I have an easier way for you all

All you need is dropbox and tramission.

In your Tramission setup select your dropbox folder as the folder tranmission watches for torrents.

Then simply use the dropbox web interface to drop torrents into your dropbox folder. Transmission will automatically start the download as soon as the torrent hits the dropbox folder.

The great thing is all you need is a computer with a browswer to remotely start torrents.

That would mean that your followers would know what you’re downloading or you’d need to create a new Twitter account, wouldn’ it?

Yup, you could make Transmission monitor a folder provided you can download the torrent, which you can’t do with the iPhone. Hence this method.

I’ve seen tutorials (heh, maybe on this site) where people trigger torrents by having two devices sharing a folder via Dropbox.

You simple make a new folder in the dropbox folder, name it torrents, and tell your uTorrent client to automatically load torrents from that folder. So when you’re away, all you have to do with your laptop/mobile device is save torrents to that folder.

I was looking for this kind of thing for AGES, but then I found a very simple way (at least on the Mac) with TweetMyMac (http://bit.ly/2Pj55X or http://tweetmymac.com), where you just Tweet a Terminal-esque command for it to send back to your computer

ie: torrent http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/79325381/game+of+thrones?tab=summary

you can even use it to shut down/ log off/ sleep/ record ip/ screenshot/ ichat and Tweet back respective photos
