==Done==
 +
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
 +
* I have successfully forked pure-python BitTorrent 3, cleaned up the code and integrated it to my plugin. Basic functions seem to be working. Will update Debian package ASAP.
 +
* Fullscreen view of feed entry:
 +
** Title
 +
** Updated
