GIMP  the reason we can't use transmission.app's prefs is because the cocoa frontend does not have the protocol functions required for the webui to talk to it.

we are still looking for a developer to add those for us.

PEDRO FARDILHA  Seems a really great idea and for a 0.1 version it seems to be going the right way!!

A few questions, if that's ok:

Since I already have Transmission on my Mac, can't Clutch use it's engine and preferences?

This way they would be always in sync.

I prefer to use transmission when I'm at home, but being able to "control" Transmission without having to use VNC would be great.

All in all a really great start!

Keep up the good work.
