How to connect to transmission-daemon instance/host? #7

Hey,

I wanted to let you know that I've created an AUR package and it seems to build and install okay so far.

But when I start transmission-remote-gnome, the only message I get is the SOUP cannot resolve one. This happens also when I start transmission-daemon in before that (and let it run in parallel) and can successfully connect to the daemon using another remote like transmission-gtk.

[$] transmission-remote-gnome
WARNING:root:Response was not successful: SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE (2)

I also checked all menus and buttons in the UI, but it seems as there's not an option available to set the host that it tries to connect to initially. I also tried debugging what it tries to connect to via netstat, but I couldn't get far because soup closes the sockets too fast (I guess).

So my question is now: How can I connect to a transmission daemon instance? How's the CLI syntax in order to do so successfully (if it's a CLI parameter!?)?

You set the host name in preferences. I'm not sure I know why that is the error since the default is localhost.
