If you happen to be a peer-to-peer addict, the makers of the popular BitTorrent client uTorrent just renovated their client’s web interface: the app now lets you remotely access your on-going transfers directly from your iPad (as well as iPhone and Android).

Using the feature is easy, all you need to do is set up a username and password in your uTorrent client (under Options > Preferences > Web), and then go to http://web.utorrent.com with your iPad.

Note that you will need the latest development build of the client to play with the web interface (3.0 alpha), which is only available for windows at this stage – mac users will have to be more patient to play with the feature.

Great app from the guys at utorrent. Install is quick and easy and it works great from a PC, but no go on the iPad. It gets about 90% there and just stops, oh well work in progress!

Impressive getting the application onto the iPad, and pretty quick all things considered.
