Transdroid remotely controls torrent downloads from your Android handset

iPhone users have been told we aren't allowed to play with a nasty little application like Drivetrain, which remotely controls transmission downloads. We might be using it to control illegal download on another machine, after all, and Apple doesn't want us getting into trouble.Android users, however, are free to install Transdroid - a handy little app that interfaces with Transmission, uTorrent, Deluge, and rTorrent. In addition to pausing, resuming, and removing torrents, Transdroid can also add new torrents via an IsoHunt powered search (or by providing a URL).
There's also a handy dashboard widget so you can monitor activity without launching the app itself.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Check out Torrent-Fu, let's walk around in WalMart or Blockbuster, scan barcodes of movies with your Android phone, then it finds the seed, and initiates download to your home computer;

...Hell will freeze over before you can do this with anything besides an Android phone!

I'm actually able to control Transmission from the iPhone using the web interface, it's got a nice iPhone-specific layout. I just made an icon shortcut to my transmission web server, and it works pretty nicely. Granted, a native app would be nice, and I have to login every time I open it, but it's a decent workaround for the time-being.

Hello. Question I have is this:
- what do i need to do to get this up and running "transdroid" so I can use it. I have a 6 machine home network, in which I'm currently adding the server ip as the machine I use for the torrents. Do I just add the inranet ip or the internet ip for which my system is using. Is there any way i can find the exact way to get this up and running, via a guide of some sort?
Thanks in advance!
Julian
