louish Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hello everyone,I just finished making a WebApp for the iPhone, so you can search for torrents and start downloading the torrents directly from the search results.http://www.louish.com/iphone/In order to use this WebApp, you must have your WebGUI enabled. Your WebGUI also needs to be accessable away from home (make sure your port is forwarded, and you know your home IP Address).The first step is to provide your IP address and port. For example, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 (Do not include the http:// and do not include /gui/)Your WebGUI url will be saved with a cookie to your iphone, so the next time you visit the site, you wont have to re-enter your URL (unless your IP address changes).When you do a search, it uses isohunt to search for results, then sorts it by the most seeds. It shows 20 per page, with next and previous buttons at the bottom. When you click the blue icon to the right of the torrent, it will push the torrent url from isohunt directly to your uTorrent WebGUI interface and downloading will immediatly start. If your WebGUI is password protect, it will prompt you to enter your user/pass the first time you start downloading a torrent. I also provided a link to a popular iphone utorrent interface so you can monitor the downloads and verify they are downloading.I hope everyone enjoys this, I just made it cause I was tired of not being able to start downloads while I was away from home. And since the iPhone doesnt have copy and paste, it was always a pain trying to remember the torrent URL to add to the WebGUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Looks good louish. Notes:louish will NOT be able to see your username and password.If you want to be able to use the iPhone link you need to install it first.Works for more then just the iPhone. Can even be handy for PC users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 The only problem here would be that it doesn't (and can't) support token authentication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Until such time it is default ON, there is likely no problem however right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Considering the fact that it's even an option, it would be a problem for users who actually enable it. Doesn't lessen this project's importance or usefulness, but still a factor that users should be aware of if it doesn't seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louish Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I made a lot of recent adjustments. The search results are now faster, more accurate, and if you click the title it now show the torrent details from isohunt.I have also made some adjustments so the webgui IP and port is never saved or written in html on the page. The webgui cookie is only accessed via javascript when you click the link to start the download (for privacy).I also have friends using this on their blackberry.

Lord Alderaan Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Looks good. If you want you can leave token=& out of the url it serves no purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinvives Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 nice... would it be possible to use another torrent tracker/search engine?? i would love to use btjunkie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 TF coverage http://torrentfreak.com/search-and-download-torrents-from-your-iphone-081125/Is there really two interfaces like the comment suggests (there doesn't seem to be a good reason to have another ENTIRE URL for HTTPS: support)??

Ultima Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 What do you mean by two interfaces? HTTPS serves the same page, only over SSL >_>The reason louishsecure.com is needed is because the SSL certificate references that specific domain, not louish.com.

thelittlefire Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Well I was asking, in as far as I knew, the "official" owner of the app/domain If they're both for the same company, even better. If not, aware is forewarned. Thank you for the information on the certificate.I can appreciate ingenuity in the face of restrictions (this a prime example), and I guess I never noticed how often I absent mindedly use the keybindings for copy/paste in my browser.

Ultima Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 You can verify that they are indeed owned by the same person by simply visiting https://www.louish.com/iphone It'll work, but um, the certificate would then be for the wrong domain ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSacredSoul Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nice app however not working for me. It works fine on my one computer but when I try it on my iPhone, I get "Cannot Open Page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost". I tested other pages and they all work fine so it cant be with my connection. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 You filled in the right ip:port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykotron Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Lord Alderaan.. does that iPhone API work? I couldn't find installation instructions for this.I have to put something in the uTorrent AppData directory I believe. But do I have to replace the webui.zip? Do I unzip the webUI.zip? Where do the files from the iPhone.zip go? Do I leave it zipped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 There is no "iPhone API" for µTorrent. And what does that have to do with this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
