Adding multiple torrents in CLI/SSH mode

Post by averageseeder »

Hello there.

I'm using raspberry Pi and a 2Tb USB-disk as a seedbox. I run 'transmission-daemon' with remote GUI.
I have unlimited Internet-access and almost unused 2Tb disk so I decided to support some 'dying' torrent (0 or 1 seeders) with my equipment. May be I will get some extra points in Karma 8)

So, the question is - how to add multiple torrent-files (30+) instantly without adding them into remote GUI tool manually (it's very time-consuming)?
I found that transmission holds all the torrent.-files in

~HOME/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents

(in fact it was empty when i listed it, i spent couple of minutes guessing what is happenning, but stopping the daemon solved the problem - torrent.-files appeared)

I tried to place some torrent.-files in this directory and started daemon - it didn't work. Transmission-daemon didn't see these placed torrent.-files, so downloading didn't start.

Oh, thanks a lot. Never heard about it and just finished.
Everything went perfect. Added ~100 torrent instantly. Cool.
