I've installed a Transmission daemon on one of my Macs. I'd like to have all torrents and magnet links I open on my other Macs to be opened by the program at that-macs-url:9091
via Transmission Remote GUI. How can I make this happen?

. I found out the hard way that a.local
(mDNS) hostname will not work on macOS, due to bugs.Disable prompting for download options in transgui, and use transgui as the default app in your browser to quickly send torrents immediately to your server with a single click and zero context switching. Update: seems that I lost the feature of zero context switching at some point (transgui 5.16.0 on macOS 10.14.4). Transgui now always steals focus when opening magnet links.
* I believe magnet:-links aren't strictly valid URIs.
