Transmission integration

[gborri]

Basic version for transmission on osx is now working

To-do:

• Test on unix (daemon)
• Add confirm dialog to remove torrent button
• Promt to delete files on torrent remove
• Torrent add/upload option
• Show nr of peers
• Settings test

Yes this is possible. Transmission has an Api that provides basic interaction https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/extras/rpc-spec.txt

Although i would rather work with a torrent app that supports all major operating systems (windows, linux, osx). Transmission is not available on windows.

I do not use torrents myself so i will not be working on this any time soon. If anyone would like to work on this feature, please do so and send me a pull request.

A port of transmission is very much so available on Windows (http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/) and there is not many other torrent client/servers providing a good embedded experience that you're probably looking for when setting up these kind of servers, especially available on all platforms.

I think that most people that use torrents with SickBeard/CouchPotato use transmission as their client. Hopefully somebody can add support for it soon as it is the only thing holding me back from using this!

Well, considering most the people who use this application stack host it in a LAMP box, yeah, Transmission would seem to be the order of the day.
+1 for Transmission integration, but its not like a thing I "must" have.

I guess that you will cover most users supporting both Transmission and uTorrent.

Well Junal... You just start writing ;)

The problem with this is, i would also need to create a torrent searcher. Just like newznab is now. I do not know what torrent searcher to use right now.

This would also make it complicated for users having both sabnzbd and torrent (transmission) Then there would be 2 download applications.

Bottomline: this could be a good idea but we need to think this through.

uTorrent would be highly appreciated too (as this is the most commenly used torrent client on windows)

I think deluge would be the better fit to integrate with this project. It's written in python, open source and cross platform.

uTorrent integration would be great!
This is the one thing stopping me from using this full time.

[styxit]

I had a little time to work on this today

[wjbeckett]

Looks great!
Any prospect to integrate uTorrent with the same features?

I have to look into the uTorrent Api before i can 100% confirm that, but to support a windows torrent client i want to use uTorrent if possible.
