The purpose of this project is to develop a BitTorrent plugin for Canola. So far I can have list of RSS feeds and list of torrents for each. RSS feeds allow quick access to fresh torrents on several websites. The backend will be based on Transmission. Most used BitTorrent client for Maemo is Transmission, it exposes JSON based RPC interface which is easy to use from plugin. After completion of this feature I will also add libtransmission support so running Transmission separately is not required.
-
* Allow seaching torrent sites: The Pirate Bay, Mininova and LegalTorrents
+
-
* Download torrents using built-in BitTorrent 3. Includes detailed view of download
+
-
* Download torrents using locally running Transmission via JSON RPC interface
+
-
* Manage torrent downloads on remote Transmission instance
+
-
* Allows accessing password protected remote instances of Transmission via standard URL format: http://user:pass@host:9091
+
-
* Respects your Canola settings of download folder
+
-
* Allows adding, modifying, deleting and renaming RSS feeds
+
-
* Allows adding, modifying, deleting and renaming Transmission hosts
+
-
== To-do ==
+
==Alpha version==
-
* Make possible to choose between built-in BitTorrent engine and running Transmission for local downloads
+
To install on your Nokia internet tablet, point your web browser to:
-
* Consistent terminology among the source code (leechers vs peers for example)
+
http://v6sa.itcollege.ee/shared/canola/canola2-torrent-plugin.deb
-
* Save some of the runtime options to SQL database included in Canola (SQL table for dict perhaps?)
+
-
== Other ideas ==
+
Follow your application manager dialogs and you're done!
-
* Allow searching in RSS feed
+
NB! You are expected to have Transmission and Canola2 installed on your device!
-
* Allow browsing Torrent contents and playback of retrieved media.

Please follow manual [http://v6sa.itcollege.ee/shared/canola/man here]

This is multi-purpose torrent plugin, so far I have completed
 +
* Management of Transmission instances on several hosts:
 +
** Pause, resume, remove torrents.
 +
** Show done/total sizes and up/download speeds.
 +
** Options panel includes Pause all and Resume all.  
 +
** Hosts and their login information is stored in Canola's SQL database.
 +
** This allows user to manage their downloads on desktop, laptop, router etc.
 +
* Painless management of local Transmission instance on the tablet
 +
** Starts Transmission minimized and paused if required.
 +
** Reads Transmission settings automatically or resets them.
 +
** Using separate process allows user to exit Canola while keeping their downloads running.
 +
* Read RSS feeds of several (legal) torrent websites.
 +
** Add linked torrents to running Transmission instances (currently adds to local Transmission only).
 +
** Respects your download folder location set in Canola settings panel
 +
** This allows user easily to browse new media availible and start downloading with single click.
 +
* Manipulation of host list.
 +
** You can also enter passworded Transmission instances in the standard URL format: http://user:pass@host:9091
 +
* Manipulation of feed list
