Check if torrent exist before adding

Post by Prototype »

Transmission checks to see if a torrent exist before adding it rejecting the torrent if it's a duplicate. It'd be great if there was a way to check if a torrent already exist through the command line to make scripting more intellegent rather than trail-and-error.

It can be done with the current implementation, just use the torrent's hash as an identifier (i.e. extract the hash from the .torrent file, or the magnet link, use transmission-remote to check if that hash already exist...)
