Firefox App

My default browser is always Firefox. I love its interface, large amount of apps and that it is not beholden to closed ecosystem. It has an app that can modify pretty much eveything. Having recently setup a torrent server I wanted way to automatically start torrent files or magnet links I download on the remote server.

Bittorrent WebUI

I managed to find a nice firefox app that will sent any clicked magnet links or torrent files download to my remote transmission server. To set this up first install the app from the firefox store. [WebUI]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bittorrent-webui-120685/developers

To configure it for use with the transmission interface.

server : port : url (/transmission/rcp to push links onto the server not /transmission/web as expected). It is an annoyance to use /rcp than /web as when clicking the icon on the firefox interface it take you to that link rather that the interactive web link.

Benefits

This has saved me the annoyance of having to use the web interface to manually add any torrents I want.
