Add an option to 'remove torrent when finished'
it's kinda silly this hasn't been implemented yet.
once a torrent has reached its desired share ratio there should be a checkbox to remove it automatically...otherwise it just sits there taking up space and cluttering the downloads area..
I would say this is against "torrent netiquete". This is a feature that shouldn't be implemented. But this is just my opinion.
Can you please describe more detailed a use-case where this feature would be helpfull?
Maybe this is related #111?
When a torrent is "finished", it is no more seeded. So it can be removed. Of course this after the Seed ratio has been reached.
@buhtz when you have a couple dozen torrents seeding, and they reach the desired ratio.
there is no need to keep them in torrent list cluttering up the interface.
It is also an issue for people whose isp is shitty about seeding(even legally)
I now use a torrent-done.sh function executed at the end of the download. But this should a simple option in transmission
This option would be obsolete when the seedtime option is implemented.
It's simply a special case where seedtime = 0, instead of maybe an hour or a day or week.
The seedtime issue is tracked here: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/111
EDIT: Coming back after many months, I realize this feature request here has nothing to do with seedtime. This feature request is about autoremoving torrents or data.
This might be possible with a setting like
"autoremove": {true,false,withData}
I now use a torrent-done.sh function executed at the end of the download. But this should a simple option in transmission
Mind sharing your script here?
@xelra This could be connected with seed time. Something like: autoremove = after download complete, false, with data, after 1h of seed (or 1 day of seed etc). In my opinion seedtime and autoremove should be related.
@h0ek Yes, you're right. If the seed time feature were implemented, you could simply set seedtime=0 and then torrent completion would invoke immediately.
In settings.json you would put
...
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/path/to/script.sh",
...
and the sript could look something like
#!/bin/bash
SERVER="localhost:9091 --auth user:pass"
transmission-remote $SERVER --torrent $TR_TORRENT_ID --remove-and-delete
@rodibin-at-placemaildotonline If you use this script right now, it's still gonna work, but torrent completion will only invoke either after the targeted ratio or seed-idle-time has been hit. I'm not sure whether it would work, if you set seedratio=0.
The $TR_TORRENT_ID variable is an environment variable set by transmission, when calling the script.
I'm also interested in it. But with deletion after X time. Why this is helpful? Some trackers has 4 days of minimum share, and the server space is limited. So that would be a way of share during 10 days (for example) and automatically clean torrents after share for some time in order to free its space to allow new ones be downloaded
@xeviff On linux you could use sleep or, even better, cron to schedule some actions.
