An option to add torrents from URLs (in web client)

Post by BklynKid »

Hi,
Would be great if there was an option to be able to specify a URL (in the web client's "Open" dialog) and have the daemon download the torrent from the URL and add it automatically.

Search the forums before posting, please.

The feature was removed.

Support for adding torrents via url has been added to the 1.5x web interface.

I have now used this with the 1.5 update on my computer..... but i was hoping for this feature to be added to my iphone as that is usually what im using when im mobile.

I realise that copy & paste are not available for the iPhone but if I know the link it would be great to type it in

Also if this web app was made into an app store application would would probably be able to make an open button that would launch a browser from within the application then if you clicked a link that had a torrent file in it it would use that .... i would definitely pay $1.99 for something like .... im sure others would too

Have a look at http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... f=8&t=6937
I must be doing something wrong.... I did that and all it seems to do is open up the transmission interface... but nothing gets added

If you were using my code, I've updated it to resolve this issue. Sorry!
