Is Utorrent For Firefox safe?
Utorrent For Firefox sends uTorrent Web UI credentials and torrent URLs over cleartext HTTP.
When adding a URL or file, the extension builds requests to the configured uTorrent Web UI with the saved username, password, and Web UI token in the HTTP request. The code forces http:// for token retrieval and add-torrent calls, so those credentials and torrent URLs travel without HTTPS between the browser and that Web UI.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
