What is Transmission-Cleanup ?

Transmission-Cleanup is a repo with some short scripts written in Python, that removes completed torrents and those with an error re-adding them again, from a running instance of Transmission (more info at http://www.transmissionbt.com/).

Why did I created this repository ?

Well, I had two main reasons why I've created this repository:

1. I have a server with openmediavault installed and a transmission daemon running on. When the transmission finishes to download the torrents he doesn't remove those torrents from the queue. This is why I wrote the script removedownloaded.py. The second script fixtransmission.py is a fork from nickcova/transmission-cleanup with some bugs fixed
2. It’s been a while since I’ve written something in Python, so I felt like practicing a little bit.

What do you need to use these scripts?

In order to use these scripts you need:

1. A working Linux distro.
2. transmission-daemon should be installed, configured and running.

How to run these scripts?

In order to run these scripts you can choose one from the options bellow:

1. crontab:
   • echo "30 * * * * root python \readlink -f removedownloaded.py`" >> /etc/crontab`
   • echo "0 * * * * root python \readlink -f fixtransmission.py`" >> /etc/crontab`
2. command line:
   • python removedownloaded.py
   • python fixtransmission.py
