Transmission is a torrent client that is available on Amahi among other platforms. It has a web based interface, as well as a daemon.
(Note: this will be automatic in the future)
When you install Transmission from your Amahi dashboard, the /var/hda/files/torrents directory will be created.
If you want remote access to your downloaded torrents, or if you want to drop .torrent files in this folder, to have Transmission automatically download them, you'll need to create a torrents share. To do this:
- Go to the Shares tab in setup, or go directly there: http://hda/setup?tab=shares
- Click the New Share button
- Create a share named torrents
Note: Torrent files added to this share directory are also automatically added to Transmission to download. This is done every 5 minutes.
How to update Transmission to version 2.04
If you're using x86_64 version of Fedora 12, execute this as one big line in terminal:
rpm -Uvh http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-cli-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-common-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-daemon-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-gtk-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
