Description

+

+ Torrent Mover is a Bash script designed to automate the processing of completed torrents in Transmission. + It moves or copies downloaded files from a Transmission‑reported download location to designated destination directories on your system. + This enhanced version includes robust locking, advanced error handling, parallel processing, configurable path mapping, improved archive extraction, + and optional file integrity verification. +

Installation

+
    +
  1. Download the Script: Save the script (e.g., torrent-mover.sh) to your desired location (e.g., /usr/local/bin/).
    2. +
  2. Make It Executable: + 
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh
    +
    3. +
  3. Create/Edit the Configuration File: The script expects a configuration file at /etc/torrent/mover.conf. See the configuration section below.

+

Configuration

+

Edit or create /etc/torrent/mover.conf with the following content:

+ 
 # Transmission settings
 TRANSMISSION_IP="192.168.1.100"         # Replace with your Transmission server's IP

-Usage
-Run the script with various command-line options:
-
-Dry-run mode (simulate operations):
-
-/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --dry-run
-Interactive mode (prompt for confirmation):
-
-/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --interactive
-Cache warmup mode (pre-calculate checksums):
-
-/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --cache-warmup
-Debug mode (verbose logging):
-
-/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --debug
-You can combine these options as needed. For example:
-
-/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --dry-run --debug
-How It Works
-Locking:
-The script uses flock on a lock file to ensure that only one instance runs at a time.
-
-Path Translation:
-The Transmission-reported download path is translated into the actual local path using the mapping provided in the configuration.
-
-Torrent Processing:
-The script uses transmission-remote to list and retrieve torrent information. It processes torrents that are 100% complete (based on percent done) and checks if they’ve already been processed.
-
-File Verification & Deduplication:
-Before copying files, the script compares file checksums between the source and destination. It skips processing if an exact match is found and avoids re‑processing directories already handled for previous torrents.
-
-Archive Extraction:
-Archives in the source are extracted into dedicated subdirectories at the destination. The original archive file is kept until Transmission’s seeding criteria are met (and Transmission subsequently removes the torrent).
-
-Seeding Criteria:
-The script checks seeding ratio and seeding time values. When the criteria are met, it instructs Transmission (via transmission-remote) to remove the torrent.
-
-Integrity Check (Optional):
-If enabled, the script verifies file integrity by comparing md5 checksums of the source and destination files after transfer.

Usage

+

Run the script using the following options:

+ +

You can combine options as needed. For example:

+ 
/usr/local/bin/torrent-mover.sh --dry-run --debug
+
+ +
+

How It Works

+
    +
  1. Locking: Uses flock to ensure only one instance runs at a time.
    2. +
  2. Path Translation: The script translates the Transmission-reported path (e.g., /downloads) to the local file system path (e.g., /mnt/dsnas2) using the configured mapping.
    3. +
  3. Torrent Processing: Retrieves torrent info via transmission-remote and processes torrents that are 100% complete. It skips torrents already processed or those with duplicate source directories.
    4. +
  4. File Verification & Deduplication: Compares file checksums between source and destination, and avoids re‑processing if a match is found.
    5. +
  5. Archive Extraction: Extracts archives (RAR, ZIP, 7z) into subdirectories within the destination while preserving directory structure. The original archive is retained in the source until seeding criteria are met.
    6. +
  6. Seeding Criteria: Checks seeding ratio and time. When thresholds are met, the torrent is removed from Transmission.
    7. +
  7. Integrity Check (Optional): Optionally verifies file integrity by comparing MD5 checksums post-transfer.
