Unable To Add Torrent Remotely

[jackbauer 0]

Hi All

 

Apologies if this is a silly question as I am new to BItTorrent. I have downloaded and installed Bittorrent onto my PC and ticked the box allowing remote access. When accessing the remote web URL ,now however I am unable to add new torrents. I can copy the torrent links and select the plus sign to add it but I don't see it under my new downloads. 

 

Do I need to take any steps before downloading like port forwarding? Or firewall changes?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you using the add from URL or the other link?

Hi Harold

 

I am copying the torrent link and attempting to add it, hope this makes sense.

 

Thanks

Which button in the web interface are you using?

The + sign at the bottom left corner which then prompts me to add the torrent url.
