For Ubuntu 23.04, Debian 12, Fedora 38 and other Linux with GNOME 43\/44, there’s now an extension allows to monitor and control your remote Transmission downloads via system tray indicator.<\/p>\n

It uses Transmission RPC protocol for interacting with remote PC\/server that is running Transmission GTK, daemon, or Fragments.<\/p>\n

With the indicator, user can easily add new download via torrent link, monitor all the downloading process, and one click to open the web UI with more options.<\/p>\n

For Transmission daemon running in the background, edit the ‘\/etc\/transmission-daemon\/settings.json<\/code>‘ file to enable RPC remote control, setup user & password, whitelist, etc, before being able to connect. <\/p>\n
