Transmission

Warning:

These instructions were only tested on Debian. It will probably work for other Linux distributions, but you might need to adapt the provided instructions.

In this guide, we will install the BitTorrent client transmission an use it through the web interface.

Install

# apt install transmission-daemon

Configure

Listen Address

By default transmission listen on all addresses. Let’s change that and make it listen only on local address.

Edit file /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json and change this line:

"rpc-bind-address": "127.0.0.1",

And make sure that the change is taken into account

# systemctl reload transmission-daemon.service
