Ok, here is a step by step guide on how to install and use Transmission.
Installation and connection
1) Go into the Vix feeds via "plugins" find Transmission and install it. Once installed, you should see the plugin listed below.

3) Using your laptop/PC, open up your browser and type in the address shown on your TV screen in the top URL field bar, press return and if by magic, a box shall appear !
Username is root
Password is dreambox

Setting up
4) At the bottom left of the Transmission screen will be a spanner, click to enter in your settings. I recommend reducing your upload speed as this will not only strongly effect your download speed within Transmission, but also the internet speed of all other devices on your network.

5) I recommend at this point to FTP to your Sat receiver, and make a folder within the recordings directory naming it something like "Downloads" A good free FPT app is here > https://filezilla-project.org/
6) In the "torrents" tab, add the new folder you just added via FTP into the "Download to" box

Now change the speed, for this example i have selected 5kbs as the upload as anymore than that some ISP service can get laggy.

In the "peers" tab make your selection and add the following line to the block list & update.http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_...chiveformat=gz

NOW, in the "Network tab" note what port your using and "port forward" that same port in your router. Once succesful, it should say "open" as in screenshot below.

First open up a new tab in your browser.
Find the torrent you want to download. For this will will download Linux mint! http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=144
Firefox right click on the torrent & choose "Copy link location"
Crome right click on the torrent & choose "Copy link address"
Internet explorer err why! use a decent browser "
