Quickstart

In these examples we use console commands.

  1. torrt cooperates with actual torrent clients (through RPC), so we need to tell it how to connect to them.

    Let's configure Transmission connection (considering Transmission web interface is on 192.168.1.5):

    1
    torrt configure_rpc transmission host=192.168.1.5 user=idle password=pSW0rt

    To get known RPCs aliases use list_rpc command.

  2. Second step is to tell torrt how to authorize into private torrent trackers.

    Let's configure authorization for https://rutracker.org tracker:

    1
    torrt configure_tracker rutracker.org username=idle password=pSW0rt

    To get known tracker aliases use list_trackers command.

  3. Now let's subscribe to torrent updates, say from https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4430338:

    1
    torrt add_torrent http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4430338

    To get torrents registered for updates use list_torrents command.

  4. Configure notifications about torrent updates.

    Let's configure notifications through email:

    1
    torrt configure_notifier email host=smtp.server.com port=25 use_tls=True email=your@email.com user=idle password=pSW0rt

  5. Updates checks for torrents registered within torrt can be done with walk command:

    1
    torrt walk

  6. Use set_walk_interval command to set walk interval in hours:

    1
    torrt set_walk_interval 24
