Add torrents to BitTorrent over the air
Make your life really easy by not moving physically to your download station and adding torrents manually. Hell-of-a tedious task in itself. Rather rely on the great options provided by torrent clients like uTorrent and BitTorrent. It is very much possible to add new torrents from a remote machine be it in your local network or somewhere in the internet, provided your torrent client is running on the machine acting as a download server.
BitTorrent and uTorrent has an option of autoloading torrents from a user-specified folder. If there is any torrent file in this folder, they will get added to the client immediately. You can set your download programs to automatically put .torrent files inside this folder. If you share this folder in your local network with write permission, then other folks in your network can add their torrents by copying torrent files to this folder.
To do this in BitTorrent and uTorrent:
- Open the options/preferences dialog
- Selected Directories on the left panel
- Check ‘Automatically load .torrents from:’
- Write down the path of you auto-load folder

Other torrent clients may have similar automatic loading options, check their help/manuals.
If you want to be able to add torrents from some other location, like from your workplace, then keep this folder inside Dropbox. This way you can add torrents whenever and wherever you have access to Dropbox. So, in Windows your path should look like:
C:\Users\DET J\My Documents\My Dropbox\auto-load
Wanna get more global..well..then make this ‘auto-load’ folder sharable in you Dropbox and your friends can add torrents too along with you.
