You assume alot of knowledge about computer stuff. I managed to figure out everything up until the final step (after hours of struggle!)
I set up Azureus, because I have mac 3.9 which does not allow for Xtorrent. But the final thing is you show a box which says ‘transfers’ and in your illustration one is supposed to select download to ‘same as torrent file’ and watch for torrent files on desktop,etc. However I could not find anywhere the illustrated box that says ‘transfers’ and which has those settings and so on like the box in the final illustration. Where is that??? Where am I supposed to find that???
And then, finally you say “Now whenever you send your IM account that’s logged in at home a torrent file, it’ll automatically start downloading it!” How do you ‘send a torrent file’ to the IM?

[...] You’re at work (or school like me), and you come across a Torrent that you’d like to download. IT lockdown says no, but you know it’ll be done by the time you get back home. IM the Torrent back to your computer and have it automatically downloaded for you. Link: http://torrentfreak.com/a-simple-way-to-remotely-download-torrents-on-the-mac/ [...]

As i wrote the orginal hint on osxhints I want to clear up two things pointed out here:

answering comment;

(2): you do not need to set all your friends/contacts to send you torrents. ou can create a custom group for the account you create. Also bear in mind that for iChat this can be a free account as yout IM account does not runout after 30 days or whatever it is for .mac

So you can limit that to just yourself or the people you want.

(4) *
(5) *
(6) *
(8) **
(9) *
(10) Very good idea.
(11) Lot of people can browser the sites at work but the portsare blocked and they like having jobs : )
(14) torrentflux is not easyier for the non techy person. It requires much knowledge;
a mysql
b php
c staic ip or one of the alternatives.
(15) Also would do fine. I prefer the IM way cause I dont want my Mac Mini under the tv getting all my email.
(16) I use azerus only due to other reasons. It may not be the best but I have my reasons. Transmission is able to look at a folder at intervals for a torrent. goolge your question :)
(17) Good if not *
(18) see (14)

* wont work unless you use something like ssh tunneling to forward your ports to another machine if you are not in controll of the network.

** FolderShare (try it Free) humm therefore it cost money

On a final note simple is always the best for non technical users.
