trackersremoverqbt 0.2.0

Automatically removes trackers from active qBittorrent downloads.

TrackersRemover-qBittorrent 🗑️

TrackersRemover-qBittorrent is a Python script that connects to qBittorrent's Web UI and removes trackers from torrents once their download speed exceeds a configurable threshold. This can help improve privacy or reduce reliance on certain trackers.

---

Features

• Connects to qBittorrent Web UI via qbittorrent-api.
• Lists torrents and their trackers.
• Removes non-ignored trackers from torrents actively downloading above a minimum speed.
• Configurable ignored trackers list and minimum download speed threshold.

Installation

Install via PyPI

Install the package directly using pip:

pip install trackersremoverqbt

Then simply run it from the command line:

trackersremoverqbt

or

trqbt

Available options:

# Exemple
trackersremoverqbt --host localhost --port 8080 --username admin --password 123456 --verify-webui-certificate True --min-dl-speed 15 --ignored-trackers "tracker1.example.com" "tracker2.example.com"

--host : qBittorrent Web UI address (default: localhost)

--port : Web UI port (default: 8080)

--username : Web UI username (default: admin)

--password : Web UI password (default: 123456)

--verify-webui-certificate : Verify SSL certificate (default: False)

--min-dl-speed : Minimum download speed in KB/s to trigger tracker removal (default: 10)

--ignored-trackers : Additional list of trackers to ignore (default includes DHT, PeX, LSD)

Or manually

1. Download the script

   Clone this repository or download the TRqBt.py script directly.

2. Set up Python environment

   Make sure you have Python 3 installed (tested with Python 3.12).

   Install the required packages via pip:

   pip install qbittorrent-api rich
   

3. Configure the script

• Open the TRqBt.py file and update the qBittorrent connection settings to match your setup:

  client = Client(
      host="localhost",   # qBittorrent Web UI address
      port=8080,          # Web UI port
      username="admin",   # Web UI username
      password="123456",  # Web UI password
      VERIFY_WEBUI_CERTIFICATE=False
  )
  

• Optionally adjust the minimum download speed (in KB/s) to trigger tracker removal:

  MIN_DL_SPEED = 10  # Minimum download speed in KB/s
  

• You can also customize the list of trackers to ignore (default includes DHT, PeX, LSD):

  IGNORED_TRACKERS = {"** [DHT] **", "** [PeX] **", "** [LSD] **"}
  

• Run the script

  Make sure qBittorrent is running and the Web UI is enabled.

  python TRqBt.py
  

Usage

The script runs in a loop, periodically checking torrents and removing trackers that meet the criteria. It outputs a formatted table of torrents with their trackers and logs removal actions.
