ruTorrent v3.4 (w/ Seed.st)

[hoagieh]

I'm wanting to setup a sync between my ruTorrent client hosted with Seed.st and my windows 8 machine. I've been digging through the forums and I'm not finding an answer.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Do you have ssh access? If not, your provider would need to install/configure it for you. If you have ssh, it's absolutely possible.

Though continually retorrenting the torrents you're currently torrenting () would probaby be an incredibly waste of time and resources?

No it wouldn't. You do realize you have to download everything from the seedbox if you want to use what you torrented?

Of course you could stream, but you need a pretty good connection for that so you might as well just torrent at home (if you can).

But I think the OP wants to sync a folder up to the seedbox via rtorrent/rutorrent.

Well that works differently, you'd have to rehash the whole folder and create a .torrent file to upload everytime.

It sounds like he wants to use it to automate syncing his warezed files to his local PC from his torrent box, and if his torrent program does not only move finished downloads into the synced folder but does the actual downloading there, that would re-hash and re-sync in-progress downloads all the time, wasting boundless CPU time/electricity as well as probably wasting gobloads of bandwidth.

In that case you're absolutely right. Although I think it won't sync locked files as it should be. Then again rtorrent creates empty files at start with the same size to avoid defragmentation and I don't know if it keeps those locked until the entire download finishes.
