As we have seen on the past with the Drivetrain BitTorrent app, uMonitor, an app that allows your to remotely monitor your uTorrent downloads has officially been denied entry into the App Store. And once again the official reason was because a BitTorrent app is “often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights.”

Sad but true, it looks like Apple believes that anyone who uses BitTorrent must be using it for illegal downloads. The funny part is that the uMonitor app is just what the name implies — an app to monitor your torrents, not actually download your torrents.

“µMonitor is an easy to use monitor running on the iPhone for your µTorrent application. What it does is make use of the µTorrent Web-gui API to show your current torrents from anywhere you want.”

Now the story seems to take what is becoming a familiar path, Claudio (the developer) has released uMonitor in Cydia. Of course that limits the amount of people that will be able to use it, however the nice part is that it is available for free.
