Transmission Bittorent Client

This command-line utility serves to post-process torrents once they are finished downloading. It interfaces with the Bittorent client transmission through a JSON/HTTP interface. The tool can auto-stop torrents and launch a post-processing script.

This component is part of the python library jld.

Usage Example

1. Configure the URI of the Transmission server's WEB interface

trns.py -s SERVER_URI -p SERVER_PORT

2. Use the reportstatus command:

trns.py -a -l -e reportstatus

The above command will auto-stop (-a option) any completed torrent, log the event (-l option) and finally write a .completed file (-e option) in the download directory for each completed torrent.
