What Remote is

TorrentMax Remote is a browser dashboard for the desktop client. The desktop stays in charge of the torrent engine and the files. The browser sends authenticated commands and receives status updates.

• The Windows app works without an account. Remote is the only feature that needs one.
• Each desktop is paired separately. Pairing produces a one-time code that expires after ten minutes.
• You can remove a paired computer from the dashboard later.

Enable Remote

1. Open TorrentMax on the Windows computer that is running the transfers.
2. Press Ctrl + , or choose the Settings control in the app.
3. Open the Remote tab.
4. Choose Enable. The app connects out to the service and shows a pairing code under Pair this computer.

If the app says the server could not be reached, check the internet connection and try again. Remote uses an outbound HTTPS connection, so you do not need to open a router port or create a firewall rule for it.

Pair the desktop

1. Open torrentmax.cc.cd/remote in any modern browser.
2. Sign in, or create an account with an email address and a password of at least 12 characters.
3. Open Devices in the dashboard.
4. Under Pair a device, enter the code shown in Settings → Remote.
5. Choose Pair device. The app should change from waiting for a pairing to showing the account and device details.

The code is single-use and expires after ten minutes. If it runs out, use New code in the app. Do not send the code to anyone; it grants control of that desktop to the account that redeems it.

Once pairing succeeds, the dashboard remembers the computer. Future browser sessions only need the account sign-in, not a new pairing code.

What the browser can do

Remote controls the same queue you see on the desktop. It is not a second downloader. A command that succeeds in the browser has reached the desktop client, so the desktop must be running to receive it.

How the connection works

The desktop opens an outbound HTTPS connection to TorrentMax. That is why there are no ports to forward and no inbound hole in your router. The relay authenticates commands and passes status between the browser and the app.

Torrent metadata, file names, peer and tracker details, RSS entries, settings, and command results can pass through the relay while Remote is paired. Your downloaded file contents do not. The relay cannot read the files on disk or drive the torrent engine directly.

Remove access

To disconnect the browser and the desktop, turn Remote off in Settings → Remote. To remove the pairing record, open Devices in the browser dashboard and choose Unpair for that computer.

If you are signed in on a browser you do not trust, sign out of the dashboard and change the account password. Changing the password signs out every browser session. The account password reset link expires after 30 minutes and can only be used once.

Removing a device stops future commands from that pairing. It does not delete the torrent files on the desktop.

If pairing fails

• No code appears. Make sure Remote is enabled and the app can reach the server. An error in the Remote panel should name the failure.
• The code expired. Use New code and enter the new one within ten minutes.
• The dashboard says there are no devices. Confirm you are signed in to the same account that redeemed the code, then refresh Devices.
• The desktop shows offline. Open TorrentMax. Remote does not run while the desktop application is closed; close-to-tray keeps it available when the window is hidden.
• Your browser cannot load the dashboard. Try another browser or network. Corporate networks and DNS filters can block the site.

If the same step still fails, send support the app version, Windows version, the exact message you see, and the approximate time of the attempt. Never send your password, a reset link, or a live pairing code.
