Transmission - Preventing Leechers


I've noticed a lot of this sort of thing in the torrent details.

Code:
d: We'd download from this peer if they'd let us
U: Uploading to this peer
Is there any way to set it up to ban those kind of people? I have no want to upload to people who block downloads.

Yes, I can iptables each IP, but that's a hassle...

I'm unsure of any settings in the torrent software that will do this. But you could monitor that file for those messages, then automatically ban them using IPtables and a ban file....

Some type of Bash scripting would be involved, or PHP scripting on the server side.

Leechers may not deserve the name.

They may be those who are still downloading the torrent but don't have enough of it to share yet.
