Get uTorrent notifications on your iPhone!

There is a newer version available, please visit this post for details.
*EDIT*
I recently discovered the Prowl app, and thus, Growl for Windows. While I really have no need for the notifications on my desktop, they are quite nice on my iPhone. There are a few plugins and such for various apps to use with Growl, but nothing for uTorrent, which is also one of the most requested. Or is there…
Keep in mind this is still beta, and includes only the notifications shown in the first screen shot. The only known bug is that when a new torrent is added, the status is something I have not yet mapped, mostly because I haven’t been able to catch what it is before it starts. This will show up as 194 when you get a Torrent Added notification. The app does support auto-start at launch, but does not have a setting to run at startup so you would have to put it in your startup folder manually if you want that.
In order to use this you must have the web interface enabled in uTorrent, as well as Growl installed on your PC, and Prowl installed on your iPhone

Been following the Growl for Windows wish list and saw your post. Excellent! I have growl and ugrowl running as a service on my windows home server (so it will run with no one logged in) and works great! No more hounding the webui to see when a download is complete.
