uTorrent WebUI command line utility and library for Python 3

twistedfall · December 29, 2010

Fixed torrent sorting broken by previous changes and improved recheck logic, it now automatically stops torrents before recheck and starts (if required) after.

twistedfall · January 18, 2011

Version supporting newer builds of µTorrent Linux server was just committed. Please note that older builds are no longer supported. Also there were API changes because of that.

twistedfall · February 5, 2011

Added support for downloaded whole torrent, not just single files

Thank you for the script. I am seeing a problem when using the script.

command:

utorrentctl.py --settings

exception:

I have WebUI and uTorrent up and running on my host. Can you please help me get around this?

Oh and I'm trying this on Windows Server 2003. Thanks!

> socket.error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

It seems that you don't have access to the remote host running uTorrent. Can you connect to it via web browser? If yes, did you specify connection parameters of utorrentctl correctly? Did you use config.py file or pass arguments via command line?

monica2587 · February 10, 2011

Yes. I used config.py to pass arguments. and I can connect to the WebUI via browser for the client. However, when executing from command line I get the exception repeatedly. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

twistedfall · February 10, 2011

Could you show me your config file? (hostname and password hidden of course )

Like that:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# default username and password

utorrentcfg = {

'host' : '<hostname>:16006',

'login' : 'utorrent',

'password' : '<password>'

}

monica2587 · February 10, 2011

sure- here goes:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# default username and password
utorrentcfg = {
    'host' : '<ip>:19762',
    'login' : 'test',
    'password' : 'test'
}

i hit the web ui with this url: http://<ip>:19762/gui/

twistedfall · February 11, 2011

Well then. Could you try running

telnet <ip> 19762

and paste here its output?

twistedfall · March 5, 2011

Bump newest linux server version support

utorrential31337 · March 5, 2011

Thanks for sharing your work with everyone.

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue as monica2587, and this issue seems to be related to accessing a machine from the same host utorrent is running on.

Here is my error:

I've allowed python.exe and pythonw.exe through the firewall. (didn't work) I disabled windows firewall completely. (didn't work)

I turned webui.auth token on and off, it didn't help.

The script works from a different pc on my network. (A server 2003 SP1 machine with 32bit python)

Machine that doesn't work with script, which is also running the uTorrent I want to connect to:

OS: Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)

Python: 3.2 x64 bit (latest)

uTorrent: 2.2.23703

twistedfall · March 5, 2011

I have implemented some changes that might help. Please try running the latest version ( https://github.com/twistedfall/utorrentctl/raw/master/utorrentctl.py )

utorrential31337 · March 5, 2011

It seems to have improved access from the remote machine, esp using <IP>:<PORT>. I just noticed a bit ago that it was only successfully working remotely maybe 1/5 times. Now it seems to be perhaps 4/5 times. Here is a sequence of events from the remote machine..it works, then doesn't, then does, then doesn't...

Please download the fresh version and give it another try

utorrential31337 · March 5, 2011

Tried the new version, this time it doesn't work on either 2003 remotely or 2008 locally, at all. But, I only get 1 error and it's the same error on both machines, so I guess that's positive

Here is the error now. It never changes no matter what I do.

More good news, it seems the --server-version flag is working well 100% of the time, from either 2008 local or 2003 remote. So that eliminates a lot of possible issues.

Also --settings returns a different error.

Yup, that's good news The connection problems are gone and we are now facing only server response format errors. That's something I can debug locally. According to the server-version response you are using µTorrent Falcon, am I right? If yes, then please, first make sure you downloaded and installed the latest version from http://user.utorrent.com/labs/get-falcon . Meanwhile I will install it locally to see what is wrong.

twistedfall · March 5, 2011

Ah, I see, I'm wrong. Server-version is detected incorrectly for the latest 2.2rc.

twistedfall · March 5, 2011

Download the latest version. It should work at last. Also I added the ability to override server API version. So you could also try running utorrentctl with --server=desktop (see help for all available values). Specifying this option completely disables µTorrent API version auto-detection so if chosen incorrectly may produce erratic results. Actually this is what happened in your case. My utility was incorrectly identifying your µTorrent as Falcon.

utorrential31337 · March 5, 2011

Doh, I didn't even notice that it reported version 3.0 and I'm actually using 2.2. Glad you figured that out

I got the latest, and as long as I force server=desktop it works great. Thank you so much for your work.

With this working, I should be able to create a vbs script that calls your script on every state change of a torrent, pass my script the hash id, pass it to yours, then pull the tracker out with yours, do some tracker=label logic with mine, then assign a label based on the tracker with yours...and voila, auto labels!

Thanks again

twistedfall · March 5, 2011

) You are welcome. I'll try to work out some more robust version detection based on build number, but apparently there is no logic in assigning those...

Ultima · March 6, 2011

It's just the SVN revision number... and the repository is shared by all versions. Having the "build" key made sense in the past, when there was only one branch being tested at any given time. Doesn't work quite so well now with 3+ branches being tested simultaneously :/

The only way I've managed to reliably differentiate between 2.2 and 3.0 is to check action=getsettings to see if webui.uconnect_enable is defined. If so, then it's 3.0; if not, then it's 2.2 (or more precisely, anything older, but who's counting those really?).

twistedfall · March 6, 2011

Thanks, that helped! I have implemented the detection of the aforementioned setting. So the auto-detection should be reliable now. Also, for those affected, I have renamed --server option into --api (but it shouldn't be required now anyway).

I"ve downloaded and trying to run from F14 and get the following error...

[root@home home]# python utorrentctl.py --help
  File "utorrentctl.py", line 1280
    print_orig = print
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any assistance would be appreciated..

It looks like you are using Python version 2.x. Python 3.1 is required.
