# Transmitter

![Screenshot](https://addons.mozilla.org/user-media/previews/full/184/184029.png?modified=1622132727)

a WebExtension for the [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com/) BitTorrent client.

- Adds a context menu item for downloading torrents (both `magnet`s 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](https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill).

- 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](https://github.com/valpackett/damnx509).
