Four ways to start torrent downloads remotely

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Today's cat: starting torrent downloads on your computer from a remote location!

The first two options require 1) your home machine's address and 2) a forwarded port on your router. If you're on a dynamic IP connection like me, a DDNS updating service like Dyndns.org makes finding your machine much easier - it gives you an easy-to-remember, permanent address likemycomputerathome.dyndns.org. Not too sure how to set up port forwarding on your router? Check out PortForward.com for help with just about any brand or model.

If you'd rather not mess around with port forwarding and dynamic dns, you might want to try setting up Hamachi or Comodo Easy VPN on your machines. Either one will provide you LAN-like access to your main computer with minimal fuss (apart from installing and configuring a new program).

Or you could skip the zero-config VPN software and check out the last two options after the break - neither of which require you to know your home system's address or change any router settings.

Now let's get started!

This guide is missing Azureus WebUI / SwingUI, which I have been using for a year or so, as of now. Is quite good because you can connect to it from any computer, although it doesn't provide a lot of functionalities. If you need the best for your Azureus, I suggest you to use AzSMRC, but it needs java installed on the guest computer too.
Oh, and since I'm using Azureus in headless ConsoleUI mode on a Linux d-box, i can connect via SSH to my host, enter the ConsoleUI and add a torrent manually. Soooo nerdy
