How can I tell when a torrent was completed?

Recommended Posts

I have a seedbox with a disk space limit. uTorrent is configured to download via RSS feed, so the number of torrents goes up. Obviously at some point I will have to get rid of some. Because there's more than a hundred torrents currently running, I was trying to create a very small Ruby class that would prune torrents in a sensible way. I'd want to get rid of the oldest, biggest, least popular torrents automatically while saving the more popular ones.

Unfortunately the Web API doesn't seem to give data on the dates a torrent was added or completed. Why is this (basic) information excluded? Is there a roundabout way of obtaining the same information?

It simply wasn't included in the first public installment of the Web API back in 2006, and that Web API hasn't been changed since.

But in 2.1 they are expanding the Web API and I'm hoping they will now expose Added On, Completed On and Last Active. All three as timestamps (for caching purposes).
