Four free android apps to remotely monitor and control torrent, NZB, and other downloads

I am a fan of remotely controlling the programs running on my server. Recently, I posted articles on apps for monitoring WordPress blogs, Google AdSense, and Google Analytics, and for monitoring and administering Linux servers.

Continuing along the same lines, monitoring and controlling all the downloads, whether they are torrents, NZBs or just a bunch of files from any of the one-click-hosters, would be a lot of convenience too. So below are some apps that I found to be interesting during my research.

TransDroid

Manage your torrents from your Android device with Transdroid. All popular clients are supported, including µTorrent, Transmission, rTorrent, Vuze, Deluge and BitTorrent 6. You can view and manage the running torrents and individual files. Adding is easy via the integrated search, RSS feeds or the barcode scanner. Monitor progress using the home screen widget or background alarm service.

NZB Unity - Living Type
NZB Unity brings together the best applications and services used in the newsgroup community, into one easy to use, integrated interface.

The current release provides connectivity to SABnzbd, Sickbeard, NZBMatrix and CouchPotato (v2).

NZB Unity integrates with the Beta release of Couch Potato 2 (Couch Potato Server). This Couch Potato version is still a beta, therefore functionality is still in development, including the fully featured API. Not all base functionality that is available in the desktop version is currently available through the API yet.

NZB Unity also has the ability to browse or search for NZBs from NZBMatrix.com and add them to SABnzbd.
