Use desktop client as interface for remote client

Post by emanuelsa »

Hi,

I currently use the web UI to connect to my NAS transmission, the we-ui is really nice, but it's not optimal, as it has some browsing issues (no minimal view, navigation always snaps to selected torrent) and i was wondering if wouldn't it be nice to be able to use the mac or linux desktop client to connect to a remote client and display the content as it was local.

You need Transmission-Remote-GUI. Works a treat.

Sorry, i disagree, it's nowhere as refined as the default webui or mac os x desktop client.

What about Transmission-Qt?

Yeah, we know, it doesn't have all the bells-and-whistles than the Mac app does, but it has more than the Web client, and it is still simple, not a cluttered mess uTorrent look alike, and it has the remote session functionality.

Transmission-Qt is part of the source distribution... you're probably used to the .dmg packages, I don't think there is one, you have to build it (start with Qt, you probably have everything else on Mac OS X, but I'm not sure about libevent).
