Transmission is a file sharing program.
When you run a torrent, its data will be made available to others by means of upload.
Any content you share is your sole responsibility.
An easy way to put .torrent files in a dropbox folder and will be downloaded automatically by Transmission and create .txt files as confirmation :)
Requirements:
A - A DropBox Account
B - Entware from here
C - Transmission from here
1 - Install Dropbox-Uploader, type in terminal:
2 - Fix root account for the cron service
3 - Create torrent-watch script in /opt/etc/cron.5mins/ folder
Paste this lines in terminal
#!/opt/bin/bash
if [ -z "$TR_TORRENT_NAME" ]
then
dropbox_uploader list | grep -iE "^ [F] .+.torrent$" |
sed "s|^ [F] ||g" |
while read item
do
dropbox_uploader download "$item" "/opt/etc/transmission/watchdir/$item"
dropbox_uploader delete "$item"
done
else
echo "Donwload job done at `date`" > "/tmp/$TR_TORRENT_NAME.txt"
dropbox_uploader upload "/tmp/$TR_TORRENT_NAME.txt" "/"
rm -f "/tmp/$TR_TORRENT_NAME.txt"
fi
And make it executable
4 - Stop Transmission to edit settings file
nano /opt/etc/transmission/settings.json
And modify this 2 lines
From:
"script-torrent-done-enabled": false,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "",
To:
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/opt/etc/cron.5mins/torrent-watch.sh",
