Reviews of remote torrent adder:
works great! (qBit & deluge)
Doesn't work. Remove it from the store.
Doesn't work at all. Doesn't do anything when apart from adding menu item in context menu.
Works great with QBittorrent webui. Found one problem: the notifications don't show in the browser but the sound effect does work.
Using it with RuTorrent and its amazing
Just as advertised \o/
Works quite well but could use an update due to the login credentials bug as mentioned in other reviews. The workaround is rather simple though.
I'm having some troubles logging into some web sites when I have this plugin enabled.
Catching links stopped working since last update..
Doesn`t work on Chrome 80+, https://github.com/bogenpirat/remote-torrent-adder/issues/258
This works perfectly when added to Opera (v66) and linked to my Deluge server (v1.3.15). I can right-click on either a torrent file link or a magnet link, select "Add to remote WebUI" and in either case a couple of seconds later I see a confirmation notification. Much easier than my previous procedures which always required several clicks per torrent!
Doesn't work anymore with qBittorrent 4.2
A chrome update broke this. Doesn't work. Author has abandoned it. There is another extension that works and is not abandoned. Search for 'torrent to seedbox'.
Looks like Chrome 76.0.3809.100 may have broken this as it now constantly throws Server responded with an irregular HTTP error code: 0:
does not work at all anymore. First the notification stopped, now it s not even getting the magnet links.
Doesn't work and not maintained.
I love it
This did start working for two minutes, now it is broken again. What a WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Works great, when it works. Most sites it works fine with.
I would like to have an option to add torrents Paused!
thank
Works great with Transmission. Would only like to have an option to choose the download folder (maybe add a sub context menu with advanced options).
simply awesome :)
Has been working great for me! Two suggestions: 1. Add an on/off switch in the context menu, or a website whitelist/blacklist. That way we can choose to download local. 2. My server doesn't report back to the extension correctly, even though it works. Every time I download, it flags an error message. If I turn off the error flag, I have no notification of whether the torrent was sent. Add a "Torrent Sent!" flag that is independent from the other flags. That way I can toggle the error flag off and still receive notification that the torrent was sent. Amazing job on this extension! Thanks!
Great extension, if you would just add some kind of toggle to be able to download to my local drive. Thought about telling you this on Github, but I really don'y know how to use it.
This is a great extension. Thanks, Ken! For the issue of not being able to add torrent, it's due to some changes that have been made to Chrome. I've found a workaround that works very well for me: First, in Remote Torrent Adder's options, remove the username and password for the webUI. Before adding any torrents, log in to your WebUI in the same browser. Now you should be able to add torrents like before.
Used to work, not anymore. "The server sent an irregular HTTP error code: 0" before I pull out what little hair I have left."
Excellent, saved me all the trouble.
Had to remove it. I kept getting an error on most torrent downloads. There are only so many times I can see "The server sent an irregular HTTP error code: 0" before I pull out what little hair I have left.
Great job, very useful and easy to use.
Perfect thank you.
I couldn't get it to work on rutorrent 0.9.2 but a comment by Mike Yerou helped me solve it. Here was the original comment, "Works with ruTorrent 0.9.2. Just make sure when configuring it that you put no protocol in "Host" field, correct port (443 for https) and any relative path in the correct field. If the configuration was a little bit more user friendly, it would be perfect!"
Love this, and it's absolutely great EXCEPT on yts.ag, the Label/Directory interactivity popup is screwed up (text is same color as background and can't be read). Email me @gmail.com - abcasada - if you need any more info. - Adam
Doesn't work any more. Causes chrome to "beachball" on OSX. I end up having to Froce Quit Chrome and re-open.
Works great would really like it if i clicked the icon and it opened my remote session though.
Please add the function to save remote adder settings to chrome.
thank you very much for developing this plugin; i confirm it works well for rtorrent. one small request if i may; at the moment left click executes the default seedbox and right click to select another seedbox. can it be so that a default CAN be select for left click, and if a default is NOT selected a context menu appears to select a server? small detail but nonetheless :) thank you
finally, i found one that works!!!
My only issue is magnet links, some mod sites for games I download from use magnet links for all their torrents and this doesn't understand it.
Works well with qbittorrent.
Worked fine, with one fatal problem. It always makes the .torrent file named "file.torrent" which is terrible because you lose context for what torrent it's for, and bad if you wan to continue seeding. I had downloaded several images for a new Raspberry Pi 2 box and was left confused later on when I wanted to go manage where the images and torrents were stored so I could keep seeding for others. Instead, use the DelugeSiphon plugin which preserves the original torrent filename (e.g. raspbian_latest.torrent instead of file.torrent).
