Option to change watch-dir interval

Post by Headcase_Fargone »

According to a helpful poster in the Support subforum the interval at which Transmission checks the watch directory is hardcoded for 10 seconds. This seems a bit excessive and prevents the disk on which the directory resides from ever sleeping as it's being accessed constantly.

An option in the config file to set the interval would be great. watch-dir-interval: numeric in seconds, for instance. Personally, I'd like to set it to check once an hour.

If you compile with inotify support for the daemon then there is no polling interval.
