QUERY: # of seeders....

[andwan0]

I managed to install Transmission on my D-Link DNS-320 and got it working and seeding my existing torrents. What I used to do in uTorrent was manually checking how many active seeders there are for each torrent. If a torrent had more than, say, 50 seeders then I stop it to save bandwidth for the torrents that had less than 50 active seeders.

In Transmission it only displays the number of peers. I can use Inspector to view the trackers and seeders but they don't appear right (not as far as I remember from uTorrent). Is there anyway to make Transmission display the number of seeders? Would be cool to have a setting to stop torrents based on condition of number of seeders.

i don't see an obvious way either to query the number of seeders using the web interface. but as an alternative you can use the transmission-show utility scrape option as

Code: Select all

$ transmission-show --scrape "file.torrent"

to get up-to-date info on the number of seeders and leechers in the swarm.
