February 12, 201412 yr Hey there I am looking for a suitable torrent tool for my unRAID. First I gave Transmission once again a shot. But as I remembered it is not really a sophisticated tool for handling torrents especially if you are on multiple private trackers and you want to maintain your torrents for a longer time period. Or do you guys use Flexget to accomplish this? E.g. implementing watch directories and specifying download destination in Flexget for Transmission? Is this possible? Yesterday I fixed the existing utserver plugin and started using it: https://github.com/luksak/utserver But quite soon I realized that it did not provide me with the options I needed (mainly RSS feeds and watched folders option to specify a download destination for each of them). Does anyone disagree with me? Did I miss features utorrent provides? I just stumbled across Deluge but I don't know it yet. Is this what I am looking for? So I came to the conclusion that rtorrent might be better suited for me and I would like to build a plugin for it. Since this would be my first unRAID plugin I would like to get some guidance. Can someone point out what is needed to accomplish this? Maybe some more specific questions: Do I just download the source of libtorrent and rtorrent? How do I find out what dependencies these packages have? How do I host rtorrent? Where do I store what (packages, settings, application data, downloaded data)? Does there need to be a interface integrated in the webUI? Please help me on this. I think there are quite a few other people looking for a decent torrent tool and would appreciate a nicer solution.
February 13, 201412 yr I agree rtorrent is awesome. I do not know how to develop a plugin however. I plan on just using a VM to host rtorrent in Unraid 6.
February 13, 201412 yr Transmission is actually really full featured. The problem is their web GUI sucks. If you're using a desktop OS to remotely interface with the client it's great though. Check out Transmission Remote GUI. There are versions for OS X, Linux and Windows. It basically gives you a full featured torrent client. https://code.google.com/p/transmisson-remote-gui/
February 13, 201412 yr utorrent does offer RSS feeds and you can configure where each of them is downloaded to (there is a "save in:" field) - you can also specify a Label for each RSS Feed download.
February 13, 201412 yr Author By now I tend to start using Deluge. It seams to be a very powerful torrent client with a nice webUI. There seems to be progress on getting it running here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24886.0 utorrent does offer RSS feeds and you can configure where each of them is downloaded to (there is a "save in:" field) - you can also specify a Label for each RSS Feed download. The most important feature for me is this: RSS feeds and watched folders option to specify a download destination for each feed and each watched folder. This is supported neither by transmission nor by utorrent neiter in the webUI nor in the desktop application of both clients. Or am I getting something wrong? If so, please point out how to do it.

It doesn't even support RSS feeds.

Why do you say it doesn't support RSS and destination folder - IT does - see attached screenshot.

Right? You are using a different version than I am. I am using the utserver plugin I recently fixed with the latest utorrent version: https://github.com/luksak/utserver This doesn't support RSS feed destinations.
February 14, 201412 yr Does the linux uT server suffer from any crap and spam.? Obviously it cant have bundled malware (yes uT for windows now ships with malware that hijacks browser settings and installer software to try and stop you changing them)... full on hijack malware My worry is that the closed source Linux binary is from the same people who think malware and partnering with yahoo is a good idea
February 14, 201412 yr Author No idea. How would you find out that this is the case? Does anyone know more about this? Anyhow. As utorrent doesn't meet my needs (as far I know) it is not a possible candidate.
February 15, 201412 yr No idea. How would you find out that this is the case? Does anyone know more about this? Anyhow. As utorrent doesn't meet my needs (as far I know) it is not a possible candidate. google hasn't revealed anything. However it seems that they hevaily moderated discussion of it on their forum and then changed forum software so all google links are dead and expired the cache. I am sure it is fine its just uT people being uT people... they have a long track record of saying one thing and doing/meaning another right from day 1
February 15, 201412 yr Author So, back to the actual topic... Does anyone disagree that Deluge is the best suited torrent client for me? If not can someone point out exactly how to achieve these two requirements: - RSS feeds with download destination directories for each - watched directories with download destination directories for each If one can provide me with instructions on how to achieve this, I would be very grateful.
February 16, 201412 yr Deluge is a great piece of software. Used it in the past but now I just use Transmission. There is a topic about deluge here --->http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24886.msg290968#msg290968 kryspy
February 17, 201412 yr Author Kryspy: Ok, but does any of the two meet my requirements in combination with flexget? I assume you are using Transmission with Flexget? Could you tell me how I can get Transmission behave the way I described? Yes, this is where I am seeking support to get Deluge up and running on my unRAID.
February 22, 201412 yr Author Please help me out here... I would be very thankful for advice on getting this running.
February 23, 201412 yr After much hassle and a lot of trial and error, I have managed to get the deluge daemon running on unRAID 5.0.5. I have not yet proven whether it can do anything useful! First, I will try to retrace my steps in order to determine the essential procedures.
February 24, 201412 yr Author Wow, this would be wonderful! Maybe you should post this in the other thread about Deluge: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24886.0 Did you also manage to install Flexget?
