Hi all uMonitor users/wannabe developers,
after receiving many feature requests and implementing some of them I noticed that I do not have so much time on my hands to dedicate to uMonitor. It would be selfish and ugly to just keep the product as it is, since it has quite some user base. It is my pleasure, then, to announce that any of you (especially developers), can freely contribute to keep the product up-to-date, improve it, add features, whatnot. At the moment I’m in the process of “properly” migrating the codebase into a more “open source” way (i.e.: add proper headings, some kind of open license, et cetera). Anyway, I couldn’t wait any longer and I just uploaded the current code on github.

Anyone is free, of course, as github encourages, to fork the project. Though I would like to still keep a hand on it, and therefore would ask any interested developer to contact me, so that I can just add you to the project and let you “push” (well, git users should understand the terminology!) directly to it.

Again, if any fork is produced, please give it a different name and icon, in case you are releasing the product, so that no confusion will be made by end-users. I trust your responsibility, developers.

With this move, also, developers who don’t own an hacked iPhone can freely install and use the product.

I hope that this move is well received by the community.

I will wait to hear from anyone interested.

The new version (apart from some bug-fixing) adds:

1. Copy/Paste for all kind of .torrent files You can surf your favorite sites and use the built-in copy feature of the iPhone to copy a link to a .torrent file and then simply paste it in the new field to add it to your uTorrent instance
2. Profiles To easily switch from home wifi/outside network or if you have multiple instances to monitor
3. [testing] SSL It should be possible to now use instances over SSL. I don’t have one to test, so please let me know if you manage!

It will be soon available over at cydia!

There will be shortly a new updated version on cydia (as soon as our friends at zodttd receive and update the new app, I sent it!). The new version has:

1. Adding torrents: you can search for torrents and add them. They will start downloading immediately. Currently the search is done over at mininova.org and torrents are sorted by feeds. – Once the search is done, just tap on one torrent to start downloading!
2. Sorting: now torrents can be sorted by: status, name, label, size, progress
3. Searching: not finding your torrent between all the ones that you currently have? Just hit the search bar and you will get it for sure!
4. Preferences: now it is possible to insert the address field in these way:

   • http://utorrent.dyndns.org/gui

   • www.utorrent.dyndns.org/gui

   • 192.168.0.100/gui

   • 192.168.0.100/gui/

   • …

   You name it, it should work fine!

5. Overall performance: should be better, well, the code looks better, and minor bugs have been fixed

Upcoming features

• Multiple profiles: to edit different instances of uTorrent (or simply different locations)
• More choices while adding torrents (in particular, different search engines, such as: isohunt.com, torrentz.com, eztv.it) – We’re open to suggestions, write down which torrents site you use, and we’ll see if we can include them!
• Bug fixing! Please report any bug the application has, and we’ll see how to fix them!
• Feature requests: feel free to suggest anything, we’ll see what we can do! And if you donate we’ll hear even more! :)
