Transmission Remote GUI is developed using Lazarus RAD and Free Pascal compiler.

Features:

  • Native application for Windows, Linux and macOS
  • uTorrent-like interface
  • Select files to download
  • Choose files priority
  • View details about connected peers
  • Full information about each torrent
  • Per torrent options

Installation

The installers are listed on the GitHub Releases page, and the installation instructions for different platform are listed as below :arrow_down:

Linux

Easy way (recommended)

There are precompiled program's binaries for i386 and x86_64 Linux architectures.

  • Download and extract the release for your architecture.

Now you can execute the transgui binary. (Change the transgui file permissions to executable if needed)

Additionally, you can create a desktop or menu shortcut to the transgui executable, and run the program using the created shortcut.

Harder way

Build the program by yourself.

  1. Make sure you have working Lazarus and Free Pascal compiler installed.
  • Free Pascal Compiler 2.6.2+ and Lazarus 1.6 is used to develop Transmission Remote GUI.
  1. Download the sources archive and extract it to some folder or perform svn checkout.
  2. Open terminal/command line prompt and cd to the sources folder.
  3. Execute lazbuild -B "transgui.lpi" --lazarusdir=/usr/lib/lazarus/default/ command to build the transgui.res file.
  4. Execute make command to build the application.
  5. Execute make zipdist command to create a release .zip archive in the Release sub-folder.

Windows

Portable zip tarball (recommended)

  • Zip tarball release is much more small than the installer one, which can save you some bandwidth, disk space and time, just simply download and extract the zip tarball to wherever you want, directly execute transgui.exe or add shortcut for it.

Note: The first time you use this program, you may need to install some additional dependencies (if you need SSL/TLS enabled), including Visual C++ Redistributable Package(Direct link) and OpenSSL libs(Direct link), this only needs to be done once.

Installer

This installer has additional installation wizard and includes static OpenSSL libraries in every releases, the size would be much bigger than the zip tarball, but you don't need to take care of the OpenSSL dependencies.

  1. Directly download the installer.
  2. Run the installer and follow the steps to install it on your system.

Using Chocolatey

Run choco install transgui to install the latest version of Transmission Remote GUI.

macOS

Without a package manager

This method needs no additional pre-requirement or dependency, just:

  1. Download the app image from release page.
  2. Open the image file to mount the image.
  3. Directly run the application or drag the app icon to your disk / Application folder.

Homebrew

You need to have Homebrew installed. Execute this command to install Transmission Remote Gui:

  • brew install --cask transmission-remote-gui

Command line parameters

You can specify path to a .torrent file or a magnet link as a command line parameter. The program will add the specified torrent.

  • -hidden : Start the program hidden. Only the program's tray icon will be visible.
  • --home= : Specifies a home directory for the program. All program's settings are stored in the home directory. You can run multiple instances of the program by specifying different home directories.

Portable mode

If the program finds the transgui.ini file in the same folder as the binary file, then it will store all configuration and data files in the program's folder, instead of the folder in a user profile.

Fixed hotkeys

  • Alt + 1 : All Torrents
  • Alt + 2 : Downloading
  • Alt + 3 : Completed
  • Alt + 4 : Active
  • Alt + 5 : Inactive
  • Alt + 6 : Stopped
  • Alt + 7 : Error
  • Alt + 8 : Waiting
  • Alt + S : Searchbox (filter torrents by keywords) - Esc cancel filter and clean the box.
  • Alt + G : Info Pane - General Tab
  • Alt + K : Info Pane - Trackers Tab
  • Alt + P : Info Pane - Peers Tab
  • Alt + F : Info Pane - Files Tab

Use libp2p to establish a TCP tunnel (does not support UDP). The underlying transmission can be implemented using QUIC, TCP, WebSocket, WebTransport. Use noise protocol to encrypt the transmission. Support NAT. Can be used in multi-layer combinations. If there is no public network IP, you can use the node ID to connect. In some situations, directly specify the IP and communication protocol to connect. The node private key is stored in .key files in the current directory, and the default file name is user.key. If it was deleted, a new node ID will be created automatically when the program is restarting.

A pure JS BitTorrent streaming environment, with a built-in list manager. Imagine qBit + Taiga + MPV, all in a single package, but streamed real-time. Completely ad free with no tracking/data collection. This app is meant to feel, look, work and perform like a streaming website/app, while providing all the advantages of torrenting, like file downloads, higher download speeds, better video quality and quicker releases. Unlike qBit's sequential approach, seeking into data that hasn't been downloaded yet will prioritise downloading that data, instead of simply closing MPV. Designed to be a similar experience to using a streaming website with functionality akin to MALSync and AniSkip.
