    I would suggest you go with anything that gets installed as an add-in (instead of a regular app).

    The addon itself does not install uTorrent, rather it makes a uTorrent interface in the WHS Console. It still requires a normal install of uTorrent and configuration of the web options.

    I am having trouble finding a uTorrent add-in download for WHS as an MSI-file, I only find exe-files. Are there any MSI-files out there or can I make an installer from the exe-file?

    For what it's worth, µTorrent and similar applications are desktop applications, and are not designed for use on Windows Home Server, which is a fairly closed system. While it's possible to install a wide range of apps on WHS, it's really not recommended, and installing anything that requires an installation method other than the (supported) add-in installation method is unsupported. This includes µTorrent.

    In addition, various users of µTorrent on Windows Home Server have had a variety of problems. The µTorrent add-in for Windows Home Server alleviates some of the concerns, but it's still a desktop application, and still isn't recommended or supported on WHS.

    So if you install it, be careful, and if it causes problems, don't be too surprised.

    I ended up installing from the desktop. Have had no issues. Just have to go to desktop if I want to add or remove.
