While I'm not home I left Transmission running, usually at full speed. I've been mostly using the desktop gui (GTK) version.

I have been toying with the cli version (not sure which is the proper one between transmission-cli and transmission-remote-cli), and the web version (transmission-daemon), but my idea, rather than starting new downloads, is to control the downloads I have already running.

I am using my home computer also as a file and web server, and I want to be able to check if a torrent has already finished, or I have wanted to pause, change priorities or control the bandwidth for those downloads still in the GTK when I am away.

Is there a way, either Web (prefered) or CLI, that will allow me to control desktop downloads with Transmission when I am away?

The Transmission GTK has a web interface.

In menu: Edit > Preferences, the Web tab, allows to enable web, and configure port, authentication and accepted incoming IP addresses. That web interface controls the same torrents that are governed by the GTK.

I am not sure if the Web tab is available without having installed transmission-deamon, though.
