Dispatch for Transmission, created by a community project, provides in-browser remote control for the Transmission BitTorrent client. It captures magnet links and .torrent URLs and sends them to a configured Transmission server without loading the full web interface. The extension supports authenticated RPC connections and single-click adding for quick tasks, aimed at users running Transmission on NAS devices, seedboxes, or remote servers who want lightweight browser-based management.

Shows live transfer stats and torrent progress in the toolbar

The extension reports real-time download and upload speeds directly from the browser toolbar and displays per-torrent progress inside a compact popup. That live surface gives one-glance visibility of active transfers without switching tabs, and the popup lists individual torrent percentages and status. Real-time monitoring inside the toolbar is the visible control point for quick checks during browsing sessions.

Handles multiple servers and authenticated remote connections

Dispatch supports multiple Transmission server profiles, letting users switch between instances hosted on different machines. It accepts username and password credentials for password-protected RPC endpoints and exposes remote management actions such as:

• Pause, resume, and remove torrents on the selected server
• One-click submission of magnet links and .torrent URLs to the active profile

A lightweight alternative that depends on a running Transmission RPC endpoint

The extension is designed as a slim client rather than a full web UI substitution; it requires a running Transmission instance with RPC enabled and does not perform downloads locally. It works on Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, and its minimalist design reduces the need to keep the full Transmission web interface open while retaining basic remote control and status visibility.

A practical browser control for users who manage remote Transmission servers

Dispatch is a pragmatic option for administrators and hobbyists who prefer compact, in-browser oversight of remote Transmission instances, offering quick status checks and basic controls from the toolbar. The trade-off is a pared-down control surface compared with the full web interface, so users who need deep session management should keep the full Transmission UI available alongside the extension.
