That is good choices 1.80,1.81,1.82 are buggy. Today Transmission just released 1.83

1.80 working well on my v1 -

BTW - thanks to avberk for keeping trans maintained for my white angel

Hi there, my intentions were to move finished download (once when finished and seeding) to new location. My programming skills are kind of limited

) but I've tried (with googling and using part of other script) and I've prepared small script if anyone is interested. It took me 15 minutes and it is sufficient for me for now.

If you can advise on some improvements, deficiencies or other way to do it I am willing to learn something.

Works with Transmission 1.61

LIMITATIONS:
1) This will work only for one completed torrent with status Seeding for each execution. TODO: Repeat it until all torrents are moved-should be easy.
2) If torrent is seeded again from new location it might be a big problem

TODO: Fix it, but I have no idea how to.

SETTINGS:
I've set up this to stop and move data to different location (I can start seeding manually or delete torrent afterward). This can be adjusted by options in the last line.

USE:
cron (repeat every x minutes/hour/daily)

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# The absolute path to and including the transmission-remote binary
TRANSREMOTE=/opt/bin/transmission-remote

# The absolute path to where you want your completed torrents moved to
DESTDIR=/mnt/data/_downloads

# Find the first completed torrent
TORRENTID=`$TRANSREMOTE -l | sed -n '/Seeding/{p;q;}'|sed -e 's/...%.*//'|sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//'`

if [ -z $TORRENTID ]; then
  echo "Nothing is finished!"
  exit
fi

# Stop the torrent and move data to the new location
$TRANSREMOTE -t $TORRENTID -S --move $DESTDIR

Update:
I've found easier way to do some stuff and solved all TODOs

Any ideas or questions are welcomed.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# The absolute path to and including the transmission-remote binary
TRANSREMOTE=/opt/bin/transmission-remote

# The absolute path to where you want your completed torrents moved to
DESTDIR=/mnt/data/_downloads

# Find completed torrents
SEEDCOUNT=`$TRANSREMOTE -l | awk '/Idle|Seeding/'|wc -l`
TORRENTS=`$TRANSREMOTE -l | awk '/Idle|Seeding/'|awk '{print$1}'`

if [ $SEEDCOUNT = "0" ]; then
   echo "Nothing is finished!"
   exit
fi

for i in $TORRENTS
do
    LOCATION=`$TRANSREMOTE -t $i -i|awk '/Location/'|sed -e 's/  Location: //'`
    if [ $LOCATION = $DESTDIR ]; then
        echo "Files are already there"
     else
        # Stop the torrent and move data to the new location
        $TRANSREMOTE -t $i -S --move $DESTDIR
    fi
done

Im sorry for the stupid question... but where am I suposed to copy this code?

**bugmenot** · 12-08-2009, 18:45

I extended your script a bit. Also using some stuff from other sources, particularly the transmissionbt-wiki.

It now does the following:

-Remove torrents that are finished and done seeding (or just sit around idle).
-Move completed torrents to download dir.
-Add new torrents from torrent-folder, given there is space left in the dl queue.

Did I forget anything?? Without the need to seed, this would be simpler, but we wanna be got bt-citizens after all...

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# *************
REMOTE="/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote"
DESTDIR=/media/Finished
TORRENTDIR=/media/Torrents
MAXACTIVE="6"
USER=xx
PASS=xx

# *************

# Clean up after rsync
find $DESTDIR -mindepth 1 -type d -empty | xargs -I {} -i rmdir "{}"

# Remove Finished and Inactive
FINISHED="$($REMOTE -l -n $USER:$PASS | tail --lines=+2 | grep 100% | grep "Stopped\|Idle" | awk '{ print $1; }')"
for i in $FINISHED; do
	echo Torrent No. $FINISHED is finished and inactive.
	LOCATION=`$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i -i | awk '/Location/'|sed -e 's/  Location: //'`
	if [ $LOCATION = $DESTDIR ]; then
		echo "Files have been moved already. Just deleting."
		$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i -r
	else
		echo "Moving No. $i to download-folder."
		$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i --move $DESTDIR && chmod -R 777 $DESTDIR && $REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i -r
		echo Removed $i from queue.
	fi
done

# Move Finished
FINISHED="$($REMOTE -l -n $USER:$PASS | tail --lines=+2 | grep 100% |  awk '{ print $1; }')"
for i in $FINISHED; do
	echo Torrent No. $i is finished.
	LOCATION=`$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i -i | awk '/Location/'|sed -e 's/  Location: //'`
	if [ $LOCATION = $DESTDIR ]; then
		echo "Files have been moved already"
	else
		echo "Moving No. $i to download-folder."
		$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -t $i --move $DESTDIR && chmod -R 777 $DESTDIR
	fi
done

# Add new torrents and delete source file.
ACTIVE="$[ $($REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -l | grep -v Stopped | wc -l) - 2 ]"
echo $ACTIVE active torrents.
if [ $ACTIVE -ge $MAXACTIVE ]; then
	echo Queue full.
	exit 0
else
	until [ $ACTIVE = $MAXACTIVE ] || [ $(ls $TORRENTDIR | wc -l) = 0 ] ; do
		ADD="$(find $TORRENTDIR -name '*'.torrent | head -n1)"
		$REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -a "${ADD}" &> /dev/null
		rm -f "${ADD}"
		echo "Added "${ADD}""		
		ACTIVE="$[ $($REMOTE -n $USER:$PASS -l | grep -v Stopped | wc -l) - 2 ]"
		echo $ACTIVE active torrents.
	done
fi

exit 0

I'm still testing this. use at your own risk.

Hi guys,
I´ve tried both scrtipts, but no one works.
First probably doesn´t work, because transmission uses password. The longer script give me this error codes:

Code:

Any idea whats wrong?

I have installed transmission according to Wengi's great tutorial and it has worked fine since then. However now I would like to run it as non-root user.
How should I do this? Should I ipkg install sudo? Should I use some configuration option in transmission's settings.json? Or some other way?

Oh, and one more thing I haven't figured out in Transmission: How can I set upload rate for a single file? In the web gui there's only option for global settings. And transmission-remote doesn't seem to have any options for this either. I know the OS X version has this function.
(And yes I've asked the transmission forums too... no replies

)

there is no such thing as sudo on the router

but I guess you've set up an account with adduser?
when you assign the user to a group that has rights to run it, it might work?

never tried it really, one user is enough

Just for your information:

New transmission 1.80 is available with support for magnet links and trackerless torrents (see http://transmissionbt.com
Unfortunately this version frequently crashes - in my case it survives from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
My recomendation is to stay with older version until fixes are made

**maslokm** · 24-01-2010, 22:55

There are patches to rtorrent that add magnet links support.
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-com...t-link-support

Maybe somebody compile it for Oleg.

**gusman** · 26-01-2010, 16:22

Additionally new versions (1.80 1.81 1.82) have speed problems: downloads are very slow

**gusman** · 30-01-2010, 12:13

Transmission 1.83 still crashes. Links to older transmission releases are available here: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=17957