I have been using this extension for about a year now with different configurations and I honestly cannot find a fault with it. It just works... Perfect for what I've used it for.
Worked great until it didn't
Awesome!
Works great... Thanks! Please add support for setting the label during the download. PS - For all of you who say it doesn't work/catch the download link. First, Chrome needs to be restarted. Second, check the RegEx.
If you could get rid of the useless error screen we've all lives with for years when adding to RUtorrent. That would be nice and would get you that missing fifth star.
accidentally deleted it but it works great
cant find it or delete it even after a rating this must be spam
Cant get it to work :-(
it makes you rate it and then it works...
Worked great until a week or so ago. Not sure what happened but something broke it. Error :200, and sometimes it gives me another error that i cant reproduce at this time. I'd rate 5 stars if it worked again.
Doesn't work
Words perfect in conjunction with a seedbox server like whatbox
Awesome application. Great for adding torrents to a torrent manager that isn't on the computer you're using. I'd like to see a black list function added for torrent catching. The alternative to use the CTRL/ALT/SHIFT button is good, but still rather inconvenient.
Very simple app that does what it says. Works well with Transmission daemon.
Complete garbage.
Very good. Works as intended.
doesnt work with rutorrent
Raspberry PI + Deluge WEB UI and this mod = gold.
nothing
did not work for me
I've only used it a couple times, but already it works great on my Chromebox.
where my notifications bro
The interface could use a few tweaks, but this is the best remote torrent extension for Chrome
Does what it is supposed to do but it also removed the scroll bar from a few websites I visit often. Websites that have nothing to do with torrents at all. Not sure why, but hopefully this can be fixed so I can enable it again.
good
Does exactly what I need.
Just brilliant :) simple and to the point.
simply awesome
Crashes uTorrent.
The UI can be a little wonky sometimes, but this is a plugin I cannot live without.
I don't often come back to review, but this is just so perfect. Never had a problem with it and it streamlines everything perfectly.
very good
Awesome tool, been using it for ages now. Notifications are working again!
Spam,Adware,Virus ! dont do it !
Works as advertised with a remote rtorrent server.
when chrome updated months ago, RTA quit working, so searched for a new browser since this addon is a must. it has recently been updated and even looks prettier.
It'd broken since the last update. Useful only when it works.
worked fine for me until the update, now doesn't work at all!
Awesome! So glad so many things got fixed!
This is an awesome tool. Notifications work again, very happy with this extension.
n find my own torrents to down load
Anyone get the notifications to work for rutorrent 0.9.4? I had immense success with previous versions but now I'm stuck in a rut.
Okay, here's what I did to get it working with uTorrent remote. In Host I added the IP address of my home server. This will be the IP address of whatever PC you're trying to connect to. In Port I inserted the port number I get when I got to Preferences->Connection in uTorrent. Making sure the Web UI is enabled in uTorrent you should enter the username and password for your setup. After not having this setup for literally months to a year, I gave it another go and it was straightforward. Something broke my setup and I couldn't get it to work last time. Hope this helps!
Adds torrent just fine...just no notifications anymore...I'm starting to think DEV abandoned the project.
bad
WORKED wonderfully - right up until notifications stopped working. Still works but I'm looking for a fully functioning replacement.
Notifications not working. dotTorrent files dont working. dotMagnet files working...
Please add multiple configurations with multiple context menu items!!!
Notifications aren't working, but the torrent adding works. Thanks!
Took me a little bit of time to get it to work with ruTorrent, but now it's working I love it!
Very very usefull! Thank you!
This is exactly the browser extension I was looking for after installing Transmission onto my NAS. So much easier than adding manually. Thanks developer!
I have same problem as Kevin Robbins with latest rutorrent, this extension does not allow you to choose label/dir anymore.
this worked well for me using transmission and deluge, but I can't get it to work with utorrent. great job.
Repeatedly fails to catch links
good
im no developer so im not familiar with chromes apis, i just made the switch from firefox to chrome and in my struggle to find relevant plugins i found this.. all its missing imho is the ability to somehow open the webui using the extension, and maybe progress notifications. otherwise works great..
Would be great if we could set up multiple clients (home and seedbox, for example)
Why the hell it's stopped working all of a sudden?
Using transmission-daemon 2.82 -- works awesome, no issues whatsoever
