Thermopyle Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 I'm writing a Python script to go beyond the limited organization tools in uTorrent. My problem is that I need to move files that are done downloading, but it seems like the API doesn't offer a way to change the download location in uTorrent so that I can keep seeding these files. Is there no way to automate this?
Firon Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 There's no way to move files in the API (yet).
Ultima Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 That said, see this Trac ticket regarding a related feature. There are hurdles to be overcome when allowing remote controlling of download paths.(And yes, I've added a note at the bottom of that thread to point out that there should be an action to move files after they have already been added)
Thermopyle Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Good deal.Thanks for adding the note about moving the torrent location and/or the actual data, Ultima. I'm not sure how excited I am about the ticket being added 10 months ago. It could either be right around the corner, or no one cares much about addressing it.
Ultima Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 It's not so much that no one cares, it's that WebUI is currently on the backburner due to there being bigger fish to fry (namely, uTP).
kiboy6 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Hi...this is exactly the feature I'm missing too...any news on if it will be possible tochose download locationin WEBUI anytime soon?On a related note...(don't know if it would be added to the same ticket...)It would also be very cool if we could chose which files to download from a single torrent when adding the torrent, as opposed to after. A dialog like on the regular utorrent client would be great,but I guess that might be difficult to implement.
Lord Alderaan Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Sadly, no it won't be soon. Nothing to do with how good this idea is. Updating the webui backend is simply a low priority at this time for the devs.However technically it might be possible to create a workaround. Remove torrent, change default download dir, add torrent again. Not 100% sure if this works though.
