Clutch for Transmission

I've contemplated using it, but never actually tried it out.

Clutch - http://clutchbt.com/

Clutch is a WebUI for the Transmission BitTorrent client. It allows you to manage your torrents from anywhere you can access the internet, and runs on OS X and various flavors of *nix.

Clutch provides most of the basic features of the desktop client, including torrent upload, torrent start/stop, file path selection, speed limiting etc.

The Web interface back-end is written in PHP, with an HTML and JavaScript? (AJAX) front-end. There is a native cocoa Clutch.app package available for OS X that provided a one-click method of managing Transmission torrents over the web.

For those who don't know what it is..
 
I couldn't get it to work. I have MAMP and a lot of virtual hosts set up on my laptop, and then there's the whole port forwarding thing that gets on my nerves. If you've not got a web server set up already, I think it's just a one-click setup

edit: Transmission is also crap now, so I have no use for it.

I love Transmission, what you using instead then?
 
Azureus. I know what you're thinking, it's slow, bloated, horrible interface. It's the only stable bittorrent client I've used that is accepted on all trackers and allows you to easily pick and choose which files you want to download. To be honest, I'd prefer a command-line one.
 
You can pick and choose in Transmission too? :confused:

I've found the latest build 1.0.6 to be stable for me, and the port forwarding finally works.

note that I said "easily". As in, when you open the torrent it says "which files would you like" and I choose then say "go".

also, note that I said "accepted on all trackers". A lot of places block Transmission, and I refuse to have Azureus and Transmission running when just Azureus will do. I did say all this in my previous post, didn't I?
 
Ah right, I see what you mean.. you need to choose the files manually in the inspector (in Transmission) after the download starts.

I wasn't aware trackers blocked Transmission, I use a private one.
 
Yeah, I know. I've used Transmission a lot and I hate that it doesn't give you the option when it opens.

I use a few different trackers to bet my completely legitimate content. Some of the completely legitimate sources block it, some don't.

New version of Transmission just come out, it now asks what files you want to download when adding torrent. :)

heh, that's weird! If it's still blocked on trackers I use then it won't be worth the switch. I just noticed something else I prefer about azureus, it shows you how many seeds and peers there are on a torrent as well as the amount you're connected to. Transmission just shows you how many you're connected to in total.
