Rtorrent fast resume

Python module that adds fast resume data to torrent files to be used by rtorrent.

Description

This adds fast resume data to torrent files, allowing rtorrent to skip hash checking when a torrent is added. Based on rtorrent_fast_resume and rfr.pl.

Installation

pip install rfr

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use this:

import rfr

tor = rfr.FastTorrent('path_to_original.torrent', 'path_to_downloaded_files')

# Call tor.do_resume() when you're ready to generate the fast resume data
tor.do_resume()

# Before outputting the torrent, you can adjust some of the torrent's params
# using:
tor.set_tor_data_val('rtorrent', 'directory', value='whatever you want')

# After calling tor.do_resume(), you can either save the resulting torrent to a file
# or upload straight to rtorrent via xml rpc
tor.save_to_file(dest)
tor.add_to_rtorrent(rtorrent_xmlrpc_url)
