Thread: Another Auto Uploading Script

Yea well .. what part do you need help with? I've written a script that auto dl from other trackers and recreates a new torrent and autoupload to some trackers.

The script triggers on an event from rtorrent when a torrent is ready downloaded but you could make it trigger on other things. In Linux I would use inodes or something .. in windows I dunno but there are surely events to trigger on. Or if your ftp client can run a script when it's ready with a transfer.

Also the upload process differs from tracker to tracker so some modifications is surely needed there as well.

i have a sever,full access. and a topsite ftp. i have already setup an autofxp from topsite to my server. when the new release is fully transfered to my server, i want auto create the torrent and upload to a tracker.

really need help for this. thanks!

Do you have any way to trigger a script when the transfer is complete? I mean any way to know for sure when the transfer is 100% done?

If so .. the rest is easy and you can have it from me. If not .. you have to think of a way to know when the transfer is complete. The best way is if you use a command line ftp client or scp or something to transfer the files so you could execute the script when the transfer process is done.

Or if your ftp/fxp client can execute scripts after a transfer.

The least good way is to use inodes or similar OS hooks to check if a directory is still being written to. It's adding alot of latency to your pre times and will sooner or later generate incomplete torrents.

So .. tell me when you know how to execute it and you can have torrent creation and upload part from me

As igge said u need to know exactly when all files are on ur server. Next u need to trigger any app custumized by you (probably made from scratch) to upload the file for the tracker u want.

Hard thing to do but good luck ;)

Yea a "general" app is impossible .. in my script I've modulized the upload process so I can add new trackers I want to upload to or download from as modules to the existing framework. So it's not a HUGE job to add support for a new tracker but you still need to do the work for every single new tracker.
