================= Deluge NetWatcher2

NetWatcher2 is a plugin for the Deluge bittorrent client that reduces the download speed of torrents to a set value if there is someone connected to the same network.

This is an fork of rikpg's NetWatcher plugin

Features:

• Set a custom ip list.
• Set the check rate.
• Set the download rate.
• Option to enable logging to a file.

Usage

Ip Addresses

Insert a list of comma separated ip addresses in the Ip Addresses field, like 192.168.1.45, 192.168.1.128, 192.168.1.149, and these addresses will be cheked every X minutes.

Working rationale as follow:

• At least one ip address is on-line => pause all
• All the ip-addresses are off-line => resume all

Note: The ip-addresses status is checked through ping requests.

Custom logging

It's also possibile to log the NetWatcher2 activity into a file.

Other than knowing what happened when we weren't at the computer, the use of this feature combined with a Dropbox-like service makes it very easy to monitor torrents status without having to access the web-interface.
To support this combined usage the log extension is .txt.
