1. Open a terminal window and install the latest version of Transmission available in the Fedora repository as root:
{{Code| su yum install transmission}}
2. Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. In the "Startup Programs" tab, click the "Add" button. In the window that pops up, fill in the values as follows:
{{Text|Text= - Name: Transmission - Command: transmission-gtk %F - Comment: Transmission BitTorrent Client}}
3. Launch Transmission by going to Applications -> Internet -> Transmission BitTorrent Client. Now go to Edit -> Preferences. In the "Torrents" tab, tick "Automatically add torrents from" and choose a folder in one of your shares that you'd like to use as your "torrent landing pad". For example, you could create a share called "Torrents" and have a folder in that share called "Torrent Files". Any torrent files that you copy to this folder will be automatically loaded and started by Transmission.
7. To control Transmission from other computers on your network, you can use the web interface. To access this, type the following into your browser (replace "hda" with the name or IP address of your Amahi server):
{{Link| <nowiki>http://hda:9091}}</nowiki>
8. Another option that gives you more control over your torrents is to install Transmission Remote GUI on your client computer(s). It can be downloaded from here:
{{Link| <nowiki>http://code.google.com/p/transmisson-remote-gui/downloads/list}}</nowiki>
9. Once installed, start Transmission Remote GUI and go to Tools -> Connection Options. In the "Connection" box, type "HDA" or whatever you wish. In the "Connection" tab, fill in the values as follows:
{{Text|Text= - Remote Host: hda - Port: 9091 - User name: <user name chosen in step 5> - Password: <password chosen in step 5>}}
NOTE: Replace "hda" with the name or IP address of your Amahi server.
10. In the "Paths" tab, you'll need to enter path mappings for the folders you've set torrents to download to. For example, if you're using a share called "Torrents", you'll want to enter the following:
{{Text|Text= /var/hda/files/Torrents=\\hda\Torrents}}
