Moshe Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi,I'm trying to get the full path of files being downloaded through a torrent.My problem is, listing through the WebUI only gives a relative path. And you can't count on the default download path location as the uTorrent GUI (not the WebUI) allows you to download torrents to multiple paths.The reason I need to find the full path is that I want to display the download percentage of a file in a generic windows file browser type application. Since I don't have the full path, I can't verify if a file being listed (by the file browser) is currently being downloaded by uTorrent. I could go by the file name alone, but this isn't very reliable, especially if there are multiple files with the same name in different paths.I've searched the forums quite a bit and couldn't find a way to get the full path data, am I missing something?

Lord Alderaan Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 That information is simply not available through the API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Lord Alderaan:I pretty much figured it out, but it should be relatively easy to add this info to the API in a future version, I would even test this for you given an updated build.

Lord Alderaan Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The API itself is part of the back-end and can only be developed by the BitTorrent, inc. developers. Unfortunately the webui is a low priority atm for BitTorrent, inc so any request no matter how valid might take months or even years before it is implemented. Just fyi.

Moshe Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 That's a shame, as integration with 3rd parties is what makes uTorrent an even better tool.I read somewhere there was another API, possible application based, was that ever released?

Firon Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's not really a LOW priority, it's just that other tasks are taking up dev time. But we haven't forgotten about the WebUI, and there are things in the works. Some improvements are already implemented in the code, just not in any released version yet.

Ultima Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would think this request is related to Trac ticket #2, with the similar deficiencies. Essentially, a way to both get and set the download path is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Firon:This isn't really about the WebUI per-say.The WebUI lets us interact with uTorrent on a code level, regardless of the original target audience being a javascript applet for remote management (i.e. WebUI).I just hope you'll release some test code so we can integrate support in our code base before our own product release.

Ultima Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Firon wasn't talking about the UI. He was talking about the backend serving data to the UI, which is what we refer to as the WebUI backend, and sometimes just simply WebUI (though it's sometimes ambiguous to call it that).
