Quit when all downloads complete

[jeff526]

I do not see a setting in Transmission to quit the app once all downloads are complete.
I created an Applescript to quit Transmission and added this to the "Call Scrip" preference, but this did not work.
Is this possible?

Yes it is possible to exit transmission when all the downloads are complete.

Take a good hard look at the options for transmission remote. Here are some examples for Debian. You may want to change it for mac use.

This yields the number of torrents that are not done:
transmission-remote -n $USERNAME:$PASSWORD -l | grep -v " Done " | grep -v "^Sum" | wc -l

This, well, exits transmission.
transmission-remote -n $USERNAME:$PASSWORD --exit

good luck,

K.

Ah, I saw this thread too late. Could anybody elaborate on how exactly I would go about setting this up on a Mac? I have no experience with transmission remote and scripting.
