How to schedule torrents on a Web only transmission?

[aussiebuddha]

Hi all.
I have transmission installed on my DNS-323 Nas device which i can only access thru telnet or clutch web interface.
How can I configure transmission so it can put on hold my downloads until i'm on off peak time?

thanks

Do you have cron installed?

If you do, then its as easy as adding a couple of cron entries... I use these to limit network traffic during the day and open things up at night:

Code: Select all

30 22 * * 1-5   transmission-remote -n adm-usr:adm-password --downlimit 250 --uplimit 25 >/dev/null
30 07 * * 1-5   transmission-remote -n adm-usr:adm-password --downlimit 50  --uplimit 10 >/dev/null

I have different entries for the weekend but you get the idea, the 1-5 means Monday through Friday.

Also the

-n user:pass

parameter is only needed if you enabled authentication, otherwise just delete it.

that's a nice workaround. thanks for that.
Are there any plans to include this feature in clutch eventually?

The eventual goal would be to reach complete feature parity between the web Ui and the other clients.

Development on the web ui is going slowly right now because its developer is currently awol...

Thanks, I wish i could help, but no idea how that's done.

How about entering settings manually in the settings.json? would this work?
I tried it myself and it didn't work, so i was wondering whether it was a type or just not possible at all.

Thanks. I will try to figure out how cron works.

monkeylove:
You're looking at a very old thread, Transmission has now an optional schedule to change speeds.

In the Web interface (a.k.a. Web client) open the Preferences (the little wrench icon), go to Speed tab, and set the alternative speeds, then enable the schedule, etc.

I didn't notice that. Thanks!
