- Rated 5 out of 5by Barafu Albino Cheetah, 6 years agoWorks very nice! Tried it With ruTorrent and Deluge. Thank you a lot!
A suggestion: Could you please add an option to disable notification about torrent successfully added? Torrent UI sends the same notification itself, and I get double notification. I'd prefer UI's notification only, because it is more meaningful.
Another suggestion: you should write a Youtube downloading addon with opensource backend. *All* existing options are both closedsource and scummy. You will be the king of extensions with those two. Just make an in-browser UI for youtube-dl and ffmpeg. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15108566, 6 years agoI think the client app drop down list should have Flud rather than Flood

posted 6 years agoUnfortunately Flud doesn't have web interface to communicate with. - Rated 2 out of 5by Zachary Hill, 6 years agoLooks good, but doesn't work for me, always get 404. I know the path and auth are right, clicking the icon even brings me to the right page, but adding magnet links doesn't work. (I think because it's under a /path, due to being behind a reverse proxy) I've used other things that work with the API, so the reverse proxy is okay, I think your extension just doesn't like example.com/rtorrent as my path. Any way I can get a hotfix for this? Another potential problem is that your extension may be doing DNS lookup for the path with its own DNS server. (As my path resolves differently from my internal DNS server than it does for external servers)

posted 6 years agoClients installed in subpaths are supported and should work fine. Can you open an issue on Github with specific client/webui etc. versions, so I can take a closer look at this? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15043727, 6 years agobeautiful plugin, works perfectly as advertised.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14890484, 6 years agoAfter extension's crash doesn't work. Unknown response, 403: Forbidden :-(
Suddenly it works again. What was it?... - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13657772, 6 years agoNot working with Transmission - Error - Unknown Response (405: Method not allowed)
Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis error most often means that your server path is wrong. On transmission you should point the path to transmission root (most likely http://127.0.0.1:9091/) and not http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission/web/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14757090, 6 years agoThis is fantastic. Thanks for writing this and having the code on github. I dug around the code as the permissions concerned me, but I didn't see it phoning anywhere except to your assigned torrent UI. I haven't decompiled the extension yet but assuming that goes well and matches the github source I see no concerns over the permissions and they make sense since you don't have a site white list (which I'd recommend as a feature request to limit permissions in the future).
Developer response
posted 6 years agoUsing minimum amount of permissions is one of my design goals. Hopefully we can get rid of "use data on all sites"-permission when content handler supports comes available. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14754748, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14732770, 6 years agoThanks for this; it works, but is somewhat limited. I wish I could select the download path and labels out of a dropdown when clicking a torrent. If that's too complicated, maybe we could at least set a default download path to be used when left-clicking torrents - right now it seems to send it off without a path supplied unless you navigate the context menu options.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoI have planned including "Add with advanced options"-window which would allow selecting download directory, labels and possibly bulk adding torrents. Hopefully I have time to add it in some point, - Rated 4 out of 5by megaslx, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14597458, 6 years agoThis extension allows me to send a magnet link to my VPN'd VM Seedbox running Qbittorrent and pick what directory I want the file to download to. Apps like this can improve a torrent program so much.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14572408, 6 years agoDoesn't work.
edit: Adding torrent fails every time with an extremely unhelpful "Network error". No further details or instructions given in the UI or in the documentation.Developer response
posted 6 years agoCan't really do anything without details.
Edit: Firefox doesn't expose more detailed error messages about network communication. Authentication etc. do have their own error messages. This is most likely related to wrong hostname or port (or about anything from firewall to cable not plugged). - Rated 5 out of 5by taosk8r, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cuckoo Parachute, 6 years agoSeems like the first (and currently only?) magnet torrent add-on that supports left click downloading so I don't have to right click and "add torrent" anymore. FANTASTIC!
