    Not much money and bandwidth if you aren't on a metered connection. You can share tens of gigabytes or more on a cheap read only flash plugged into into a $25 single board computer that draws way less than a full PC and can be left sitting there near the router. Just limit its bandwidth on the torrent client and you won't even notice it during online gaming. The client can be as small as the Transmission daemon running headless on one of the many Debian based embedded distros: all control through either the web or from its client: no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. just a small cheap box.

    > Would have to keep my desktop running 24/7 too?

    You could build a seed box out of a old ARM board running the Transmission daemon and a USB key mounted read only to avoid wear; power draw would be just a few watts and total cost could be less than 50 bucks. The desktop would be needed only when adding torrents or changing configuration from its web interface, although Transmission also has remote control apps running on phones and tablets. If the router permits it, QoS rules can be set up on the router so that the seed box can use all bandwidth, although at lower priority than other machines on the LAN, so that it will never clog the network, which comes handy for example with online gaming.

    Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?

    What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.

    I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

    Grab this file. Install Transmission on Mac or Deluge on Win. Optional: run a VPN if you're in the US(mostly) and worried about your ISP sending you a cease-and-desist notice. Open the file using the app you installed. Wait. It should start within a minute or two and download progress will be seen. Speed depends on how many people are sharing it. Any issues, let me know.
