A big THANKS!!! to everyone who helped in the initial development! I'm still finding my way through plugins and JavaScript!

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Added two menu showing Session Information and Statistics from the transmission-daemon.

[dentex]

version 0.7 is out, with new icons, a sub-menu added, and some code clean-up.

[dentex]

Added v0.7.1 with new menu showing the transfers list.

[dentex]

posted v0.8 with a Torrent Manager menu. For the moment it just start and stop single torrents.

PS: so many views and NO comments? ... mmhh, maybe my problem is the user-base. Who actually uses Transmission as BT client? who knows...
PS2: I would love to do a rtorrent version of this, but we do not have a rtorrent-remote, do we? ...and I don't know anything about RPC. Never mentioning I'm not a programmer.

Quite a monologue here too

I guess many people have moved to >1.02FW, therefor loosing the WDTVExt fun

Including myself

[dentex]

too bad...
IMHO torrenting via OSD only, it's really usefull.
Once I've added the web search I'm done. PC will remain OFF.

I would very much like to try this, but i've also moved on from the 1.02 firmware... although depending how much i end up using the new internet apps in the latest version, i might well go back.

I use the transmission app bin as i always found it easier to configure and keep track of my torrents. I just use my phone, to keep track, over the local network to keep the pc off once a torrent is up and running.

I think this project is a good idea though.

thanks, mate!
