nice one...thanks for sharing

Alternatively and from within the jail

1. Get jail console
   iocage console <<transmission jail>>
2. Since the install script is running in Bash
   pkg install bash
3. cd /tmp
4. wget https://github.com/ronggang/transmission-web-control/raw/master/release/install-tr-control.sh --no-check-certificate
5. Run the install script
   bash install-tr-control.sh
6. From the menu press 6 to set location of the transmission home directory
   /usr/local/share/transmission
7. Press 1 to proceed with the installation
8. Refresh browser to access new interface

Should I install this or hold back?? Not many opions/comment.

Both legacy and new Web interfaces are active and you can switch from one to the other with ease.

The installation process is very simple, I think no one should have any questions

Great script, still works. Altough I would change the transmission folder locatio prior to installing it (option 6 first, than install it with option 1).
The standard transmission path in a jail is /usr/local/share/transmission
