Introducing Apps for µTorrent

uTorrent was successful because it was light, small, fast and did one thing very well. Bundling games, video and antivirus apps with it could hardly be more antithetical.

If I or someone else can use this to solve the problem of moving data files, I'll be a happy camper.<p>This is a HUGE issue for me, as I'd like to consolidate torrents split across 3 drives (I realize I shouldn't have done things that way in the first place... but it happened organically)<p>Since most of them are on private trackers, I don't just want to stop sharing them, and moving 50+ torrent/data files is currently a nightmare.<p>It's on the current suggestion list (<a href="http://utorrentideas.uservoice.com/forums/47263-general/suggestions/714604-have-built-in-one-click-move-data-files-and-mov?ref=comments" rel="nofollow">http://utorrentideas.uservoice.com/forums/47263-general/sugg...</a>).

That's number two on this list:<p><a href="http://utorrentideas.uservoice.com/forums/47263-general" rel="nofollow">http://utorrentideas.uservoice.com/forums/47263-general</a><p>I couldn't care less about the first (Deluge &#62; * ), but I'm glad to see they're listening to feedback.

Between this and some of their other projects like live streaming (<a href="http://www.utorrent.com/labs" rel="nofollow">http://www.utorrent.com/labs</a>) it seems as if they're aiming for a broader vision of peer-based networking, as opposed to just file distribution.

My first thought was that this must be a joke at Facebook's expense.

An extension that delivers similar functionality to PeerGuardian (<a href="http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/" rel="nofollow">http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/</a>) would go down very well I bet.

Why do you need to be able to build apps for this?
