I've tried to search the internet for a way to remotely trigger a torrent download from my iPhone, but there wasn't one. So I came up with this solution, which uses two different email accounts (one to send, another to receive), an iPhone, Mail, AppleScript and Transmission.
Note that this was originally published here, but I am the author of the hint. I thought this hint was necessary as the iPhone isn't capable of downloading and attaching torrent files to email messages, as is described in this older hint.
The idea behind this hint is very simple:
Get the script from the original blog post above, or paste it in AppleScript Editor yourself using this code:
(*Transmission via email by Jackson Chung*)
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule Torrent
tell application "Mail"
repeat with theMessage in theMessages
set theText to content of theMessage
set the clipboard to (theText)
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Transmission" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Transmission"
keystroke "u" using {command down}
keystroke (theText)
key code 36
end tell
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms fromMac OS X Hints
