## Review summary

Torrent Control is praised for reliable magnet-link handling and general usefulness after setup, especially with Transmission, and for its competitive edge over alternatives like Remote Torrent Adder. However, users report authentication/login problems (401 errors and qbittorrent login issues) that block torrent additions, plus occasional reliability and compatibility hiccups with certain server setups. Overall it’s a solid, valuable tool with notable caveats around login and occasional instability.

### Pros

- Generally works well after setup and is easy to use.
- Works with popular torrent clients (notably Transmission) and redirects magnet links to the torrent client.
- Seen as a must-have / very useful add-on, often preferred over Remote Torrent Adder.
- Custom URL matching is a nice feature.

### Cons

- Authentication/login issues prevent torrent additions (e.g., 401 errors or qbittorrent login problems) reported by multiple users.
