Transmission

Interesting. I will try to get this installed on my NAS box and report back...

As far as I know there is no 'turtle mode' via the web interface. I would love to see this implemented though...

Also, I vote that 'turtle mode' become the official name for Transmission's speed limit.

In fact, every single post in the RSS feed is dated 31 Dec 2007.

Wonky I tell you!

Yes! I have always had this problem using Google Reader. Never get any new items showing up in the feed.

Something's wonky with the dates, the latest post about 1.41 beta 2 has the date: 31 Dec 2007 15:32.

Sweet, thanks for this.

I had a similar mod from somewhere else a few versions back and I've been missing it since. I hope this can be added as an option (or even default) in the main version.

Tried it, when I click the bookmarklet then a .torrent link it thinks for a little while then sends me to http://example.com:8081/clutch/remote/index.php?action=addTorrentByURL&param=iphone/i.html and I get a 404.

I assume that it's supposed to send me to a success page (i.html) which doesn't exist ...

I had a dig around in the Clutch scripts and I think I found that adding a torrent url submits a form using the format:

http://example.com:8081/clutch/remote/index.php?action=addTorrentByURL($_GET['torrent_url'], null)

So we need to change the ($_GET['torrent_url'], null) part to a torrent file ...

OK, I thought Clutch played by its own rules since it ignored the folders specified in the .conf file and wouldn't play nice with transmission-watchdog. But as I said, my understanding of these things is limited, I just like to tinker around with them.

I got the original code here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071215111252241

I can post my modified version over the weekend if you like. My version shows a confirmation page offering a link to Clutch, plus it's modified to use wget instead of curl (curl doesn't work on my NAS ...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try over the weekend. I thought that transmission-remote was incompatible with Clutch though, but I may have imagined that.

I have a JS bookmarklet on my iPhone that, when activated, sends the download link for a torrent to my Transmission box where a PHP script downloads the torrent file and passes it to Transmission. It works really well, but it would be great for this functionality to be built into Transmission/Clutch.

Thanks for the info. I don't think you have grasped just how basic my programming knowledge is ;-) - I'll have a go at modifying the python script, but I am an absolute beginner as far as python is concerned so we'll see what happens...

I take it that stopping/moving completed torrents is not ...

I'm interested! Very interested! transmission-dw could add a lot of the functionality that I feel is missing from the running transmission in daemon mode, especially stopping/moving completed downloads. I already use pytvshows for automatically downloading from feeds.

I have been looking into ...

I was excited about this until I realised that my Synology box doesn't have inotify.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I wasn't sure whether this should go under Clutch or Transmission...

I just purchased a Synology NAS box which I am going to be using for BitTorrent, it comes pre-installed with a 'meh' BT client, but luckily it can be modded to run transmission-daemon and ...
