BitTorrent WebUI Firefox Extension 0.1.8 (whats new)
This Firefox extension allows you to simply click a download link for a torrent file and have it automatically uploaded to your Bit Torrent client through your prefferend web interface. This is especially useful if you do a lot of browsing on a different computer than the one which is running your Bit Torrent client.For example, if I'm at school or at work and I find a Torrent I'd like to download, I just click on it and the extension automatically uploads it to my home computer which begins the download. When I get home my files are waiting for me on my home computer.
Supported Clients:
Azureus is supported through the following Remote Control plugins- AzSMRC (thanks to Damokles for all his help)
- HTML WebUI
- Swing WebUI
Why?
Since I use the HTML WebUI plugin to control Azureus (which I run headless on a Linux server) I got tired of always having to copy paste .torrent links to the upload form of Az's WebUI. So I made a Firefox extension which automatically downloads .torrent files and then uploads them to my Azureus WebUI. The result is pretty seamless, click on the download link of a bittorrent file and you receive a nice little message telling you if it worked or not.Here's how it works.
- After you install the extension, enter the Web Interface information in the "Options" (screenshot) Note: the password is actually stored in Firefox's password manager
- You would then find a torrent to download... click it!
- And see if it worked. (screenshot)
