[Tutorial] Trigger downloads away from home.

Post by Zentao »

Hello,

Just a short tutorial if you want to use your iPhone and/or iPad when you are away from home (via 3G/3G/Wifi) to trigger torrent downloads so the file is downloaded and done when you arrive home.

1. Make a free Dropbox account on your home computer via the Dropbox homepage.
2. Make a folder in Dropbox on your home computer via the Dropbox homepage called "Torrents".
3. Install the Dropbox client on your home computer and on your iPhone and/or iPad.
4. Set the Dropbox clients to sync between all clients (home computer, iPhone and/or iPad).
5. Set Transmission to "watch for torrents" in the Dropbox folder "Torrents" on your home computer so torrents will start when you click on magnet links or torrent file links on your iPhone and/or iPad (via the Safari web browser).

Your home computer must be turned on, connected to the Internet and Transmission must be up and running as well.

English is not my native language.
