TORRENT Watch directories
To load torrent files dropped into special folders (by direct download, DropBox, scp, sshfs, and so on),
you can extend your configuration with scheduled checks trying to load new files from these folders.
These examples load items from different directories, in started state or idle. The 3rd example shows how to set a non-default download path, using a post-load command.
schedule = watch_directory_foo, 20, 10, "load.start_verbose=~/watch_foo/*.torrent"
schedule = watch_directory_bar, 21, 10, "load.verbose=~/watch_bar/*.torrent"
schedule = watch_directory_baz, 22, 10, "load.verbose=~/watch_baz/*.torrent,d.directory.set=~/baz/"The used verbose load commands log any problems to the console.
Be aware though that half-written files can lead to spurious warnings,
especially of your schedules have an interval like only 1 second.
Use the load.start or load.normal commands instead
if you do not want any diagnostics.
Also note that the start times are incremental, to spread the load caused by scanning the watch directories.
# Either use this…
schedule = tied_directory, 10, 10, start_tied=
schedule = untied_directory, 10, 10, stop_untied=
# OR one of these, the combination does not make sense
schedule = untied_directory, 10, 10, close_untied=
schedule = untied_directory, 10, 10, remove_untied=When a download is created the torrent file's original path is associated with the download. When the commands '*_untied' are called the respective actions (stop, close, remove) are called for downloads if their original torrent file is not found.
The reverse happens if 'start_tied' is called.
On Linux and using v0.9.7+, you may use inotify to watch a directory, and the provided command is called with the the full path of new files as the first argument. Use method.insert to define more complex multi-command inotify handlers, or when you want to pass additional parameters to a handler command.
directory.watch.added = "~/Download/watch/", load.start
