Torrents
rtorrent
I usually use rtorrent but setting a download directory to a cifs share with rtorrent does not work. It gives a hash error. I did not try disabling fill space or what not yet on download.
rtgui works great on debian. You do need to add:
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
To the config file for the webserver to communicate with the rtorrent client.
transmission
Transmission seems to work just fine over cifs. I did disable autofill/preallocation though. I did not try it with it on as I never liked that feature anyways.
It does not recieve filesystem updates over cifs for the watch directory. Someone said make a cron script to scan every x mins and send the files to transmission.
Quote:
Use this if your stuck
make a new file script
nano /root/torrentwatch.sh
paste the folllowing text then save (change the /volum1/torrentwatch/ to the path of your folder
#!/bin/bash
for file in /volume1/torrentwatch/*.torrent
do if [ "$file" != "/volume1/torrentwatch/*.torrent" ]; then echo [`date`] "$file" added to queue. >> /var/log/toradd.log /opt/bin/transmission-remote -a "$file" rm "$file" sleep 1 fi done
Save the file then run
chmod a+x /root/torrentwatch.sh nano /etc/crontab
paste this next line then save
* * * * * root sh /root/torrentwatch.sh
now run crond restart
This will add each .torrent file u drop in that directory.
