Add torrents to Transmission from anywhere

Requirements:

• Transmission - http://www.transmissionbt.com/
• Dropbox Account – Referral Link, if you use it, we both get 250MB extra
• Dropbox App –  http://www.dropbox.com/downloading

Configuring Transmission to automagically start downloading:

1. Open Transmission preferences;
2. Check “Start transfers when added”;
3. Uncheck “Display a window when opening a torrent file”;
4. Check “Watch for torrent files in : {a folder on your dropbox}”

Now if you add a torrent to that folder while you are away from the computer, Transmission will start downloading automatically.
