#HOW TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION ON LINUX HOW TO#
Note: This is a good time to restart your computer if you are not in the mood to figure out how to start/restart individual services.
If this is your first time adding a rule in ufw, the small man page is all you need to get started (because it has examples for most use cases). "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1,192.168.0.100,192.168.0.101,192.168.0.102,192.168.0.103,192.168.0.104",īy investigating the settings.json file you can confirm if all commands we used previously got executed properly or not.Īlong with allowing ip addresses in transmission, you should also make sure your firewall is not blocking these addresses. If above command opens separate process ( ps -ax | grep transmission), please kill the process first. If above command does not work (I don’t trust this command anyway), you can change following options in ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json file. Please read next two lines before running this command. For that, you have to enable the allowed list. In your home network, you might only want certain ip addresses to have access to transmission.
#HOW TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION ON LINUX PASSWORD#
Note: Make sure to clear the command history (e.g using “ history -c” command), because your password is in clear text. $ transmission-remote -n username:password To setup a username and password, you can use the command line option like this. In addition to “ Directories” labels, there are also “ Actions” labels, which I have found no real use for me. After you add a torrent link/file you can right click it and “ move” to your favorite label (I would have wanted it to let me choose the label during torrent addition like in qbittorrent).
#HOW TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION ON LINUX DOWNLOAD#
I usually use separate directories depending upon the type of download file. Using “ Local Preferences->Directories” tab add some of your favorite directories as “ Labels“. Using “ Remote Preferences” window configure things like “ Download directory“, “ Incomplete download dir” and “ Download queue size“. Next, open “ transmission-remote-gtk” application and connect to Host: 127.0.0.1 After running this command in your terminal, open up a web browser and go to “ If asked for a password you can specify one, if not no worries. If you want transmission remote to be started at startup, this is the command to be executed. To start transmission-remote run “ transmission-daemon” command from the terminal. Using your package manager install “ transmission-cli” and “ transmission-remote-gtk” packages. I use “ transmission-remote-gtk” GUI tool for commands I don’t want to remember e.g creating labels (a label is an alias for specifying a download directory and you can have as many as you like), changing the queue size etc. I also use other torrent clients for smaller download sessions, but transmission-remote is my default torrent client for most of my downloads. I also use different key bindings to control behaviors like pause the torrents, start them, or use alternate speeds.

With it I can control the client using terminal commands, using a web browser or “ transmission remote” android or a gtk GUI applications. I have been using it for past 6 months, and I like it very much. However, in this post I am going to talk about transmission-remote, a command line variant of this popular torrent client.
Transmission is a torrent client that comes pre-installed with most linux based operating systems like Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint etc.
