Transmission is a set of lightweight BitTorrent clients (in GUI, CLI and daemon form). All these incarnations feature a very simple and intuitive interface, on top on an efficient, cross-platform backend: https://transmissionbt.com
Transmission is intended to download KA Lite content to Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) from places like https://pantry.learningequality.org/downloads/ka-lite/0.17/content/ — and also to seed content, assisting others.
Transmission is intended to download content like KA Lite to Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB), from places like https://pantry.learningequality.org/downloads/ka-lite/0.17/content/ — and also to seed content, assisting others.
For example, once KA Lite videos and thumbnails are confirmed downloaded, copy them (carefully!) from ``/library/transmission`` into ``/library/ka-lite/content`` as outlined by "KA Lite Administration: What tips & tricks exist?" at http://FAQ.IIAB.IO
Caution
-------
Usage of Transmission consumes significant Internet data and system resources.
Caveat emptor! (That's Latin for "Buyer Beware")
In order to make the latest features available to you as October 2023, Internet-in-a-Box compiles the very latest `Transmission 4.0.4+ <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/commits/main>`_, which painfully can take most of an hour.
We hope that `Transmission 4.1 <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/milestone/13>`_ install options improve soon for 2024 (`#5585 <https://github.com/transmission/transmission/discussions/5585>`_) eliminating this install-time slowness!

Using It
--------
Install Transmission by setting 'transmission_install' and 'transmission_enabled' to True in `/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml <https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it%3F>`_ — carefully choosing language(s) for KA Lite videos you want to download — and then install IIAB. Or, if IIAB is already installed, run as root::
