port in the Connection preferences (or the WebUI alternative listening port, if enabled)
   
3. In your web browser, visit http://your ip:your port/gui/ (for example, http://192.168.1.2:63421/gui/)
   

Another device over the Internet:

1. Find your computer's IP by visiting WhatIsMyIP.com.
   
2. Find µTorrent port in the Connection preferences (or the WebUI alternative listening port, if enabled)
   
3. In your web browser, visit http://your ip:your port/gui/ (for example, http://12.34.56.78:12345/gui/)
   

Depending on your network setup, attempting to use your external IP address to access your own IP from within your LAN may not work properly. See this image for possible scenarios. The image might also help you understand how routers and firewalls affect WebUI.

Common Problems:

• I have a dynamic IP address -- Read this topic carefully.
  
• invalid request -- Usually forgot or mistyped /gui/ or used µTorrent port instead of alternate port. See this post for more information.
  
• Blank Screen -- Update µTorrent itself (and get the newest version of WebUI).
  
• IE6/Firefox/Safari/Opera -- Update µTorrent itself (and get the newest version of WebUI).
  
• Page stuck on Loading... -- Update µTorrent itself (and get the newest version of WebUI). If it still happens it is either an unsupported browser or JavaScript related. See this topic.
  
• Weird page with a line of gibberish, a line with Loading... and then a weird form. -- An elusive error that can have various causes. See this topic.
