#+TITLE: transmission.el #+STARTUP: showall

An interface to a Transmission session for GNU Emacs. See the commentary in =transmission.el=.

#+CAPTION: Screenshot of transmission.el in action. The typeface is Inconsolata. #+NAME: fig:example [[./example.png]]

  • Installation

Available as the =transmission= package on MELPA https://melpa.org/.

One can install as a package with

#+BEGIN_SRC M-x package-install-file RET /path/to/transmission.el RET #+END_SRC

Otherwise, for installing into one's =load-path=, a system install, etc., do the usual

#+BEGIN_SRC make make install #+END_SRC

  • Setup

The customizables =transmission-host=, =transmission-service=, and =transmission-rpc-path= are used for the URL to communicate with a Transmission RPC server. The defaults reflect the URL http://localhost:9091/transmission/rpc. Also, there is =transmission-rpc-auth= for setting a username and password. Setting a password is optional; Emacs' auth-source facility can search =auth-sources= for an associated password.

To see the rest of the customizable variables, visit the =transmission= customization group with

#+BEGIN_SRC M-x customize-group RET transmission RET #+END_SRC
