???Torrent users have another way to manage their downloads thanks to a new Window Vista gadget. The ???Torrent gadget for Windows Vista's sidebar works in combination with the ???Torrent WebUI, which can be downloaded from the ???Torrent forums.
The ???Torrent gadget gives a quick glimpse of your current upload and download speed in Vista's sidebar. Clicking for the extended view will show all the torrents currently downloading, including detailed info like seed and peer numbers, D/U ratio, D/U limits, and more.
Installing the WebUI component of ???Torrent is a little tricky. The RAR file that you can grab from the forums will contain a zip file which you will need to drop into your ???Torrent settings folder (don't unpack it, just drop the whole .zip file in the app data folder — see the readme included in the download for more info).
Then when you launch ???Torrent head to preferences >> advanced and click to reveal the additional options.
You should then see a WebUI option. Set the user and password for WebUI access and then download the Vista gadget. Fill in the appropriate info and it should work.
