Intro

  • Download torrents using locally running Transmission via JSON RPC interface
  • Manage torrent downloads on remote Transmission instance

  • 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

  • Make possible to choose between built-in BitTorrent engine and running Transmission for local downloads
  • Consistent terminology among the source code (leechers vs peers for example)
  • Save some of the runtime options to SQL database included in Canola (SQL table for dict perhaps?)

Other ideas
