Is uTorrent | Torrent UI Sender safe?
uTorrent | Torrent UI Sender sends user-selected torrent and magnet links from web pages to the local uTorrent Web UI.
The extension scans page links for magnet URLs and .torrent files, then lists matching links in its popup. When you choose a link or use its context menu, it sends that URL to the configured uTorrent Web endpoint on localhost, using saved Basic Auth settings if provided.
