A homebrew port of Transmission 2.94 for Nintendo Switch with a very basic console UI.

Torrents can be added/managed by a web browser remotely, or with something like Transdroid.

Installation

Extract the release zip to the /switch folder on your sdcard.

Skip the settings.json if you don't want to revert to the release defaults.

User guide

exFAT support

This was tested only with the FAT32 file-system. Using exFAT could lead to DATA CORRUPTION, especially if nxTransmission crashes.

FAT32 limit

FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB, files bigger than this limit are split automatically to a folder matching the original file name, and the file concatenation attribute is applied to the folder when the torrent fully completes.

The file-system is detected based on the firmware version, and splitting is on by default if exFAT is not supported. The split setting can be forced from settings.json by adding entry

"nx-split-files": true[or false]

Notes

Torrents are downloaded by default to the /Downloads folder on the sdcard.
You can customize the settings by editing /switch/nxTransmission/settings.json, or in the browser with the web client. Be warned this can lead to speed and/or stability issues.

Screenshots

Known issues

Enabling DHT could lead to crashes on exit.
Sleep mode and network changes lead to broken pipe errors.
