The bot joins the channel with random nick because when connection is interrupted for few minutes and comes back online, the bot cannot join using the old nick. Where the status is shown in different color background depending on the kind (stopped, paused, active).

A typical command looks like the following: Current features are adding new torrent (via direct URL), pausing, stoping, deleting and viewing status. Let’s say you want something downloaded and you are at home (or anywhere), so you just go to some IRC channel on some server (configurable) and talk to the bot. The ideal case where you need this tool is for example when you run your torrent client on an office/school computer and you don’t have port forwarding (or you don’t have a static private IP) and you cannot control your torrents using the remote control that ships with uTorrent but you want to control your torrents from home.

There was no such tool during that time (even now, I think) but I badly needed it. Few years ago, I made an IRC bot uTorrent remote controller for personal use.
