User reviews

Nice extension, but what it misses is that 'right click' menu option does not work with 'torrent links' (it seems like working only with magnet links).

Nice extension ! Love the fact that you can control multiple transmission servers using the extension that makes things so much simpler for me. However, it's missing a very important feature. When adding a torrent using the right click menu, if it's from a website that is secured with a session, it is sadly not working. The extension gets a 403. Not sure if this is something achievable using MV3 though. If it is, would be great even if you need to give the permission to access the data from a specific website.

Please update so that it can be saved in other directories as well.
