Open Transmission Preferences, enable remote access, and note the host, port, username, and password you already use. Transmission commonly uses RPC port 9091.
Free on your local network. Remote through Torrento Connect.

Open Transmission Preferences, enable remote access, and note the host, port, username, and password you already use. Transmission commonly uses RPC port 9091.
For local-only control on your home network, add Transmission directly in Torrento on Android. For remote control away from home, install a Torrento Connect companion near the Transmission server.
Use the same Transmission RPC details in Torrento, or add them on the companion first if you are using Torrento Connect. Test the connection before you start managing torrents.
After the connection works, use Torrento to monitor torrent status and speeds, add magnet links or torrent files, and run common actions like pause, resume, and delete.
If local control is enough, start in the main Torrento docs and add Transmission directly in the Android app. If you need secure remote access, install the companion from Downloads and then follow the guide that matches your Docker, Linux, or macOS environment.
Torrento splits local and remote use clearly, so you can control Transmission on your own network for free and only add Connect when you actually need remote access.
Use Torrento as a Transmission remote on your own network without creating an account or subscribing to remote access.
Use Torrento Connect when you want to reach Transmission from outside your local network without exposing Transmission directly to the public internet.
Local control stays free, Remove Ads remains separate, and Torrento Connect is the remote-access product. This page avoids exact price numbers because they can change.
Torrento is not a torrent client by itself. It is the Android control layer for the Transmission server you already run.
See torrent progress, current activity, and transfer speed updates from Android without sitting in front of the Transmission machine.
Send magnet links, direct torrent URLs, or torrent files from your Android device to the Transmission server you already run.
Pause, resume, and delete torrents from the same Android app you use to monitor them.
Torrento supports multiple saved servers, so Transmission can live alongside qBittorrent or Deluge in the same Android dashboard.
Remote access works best when the Torrento Connect companion runs on the same machine as Transmission, or on another always-on device on the same LAN.
If Transmission already lives in Docker, on a NAS, or on a homelab server, start with the dedicated Docker setup guide for the companion.
Use the Linux install guide when Transmission runs on a headless server, seedbox, or always-on Linux machine.
Use the macOS install guide when you want the companion on a Mac that already sits near your Transmission instance.
