Create web interface for download management #129

Open GiltosMx opened 5 years ago

GiltosMx commented 5 years ago

Hey there!

I love this app, and I used to be a heavy user of the uTorrent application. One feature I liked a lot was its web interface, where you could manage your downloads, view their status, add new torrents, remove current ones, etc - all accessible via internet. I liked leaving my computer on and downloading stuff, and then being able to monitor my downloads while I was away from home.

I'm attaching screenshots to demonstrate how uTorrent's web ui works, to get a better idea of what I'd like to accomplish here:

Configuration from the desktop client:

desktop-configuration

Accessing from the website/application:

application-access

I'm just creating this issue to ask if anyone is currently working on something like this - as to avoid working double - and if this is something that is aligned to what torrential is :grin:

I'd very much volunteer to working on this, just wanted to get greenlit first. Also, if anyone else is interested in this feature, help is more than welcome!

Cheers, Adrian.

There is one. Torrential base is transmission torrent app. You can check how to enable and configure web interface for transmission.

For enable: ~/.config/torrential/settings.json

"rpc-enabled": true,
