Fair enough, you might want to have a look at TorrentFlux then. It's a PHP torrent client. It was lightweight enough to run on my old Athlon server and from what I remember it was fairly easy to setup. Otherwise, I guess Transmission might be your only hope.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Remote start torrents
Another thumbs up for torrentflux here... plenty of guides for setting it up... worked nice. But another alternative is to simply ssh into your box and use rtorrent. The only drawback is that you need to either have the .torrent stored locally or know its location to enter as url when specifying a new torrent to start. But thats what I use. Worse coming to worst, I just VNC's into my box at home so I could use the browser there to find/store torrents.

Used Transmission myself, but perhaps this might help? http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=8t=6003 You'd probably have to forward tcp port 9091 on your router to the IP address of the machine running transmission. Actually, just fired up transmission on my machine (albeit without any torrents running), opened Firefox and entered: http://localhost:9091 and sure enough it comes up with the Transmission web interface. If course you'll need to replace localhost with the IP address of your machine when you're using your Android phone on your internal network, or if you forward the ports on your router to the IP address of your machine you're using for Transmission then you'll need to either enter the internet side IP address of your router (a static IP address from your ISP can be helpful in this respect) or setup something like Dynamic DNS on your router so you can assign a memorable domain name to your network from the internet. (It might help to look at http://portforward.com for instructions on how to forward ports and www.dyndns.org for more information about Dynamic DNS).

If it's cable then the modem should be automatically giving the internet side IP address to the router so you'd only have to setup port forwarding on the router itself.
