Settings override for a particular tracker.

Post by dangreen »

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to override torrent settings for a particular tracker.

I use a tracker that mandates users should seed for a particular amount of time as opposed to ratio, and I would like to give it it's own seed time settings.

If anyone know for sure that this is impossible, I will request it as a feature.

Thanks,

Dan

I'm not sure what version of Transmission you're using.
If you're running the daemon, you can do that with Transmission Remote GUI.

You can do that easily with an RSS scraper like Automatic, but of course that is a very specific way of automatically load torrents.

To do the same while loading the torrents manually is not supported outside the Mac OSX application (and I'm not even sure about that, since I don't use it, but I think it is part of the "groups" functionality).

There's also the possibility of a 3rd party tool which implements that kind of pre-processing / filtering. That is probably what maki.ato has in mind, something like a script that checks the tracker and sets the seed ratio... while keeping a record of what is new, and what has been already changed, which is the hard part.

What I suggested is a front-end/client that allows you to manually control those per-torrent settings OP was talking about.
I think there's no point in offering suggestions for every OS and build out there. If OP cares to elaborate - fine. otherwise - just as fine.
