April 13, 201313 yr What is the current situation with unRAID and torrents? Are torrent clients easily installed? Which ones are available? I checked the wiki and searched but all relevant threads were from 2009/2010.
April 13, 201313 yr If you're running version 5 there are plugins available. Plugins for version 5 are discussed in the plugin design section of the forum. There is an actively maintained transmission plugin and a utorrent server plugin but I don't know if that is still being maintained. I'm a transmission fan myself on *nix platforms, including Mac OS X.

I checked the wiki and searched but all relevant threads were from 2009/2010. transmission works great, if you combine it with Remote Torrent Adder in Chrome it is a very nice experience.. I add torrents manually ot let sabnzbd add them to transmission. I then leave the downloads in a temporary directory to make sure they are seeded also, after a day or so (or whenever I need them) I move them to the appropriate directories to have sickbeard and/or couchpotato process them..
April 13, 201313 yr utorrent is working. hasent been updated because there has not been a new version of utorrent server for linux.
April 15, 201313 yr Transmission works great but now without a simple flexget plugin or package in renders it almost useless if you use private trackers that want you to maintain a decent ratio

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD I think his point was that on some of the big private trackers torrents are so well seeded, and people have such high upload speeds these days, that it's hard to get much uploading done to keep a good ratio. FlexGet will download stuff automatically so you can seed as soon as a torrent is added and help keep up your ratio. This may not be the case at all private trackers since you don't have a problem. At my UK TV shows private tracker I don't have a problem with this either.

At my UK TV shows private tracker I don't have a problem with this either. I've:- A. Never had this issue, public or private trackers, with the exception of "Scam school"'s torrent feed, and that's simply because nobody downloads it other than the first bunch of people, so I have nobody to seed to. B. Why on earth would you download something with the only intent is to seed? I do seed, I'd just never download just to seed C. If that's your point of view, why not just create a bunch of random 1GB files and upload them to the site, then let everyone else using "flexget" download them and get a super high ratio? D. Ratio master and I have never had an issue, nor have I ever been caught. Although, granted I've only ever used it twice (Bullshit site apparently reset my torrent stats from 1.5TB down & 3TB up down to 0 down 0 up (Only effected me, admin said "tough"), so I left ratio master on for a couple of days to regain my rightful stats). Each to their own I guess, however, I feel it seems pointless. I'll read up on their FAQ though, maybe I'll change my mind. Apparently it's pretty much just like sickbeard/couchpotato/rss reader, my mistake, I thought it just downloaded items the second they were posted in order to seed. I'm an idiot.
April 16, 201313 yr Hehehehehe, I enjoyed the rant regardless Automatic. An idiot doesn't leave his rant in place after realizing he is wrong. That's the sign of a stand up guy.

The torrent will start as soon as the file is available and seed immediately after. I have setup transmission to download torrents and place them in a temporary folder that is not post-processed by sabnzbd, my upload credits are growing fast.. Once a day I move them to the postprocessing folder of sabnzbd manually (could create a cron for that also).
April 16, 201313 yr Flexget is an RSS feed downloader with plenty smarts allowing you to customize what, when, where and how to download your selected content. Think command / script based SickBeard. Sabnzbd is like transmission, the tool actually pulling the stuff down. uTorrent has a built in rss downloader as do many other torrent clients but the Transmission boys have it in their minds their product will never have one so we're forced to use flexget to automate downloads. Without automated downloads, keep a healthy ratio up is tough on man prove trackers.

April 16, 201313 yr Ah .. ok... But that is not a problem when you use sickbeard/transmission or something similar.. The torrent will start as soon as the file is available and seed immediately after. I use transmission. How do you get the torrent to start as soon as a file is available ?

Use sickbeard and/or couchpotato .. it will search in regular intervals.
April 17, 201313 yr Ah, ok. That only works if what you are looking to download can be found on the movie or tv db sites. If you're looking for something not there you need RSS feeds.
