Configuration

If you don't want to pass those options on the command line, you can work with a config file to pass all or just some of the following:

oauth_token = 'XXXXXXXX'
keep_folder_structure = 'true'
root_watch_dir = 0
incomplete_dir = '/download/incomplete'
aria2c_secret_token = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
complete_dir = '/download/complete'
rpc_url = 'https://example.com:6800/rpc'
watch_folders = ['isos', 'news', 'videos']

For windows, directories must follow windows' directory formatting, ie.

incomplete_dir = 'C:\\download\\incomplete'
complete_dir = 'C:\\download\\complete'

crontab

Run the download script on an interval so you don't miss out on any of your files

*/10 * * * * putio-download --config ~/myconfig.ini >> ~/putio.log 2>&1

To prevent multiple instances of putio-download from running, consider using a wrapper script like the following:

#!/bin/bash
COUNT=`ps -ef | grep putio-download | grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ $COUNT == 0 ]; then
    putio-download --config ~/config.ini
else
	echo "already running..."
fi

If you do use a script like this, make sure to update the crontab to point to it
