This script can help you to remove your torrents. Now you don't need to worry about your disk space - according to your strategies, for each category and tracker, the script will check each torrent if it satisfies the remove condition; If so, delete it automatically.
This smart script supports qBittorrent/Transmission/μTorrent. If you like, star it ✨ :)
- Python 3
That's all. It's a simple but smart script.
git clone https://github.com/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents.git pip3 install pyyaml # The only python requirement we need to install cd autoremove-torrents
In order to satisfactory your needs, you have to learn how to write a configuration file. The grammar is quite easy, for example:
vim ./config.yml
my_task:
client: qbittorrent
host: http://127.0.0.1
username: admin
password: adminadmin
strategies:
my_strategy:
categories:
- IPT
seeding_time: 1209600
ratio: 1
delete_data: true
The script will delete those torrents whose trackers are ipt.com, seeding time is above 1209600 seconds or ratio is greater than 1. Visit Wiki to learn more.
python3 main.py
If you just want to see which torrents can be removed but don't want to really remove them, use --view command line argument.
If you want to check whether there is any torrent can be removed every 15 minutes, the crontab can help you. Look at the example:
crontab -e
And then, add a line at the end of the file (please confirm the path of the python3 and your script):
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents/main.py --conf=/home/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents/config.yml
The conf= indicates the path to the configuration file.
