  • Adds a context menu item for downloading torrents (both magnets and links to .torrent files) on your remote Transmission server.
  • Adds a direct magnet: handler too. (Firefox only)
  • Adds a browser action (popup toolbar icon thing) that lets you view existing torrents' status.
  • You can even search in the popup if you have a lot of torrents.
  • That button even has a badge (auto-updating torrent count / download speed / upload speed).
  • The extension is very lightweight. Pure modern JavaScript, no library dependencies except for a tiny polyfill for Chrome/Opera/etc. compatibility.
  • Automatically picks up your session from the Transmission web UI, no need for separate authentication.
  • Works fine if your Transmission instance is behind a reverse proxy that uses TLS client certificates.

The extension requires access to all domains because requesting a dynamically configured domain (the domain of your Transmission server) with the permissions API not yet widely supported. (API not implemented yet in Firefox and Edge, requesting a specific domain that's unknown at manifest writing time just does not work in Opera.)

Edge isn't supported yet because it is weird. (But shouldn't be hard to support.)
