Command-line torrent or alike ?


Hi,

i am looking for a command line torrent where i can:
  • limit upload rate
  • add more then 1 file for concurrent download and queue files that goes over my limit files for concurrent downloads (ie: download 20 files at a time, if you set 30 files for download 10 will be queued up)
  • remove files from the list upon download finished
  • close torrent when no more files for download

Thanks in advance for any recommendation.

there seem to be command line torrent client, however try google to see if it has build in functions you desire. Many of them should be programmable with bash.

You could use rtorrent. I'm not sure if you can do the things you want automatically - I do them manually, but most probably you could tweak the config file to do it automatically.

transmission has two forms :-

1. transmission
2. transmission-remote

One of these will have most of what you want.
