What is Transdrone? It is an app made for Android that allows you to manage torrents remotely by connecting directly to your home server or HTPC. You can add torrents, start or stop them, assign labels, set priorities and more. This app supports popular clients like uTorrent, Transmission, rTorrent, BitTorrent 6, Deluge, Vuze, Bitflu, BitComet, Qbittorrent, Ktorrent and Torrentflux-b4rt. Plus Synology, D-Link and Buffalo NAS clients. We have previously published a list of apps to remotely monitor and control torrent, NZB, and other downloads, which included Transdroid. Transdrone is exactly the same as Transdroid but without the built-in torrent search feature. Let's see how to install and configure Transdrone for Android.
How to Install Transdrone?
Transdroid, due to the included torrent search features cannot be installed from Play Store. You can download the Transdroid APK and install it manually. If you don't care for the torrent search feature then go ahead and install Transdrone. Open Play Store on your mobile phone, and search for Transdrone.

Enter a name for your server then choose a server type. On my case, the torrent server is qBittorrent which has port 9091. Please note that the IP and username/password will differ from mine, and you will need to enter your own. Also, you need to make sure that remote management is enabled on your torrent client.
