Starting torrent downloads at home, from iPhone, automatically.

[facegarden]

Hey everyone,
I've done a bit of searching and i've seen some solutions, but none of them are ideal.
I just installed Ubuntu linux at home and i'm having a fun time with it. I made my home computer a web server, and it's pretty sweet. It looks like it would be pretty easy for me to make a script that i could pass a torrent URL to that would start torrents, using some address format like:
http://www.sitename.com/torrent_add.php?torrent="www.torrentsite.com/somefile.torrent"

So basically i just need to make it so that when i click on a torrent, my phone goes to web page that contains my server address with that script, with the address of the torrent tacked onto the end.

Does the Safari Download Plugin .plst file have any sort of capability like that? Or would i have to make an actual iphone program to do what i want, and then tell the Safari Download Plugin to open torrents with that file?

I know some people have had success making a javascript bookmark that they have to open before clicking on a torrent, but i would like to avoid even having to do that, if possible. Thanks!

There is a app at the app store named "Jaddu VNC" that you can control your PC with the iPhone from anywhere. Thats what i use. I just connect to my PC with the iPhone and can do anything with my PC from my iPhone (except stream movies and play games).

I'm aware of other ways of doing it, but i want something easy, and VNC is probably the most complex and cumbersome way of doing it. I can already add torrents through the iphone browser, but without copy and paste, it's kind of useless. Some people have already made it so all you have to do is open a page with a torrent, then open a specially formatted javascript bookmark, and then click on the torrent, but i would like to go one step further and eliminate the need for a javascript bookmarklet.

anyway,
I've realized that most of my favorite torrent sites don't use a direct link, so i should probably find a way to download the actual torrent file and then send it to my server. Does anyone know a good way of doing that? Can server-side javascript or php be used to copy a file from my phone to the server (my desktop)?

Then i would just have to make the iphone download a torrent and then run an application that would pass my torrent file to my server. I could probably manage to write an app like that - is there a way to have the iphone open torrents in a specific APP when i click on one? Then i could just make an app that would do what i need. Thanks,

Did anyone make any progress on this?

I can see how to download a file, but not sure how to copy it to the server.

Any Ideas appreciated....
