Open pageTorrento docs hub for Android torrent control and Connect setup
Use this hub to install Torrento on Android, connect qBittorrent, Transmission, or Deluge, deploy Torrento Connect on Docker, Linux, or macOS, and troubleshoot remote access.
Current companion release: 1.2.25. Latest published update: April 16, 2026.
Best starting point: if you want remote access without exposing your torrent client to the public internet, begin with Torrento Connect, then open the install guide that matches your companion environment.
Getting started
- Install the Torrento Android app from Google Play and confirm your torrent client Web UI is reachable on your local network.
- Decide whether you need local-only access or remote access through Torrento Connect.
- Open the install guide for your environment, pair the companion if needed, then import the saved client back into Torrento.
Direct local control: add qBittorrent, Transmission, or Deluge directly in Torrento with the same Web UI or RPC details you already use today.

These are the high-level questions that still belong on the hub. Environment-specific install and troubleshooting questions now live on their own URLs.
How do I connect qBittorrent, Transmission, or Deluge to Torrento on Android?
For local use, add the torrent client directly in Torrento with its current Web UI or RPC host, port, username, and password. For remote use, pair a Torrento Connect companion first, save the client on the companion, then import it into Torrento.
Can Torrento manage qBittorrent remotely without exposing the Web UI to the internet?
Yes. Torrento Connect is the remote-access layer for Torrento. You run the companion near qBittorrent, Transmission, or Deluge, pair it once from Android, and the app reaches your torrent client through Connect instead of publishing the client Web UI directly.
Can I run Torrento Connect in Docker on a NAS, Raspberry Pi, or home server?
Yes. Torrento Connect ships as a multi-architecture Docker image for amd64 and arm64, so it works well on NAS devices, Raspberry Pi systems, and homelab servers.
Do I need sudo to install Torrento Connect on Linux?
Not for the normal quick install. The Linux installer starts with a user install under your home directory and only asks for administrator access if you choose the system-wide mode or another step that writes system files.
Can I set up a headless Linux server without opening the Torrento Connect dashboard?
Yes. Headless Linux servers support the SSH flow with torrento-connect pair, torrento-connect client add, torrento-connect client list, and torrento-connect client probe.
Is Torrento Connect included in Remove Ads?
No. Remove Ads is the one-time purchase that removes ads from the Android app. Torrento Connect is a separate subscription because remote access depends on hosted connectivity infrastructure.
Supported clients
- qBittorrent - enable Web UI in Settings and use the same username and password you already use there.
- Transmission - enable remote access in Preferences and use the same RPC credentials.
- Deluge - enable the WebUI plugin and use the same WebUI password, which is often
delugeuntil you change it.
All three clients work for local direct connections and remote connections through Torrento Connect.
