forwarding torrent to RPi

[lalazart]

I have recently configured my pi to be a nas/torrenting server using samba and transmission. Now that I have everything configured on the Pi side I am unsure how to make it work with my local machine.

What I would like to happen, is when I find a torrent on my local machine (my laptop) my pi will grab the torrent file, download it and save it. Since I have transmission also installed on my laptop, it automatically starts the download there. How do I tell the torrent file that I click on to go to the pi and download on transmission there rather than locally?

First in your browser settings make it save the torrent by default.
Then have a script move any torrent files in your downloads directory to your server.
run the script in crontab or with folder triggers.

I use a great chrome extension for that - a single click on a magnet or torrent link on the PC browser starts a torrent on the remote pi.

I have samba and transmission-daemon running on the pi,
so I can monitor progress via same extension, or just access completed files over samba.

I solved the problem by using a chrome extension, and it works great! Just configure it, and it automatically sends the torrent to transmission on the remote machine.

Here it is if anyone wants to check it out:

Thanks for the help though!
