Adding torrents doesn't work even with download locally option - maybe because URL is unconventional.

I loved transmission on my mac, but this app won't work on my chromebook. It says no response every time i attempt to add a file or magnet link. if this could be resolved i would be a huge fan...

Having to right-click magnet links and select "send to Transmission" is a dealbreaker when other extensions let me just click the link.

Works when using public sites, but does not send to remote client from a private site.

I would really like this to work, but it does not like my IP. I get reoccurring messages saying could not connect. Any help out there?

Would be good if, when deleting torrents, it has the option to either remove the torrent, or remove + delete downloaded data.

Works ok. It would be nice if it actually caught magnet:// urls, instead of letting chrome pop up the "external protocol request" dialog box.
