This is multi-purpose torrent plugin, so far I have completed
* Management of Transmission instances on several hosts:
** Pause, resume, remove torrents.
** Show done/total sizes and up/download speeds.
** Options panel includes Pause all and Resume all.

* Manipulation of host list.
** You can also enter passworded Transmission instances in the standard URL format: http://user:pass@host:9091
* Manipulation of feed list
* I have successfully forked pure-python BitTorrent 3, cleaned up the code and integrated it to my plugin. Basic functions seem to be working. Will update Debian package ASAP.
