transmissionscripts 0.2.9

Various scripts to manage transmission

A set of scripts and functions to help managing a [Transmission](https://transmissionbt.com/) instance via its RPC interface.

Included Scripts

Below is a list of the scripts along with simple descriptions of their functionality.

ts_clean.py

This script will scan active torrents for those which qualify to be removed from the client. This tool reads in the config file and uses the tracker rules definitions defined in there to make decisions as to what to remove.

ts_cli.py

A unix shell like interpreter. You can chan commands together similar to using pipes in any standard unix-like shell. Filters and commands are separated by | characters.

The main initial command to use is ls. If you give no arguments it will just list out all torrents, similar to ls on a unix command line listing files.

Some filters available:

• Filter by name: n=prefix_to_search_for

• Filter by tracker: t=tracker_key_prefix

• Filter by status: all, active, downloading, seeding, stopped, finished

Sorting options:

• Sort by: id, progress, name, size, ratio

• Reverse sort

Some Commands available:

• start: Start all the torrents passed to it.

• stop: Stop all the torrents passed to it.

• count: Count the current torrents including filtering.

• any integer: Using any positive integer will limit torrent results to that value.

• print: print the results in a simple list
