Sure, you can just use Safari and µTorrent's built-in WebUI to monitor your torrents - and you'll have to if you're not the swashbuckling, jailbreaking type. Those of you who don't mind getting a little colored snow on your iPhone or iPod Touch, however, can use µMonitor. Rejected from the App Store, the developer has decided to do an end run around Apple and release µMonitor via Cydia.
The app actually taps into the µTorrent WebUI API to work its magic. The end result is a solid mobile interface which makes controlling your torrent downloads from your iPhone a breeze. You'll need to add repo.theiphonebay.org to your Cydia sources if it's not there already -- they're taking care of µMonitor's distribution. You may also want to sign up for a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS.org to give your machine a fixed address to access even if your ISP frequently cycles your IP address (like mine does).
