I made also a little install script.
Howto (rootsh is needed) :

1. Get the AIO-Pack from here : AIO-Pack

2. Unzip it, and put the files (install.sh & transmission.tar.gz) in the same folder on your N900 via usb. I've used the download folder in MyDocs. You can create even a new folder if you like to.

3. Open Terminal and type root
!!! root can harm your N900, even brick it, if you do something wrong !!!

4. Change to the directory where you put the two files. cd /path/to/files/...
(cd /home/user/Mydocs/download, in my case)

5. Type sh install.sh and wait for the script to be done.


6. Close Terminal

You should now have 2 new transmission icons (red+green) to start/stop the deamon in the background. Once it is started, wait a short time, then open the browser and type http://127.0.0.1:9091.
Now you should be able to use transmission from the GUI.
If you want to download a torrent, just save the .torrent file inside /home/user/MyDocs/torrent.
The deamon itself watches this folder, and adds it automaticly.
Some settings can be changed in the lower left corner.
Thats it.
I hope this is explained well enough

edit : changed AIO file, was not working... sorry !!
Thank you for your work.

Unfortunately the WebGUI for Transmissions is not complete enough to be useful. You can't select which files out of the torrent you want, cant use blocklists, can't really do anything.

I do agree that it is a much easier route to go just using the web page. It mite also save some memory not having to have a GUI open. On the other hand it also opens up security holes for people that don't have the Kernel-power installed and iptalbes setup correctly.

If you want to go the WebGUI route I'd suggest useing qBittorent
It has a Full Complete WebGUI with all the options you could ever want. It also is run on libtorrent Wich I think we can all agree is about the best. It will connect to ALL torrent trackers at the same time.
