Connect Transmission
Add Transmission to Kochab with username and password and default port 9091.
Transmission is a torrent download client. Kochab uses its RPC API for queue visibility and control.
What Kochab exposes through Transmission
- Downloads tab: Transmission transfers in the blended queue
- Control screen: status, pause/resume, and queue drill-in
- Per-torrent actions: queue priority and reorder, per-torrent speed limit, seeding ratio/time limit, reannounce, assign to a category, and the alt-speed mode toggle
- Search sends: grabs handed straight to the client from Search when configured
Not exposed through Transmission
Full Transmission settings, peer/blocklist management, and per-torrent file priority editing stay in Transmission’s UI.
Before you start
In Transmission: enable the remote session and set authentication if required. On many installs, Settings -> Remote exposes username and password fields.
