delete a torrent automatically

Post by kestouf »

Hello
I want to know if it is possible to delete a torrent after a certain number of days. Example has requested that all torrents seed of 7 days is automatically deleted?

Thx

Yes, with the proper script and I'm sure there is at least one example of one on these forums somewhere.

To do it directly from within Transmission? No, not so far.

The unrar and cleanup script I have written uses a delay of 1 hour before removing the torrent from transmission. There is a risk in using a long delay. The reference to a torrent in transmission is by index. For example. the script tells transmission to remove torrent number 5. If transmission is restarted for whatever reason (like say, trashing a magnet ...) the indices change! The script will end up removing another torrent! The longer the interval, the greater the risk of a restart.
