Transmission

I want to be able to run a script when ever a torrent is added to the transmission queue.
I want to use a VPN when downloading torrents and change my proxy settings, as well as check disk space when the torrent is added, this is all done by running a script i made, but to do this every other day ...

If your on the mac, uninstall the one you are using, then download and install a earlier version.

http://download-origin.transmissionbt.c ... n-2.77.dmg

what version of Transmission are you using, I have version 2.80 web client (i Think it was) add adding torrents and downloading was SLOW, like to add a link torrent would take 2 minutes to show up on the web client then for it to start downloading and connect to peers it was like 15 minutes, I ...

I'm sure the easiest to implement would be to add an action to the resumes and add torrent button to run a script, instead of transmission doing polling from the daemon

simple. efficiency.

Why run a cron job every five minutes to check for torrents if I only add 2 - 4 torrents a week.
when code can be added to run a script when I click the "upload" button on the webUI or add a torrent through remote. it is a simple add that make the whole thing easy and efficient ...

WOW!

Thanks Gunzip!

this should work by the looks of it.

Now all we need is Transmission to run in when a torrent is added to the queue!

I will try this out!

accessing your machine is MUCH easier than you think, and application like angryIP or nmap or nessus will scan a range of addresses and open Ports, when he see's your port 9091 is open he tries to connect, since you don't have a passoword (Dumbest Move EVER) he then has access to your machine, your ...

I know that i can change these settings withing the Web UI, the thing is, i don't want to do this every time i add a torrent or a torrent finishes, if there was "code" to run a script when a torrent was "added" to transmission, just like there already is for when a torrent is finished, I could ...

I haven't seen anything in this regards but is it possible to run a script when a torrent is added ?
I know there is on for a torrent ended.

Yes , but is it possible for transmission to run a script when a torrent is added and when a torrent completes?

If so, myself or someone could write a script that goes:

torrent added
turn on DHT and PEX
torrent Completed:
check active torrents
if active torrents is 0 then
DHT and PEX disable

I do not want DHT and PEX turn on when i have no active torrents, I have very limited bandwidth per month, and these 2 services are consuming around 7GB of data per month even though I have no torrents active.

I dont really know how to write the script for transmission, but i was going through some ...

anyway a script or something can be made to stop this traffic if you have no torrents ?

I though DHT was based on the torrents that you had to send Keys to other nodes?

therefore if I have 0 torrents then DHT should not be distributing keys to other nodes.

A reason for this not being in Transmission could be that it is considered bad form to hit-and-run. You download, you seed.

Re: To Applescript pro's: create unrar script does the unrarring for mac. It does lack the callback to Transmission. Take a look at calling transmission-remote yourself ...
