Transmission-Daemon for Windows

Here are my Windows builds of transmission-daemon. I built it with Cygwin's GCC compiler. 7-zip or a newest version of unzip should be used to unpack them.

• transmission-2.60-win32.zip
  
• transmission-2.42-win32.zip

The package contains the following files:

• Cygwin1.dll
  
  Cygwin Unix layer


• transmission-cli.exe
  
  Command-line Bittorrent Client


• transmission-create.exe
  
  Create .torrent files


• transmission-daemon.exe
  
  Transmission server


• transmission-edit.exe
  
  Edit .torrent files


• transmission-remote.exe
  
  Control the transmission daemon


• transmission-show.exe
  
  Show .torrent contents

Unpack the package into a folder, for example, C:\Program Files\Transmission. Then, create a shortcut with the following command:

transmission-daemon -b -o -m -ep -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.* --utp

Double-clicking the shortcut will not open any window. However, transmission-daemon is silently running in the background. You can control the daemon with any Web browser by opening this local Web address:

http://127.0.0.1:9091/

Although you can control transmission-daemon with a Web browser, it's not a pretty thing to do so. I recommend using transmission-remote-dotnet or transmission-remote-gui. The following is a screenshot for Transmission Remote .NET which is written in C#.



And, below you can see Transmission Remote GUI that's written in Pascal.

The settings for the daemon are stored in the ~/.config/transmission-daemon folder. Make sure the HOME environment variable points correctly to your folder.

Also, TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable should be correctly set up to use the web browser interface.
