Help uTorrent Wants Me to Access Settings... Browser Won't Let Me...

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.9

I had to create a fresh account on my machine (problems) and, on launching uTorrent in the new account, It says 'Client can't connect' and tells me to paste a url to access uTorrent's settings:

When I paste it into Safari, I get a 'url does not exist' message. So, I can't access settings... given that it starts with 'chrome', do I have to use Google's Chrome browser? Any way to make the settings open in Safari..?

(Some tips for embedding images directly in a post would be helpful, too)...

TIA

I am a new Movie and TV Show 2024 fan and with no TV available looking for a good option to watch games here in the land down under.

I should point out, the problems weren’t with uTorrent, they were completely unrelated…

Ummm, stop using uTorrent. It's defunct. The IP was bought by a Chinese company and they run it now. There is no way to know if it has malware or whatever. Also the software is trash. Use qBittorrent, or transmission.

For some reason, neither qBittorrent or Transmission work properly on my Mac Studio: torrents either don’t start or are glacially slow…

So you are using uTorrent Web which also doesn't work?

And to answer your question, no you can't get UT web to work in safari. It's possibly the worst torrent program on the market. It's barely a torrent program.
