Uh oh. The latest update to uTorrent broke its web interface, WebUI. After the automatic update, people are seeing only a spinning “loading” in the middle of the page.

I appears that the latest update is incompatible with older versions of WebUI.

No worries – here’s how to update it.

Steps to fix WebUI

  1. Download the new WebUI files from here.
  2. Rename the file to webui.zip
  3. Copy the file to the uTorrent AppData directory. On Windows, it’s probably at C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\utorrent. Another way to find this directory is to go to Start->Run and type: “%AppData%/utorrent”.
  4. Restart uTorrent.
  5. Connect to the uTorrent Web interface and hit “ESC” to reset the interface.

I had a lot of trouble finding where to put the newly downloaded files. Thanks to Robard for the tip in the Eddie on Everything Forums!

Also, don’t forget the last step – if you don’t hit “ESC” to reset the interface, things won’t look right.
