Hi, Can you add rtorrent in your project? It would be great! Best wishes.

Another torrent app? Why don't they all use the same api methods?

Dunno, but you can make almost "universal" thing for torrents - it's called in couchpotato and sickbeard torrent blackhole - rtorrent can check folder for new torrent files and add them automaticly so the only thing to be done if you don't want to mess with scgi, is to just download torrent file to selected folder.

The torrent watch folder is used to add torrents. I need a way to determine active torrents, status, down and upload speed etc. That's what api is used for.

True, So is there anyway to add this app ? It's pretty popular, i think it's linux best torrent app.

koper89 avatar Jan 26 '14 13:01 koper89

yes, this can be done. But since there are so many torrent apps, it is hard for me to keep track. Maybe in the future we can add it, but not anytime soon. Unless someone else is willing to work on this.

There's a good python library out there you can use in case you decide to support rTorrent, https://github.com/fuzeman/rtorrent-python. Supports both scgi, http and https

(same one used within CouchPotato)

Definitely and upvote for this. The library @jkaberg pointed to is the best I have been able to find for Python/rTorrent. Right now I'm using ruTorrent which is alright, but it would be nice to have an rTorrent interface in HTPC Manager.

@Hellowlol Is this anything you'd consider implementing? I see you'r verry active in contriubtions/PR's ;)

Not atm. It's has been a while since I used rtorrent I didn't like it then. I'll try again if I like it, I might add it. By looking at your contributions to cp, you would be more then capable to handle his yourself ;) (but thanks for the vote of confidence!). There was a pr for rtorrent on maraschino. I assume there are some code there that can be used in htpc manager

I do python well, JS not so much ;) But I'll see if I can give it a go

jkaberg avatar Oct 23 '14 08:10 jkaberg

upvote. rtorrent is the best linux torrent tool. it is fast, low on resources and very reliable. please add this.
