It would be practical to have this as an optional checkbox on both individual torrents(for when that one specifically is done), and a master option in preferences(for when all is done, with a dropbox for ratios if wished by the user), most other clients have these features.
#AUTO TRANSMISSION TORRENT#
If one goes to preferences->torrents(it's the first tab you should be greeted with), there's an option saying "call script when torrent is complete", of which you can just specify a script to download(based on whatever other conditions you may want etc).
#AUTO TRANSMISSION HOW TO#
What is irrelevant is seeding in regards to this feature as it doesn't directly affect it in any way, if the user wanted to seed they will at another time, and those that don't, won't.Īnd this feature does partially exist(though not immediately obvious), and seen as rb07's holier-than-thou'ism preaching he omitted how to access this. If the end-user cared about seeding, they will seed. And the details like "I want to upload in the day time, but not over night" are irrelevant. If you don't make the difference clear, then why bother commenting. What you and the others that commented on my post fail to see is that the original post didn't mention upload at all, he only wanted to finish downloading and shut down. I don't think this feature request is unreasonable, it would certainly mean more seeding time on my end since I wouldn't just shutdown and upload/download only when I'm using the computer during the day. I appreciate bit torrent etiquette and follow it to what I think is acceptable. I figured the Op was new to bit torrent or just not explaining clearly, so I was trying to get and idea of what he meant by "finished download" but also I wanted to know if Transmission can distinguish between "finished" in terms of 100% of bits received and "finished" in terms of satisfying seed ratio, if it can't writing a script would prove difficult, if it can, easy.
I've been using bit torrent so long that "finished download" to me automatically translated to completion of downloading and satisfying seed ratio.
#AUTO TRANSMISSION DOWNLOAD#
Next day, user can get on open up transmission and seed, or next time the user goes to download something it will download & seed simultaneously. There is merit to that, but shutting down when a download finishes does not necessarily mean that the download is removed from the list. You are concerned that the op's request is encouraging hit & run behavior. Meanwhile I decided to end my search and say goodbye to Transmission because it's lacking (and apparently refusing to make such an option?) think I get where you are coming from now. Or students who can't afford a 24/7 bill or even something as ISP restrictions. While most people actually just want the feature for the same reason I want it. I've did some searching for this feature in transmission but without any results. With this method I always keep a ratio of 1.3+ (or 130%+), which means I share more then I download. The next morning I fire up my torrent client and keep it running throughout the day. Just sharing isn't worth spending power costs on. So what I basically require of my downloading clients is that they shutdown at night as soon as my downloads are complete. Sharing I don't mind doing at day at all. My upload speed though is a part of my internet connection I hardly need.
I don't like downloading my files at day because I need my download speed for a lot of other stuff. Of course it's less black and white then that but it's just to make my point clear. Uploading is working for me when I'm using the computer. This kind of assumptions make me shiver all over.ĭownloading isn't working for me when I'm using the computer. I just registered to make a stand against this type of thinking. Second: Using it would be 'Hit & Run', which is considered bad torrent etiquette andįirst: Is already there, but obviously you don't know that so forget I ever mentioned it
