The package contains the following files:
- Cygwin1.dll
Cygwin Unix layer - transmission-cli.exe
Command-line Bittorrent Client - transmission-create.exe
Create .torrent files - transmission-daemon.exe
Transmission server - transmission-edit.exe
Edit .torrent files - transmission-remote.exe
Control the transmission daemon - transmission-show.exe
Show .torrent contents
Unpack the package into a folder, for example,
C:\Program Files\Transmission
. Then, create a shortcut with the following command:transmission-daemon -b -o -m -ep -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.* --utp
Double-clicking the shortcut will not open any window. However, transmission-daemon is silently running in the background. You can control the daemon with any Web browser by opening this local Web address:
http://127.0.0.1:9091/
Although you can control transmission-daemon with a Web browser, it's not a pretty thing to do so. I recommend using transmission-remote-dotnet or transmission-remote-gui. The following is a screenshot for Transmission Remote .NET which is written in C#.
And, below you can see Transmission Remote GUI that's written in Pascal.
The settings for the daemon are stored in the ~/.config/transmission-daemon folder. Make sure the HOME environment variable points correctly to your folder.
Also, TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable should be correctly set up to use the web browser interface.

Thank you! It is an only solution that works for me! I tried compiling it under cygwin, and also tried winport-transmission.
ReplyDeleteThank You!
Thank you very much for your hard work, this works great where Qt does not!! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's great thing you do!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I, very much appreciate to you. = )
Awesome! thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do however have an issue when following your guide. The exe files I compile are about 8 MB larger than the ones in your download. How can I get smaller executables?
XiN_1,
ReplyDeleteUse upx to shrink executable files:
upx --best --strip-relocs=0 transmission-daemon.exe
