Python script to control torrents from a Transmission server. Deals with ratio sites, hit and runs, and off-peak hours.

You'll need Python 2 or greater. Server details are in the script. Run this from crontab if you want.

During off-peak, it pauses the torrents rather than setting turtle mode. This avoids problems with routers and connections.

There are 5 directories that the script uses:

nopause Putting torrents in this directory stops the script from pausing the torrent

completed This is where torrents end up once they've been downloaded and finished their ratio/seeding

ratio This is the minimum ratio that the torrent must seed for until being moved to the completed directory

rationopause Same as ratio and nopause combined

seed This is the holding directory for ratio torrents

Then there are 5 parameters to change the scripts behaviour

keepseconds Number of seconds to keep the torrent seeding

minratio The minimum ratio to seed the torrent for

concurrent The number of torrents to keep running simultaneously

offpeakstart Starting hour of the off peak time (24 hour clock)

offpeakend Ending hour of the off peak time (24 hour clock)
