I’ve been using Transmission forever.
It sits dutifully in the background ready to fetch any torrent downloads that I throw at it.
It never complains, it just works; while I never really pay attention to it.
It turns out that Transmission is a torrent downloader that has more convenient features under its hood.
All the user has to do is dig a little deeper into its Preferences (Command + Comma).
And oh boy, it is rewarding.
Automating The Downloading Tasks
All this time, I stuck with the mundane manual torrenting tasks.
Our first stop after opening the Preferences is the “Transfer” menu.
The “Adding” tab is the place to set the default location of downloaded files.
you’ve got the option to take this automation concept further by utilizing the “Groups” feature.
To set a group, select one color from the available options on the left pane.
The next step is deciding on the filtering criteria for the group.
The last automation option available via Preferences is bandwidth usage automation.
Just tick the checkbox and set the time when speed limit will occur.
All that’s left to do is to enjoy it.
