#Downloaders
- deluge
- transmission
- rtorrent
There are a couple of core requirements for our downloader:
- catchall watch folder (/mnt/blackhole/*.torrent) should work correctly and download to "unsorted"
- dynamic watch directories
- remove the torrent from the watch directory once its loaded
- auto-start watch directory torrents
- download all torrents to /mnt/processing directory
- redirect rtorrent daemon logs to STDOUT
- move completed downloads into dynamic
/mnt/downloadssubdirectories. 1 2 - DEPOT default user/password authentication for webui
- auto-labeling by watch folder compatible with flood
- scheduling/QoS
- Auto cleanup? Completed torrents that are stopped and older than 2 months?
- stop seeding when download is complete
- Performance tuning
- logrotate
- better logging.
- ensure that deleting a partially downloaded/inprogress torrent will actually delete the associated data
- when deleting a torrent we should always delete the .torrent file too
- when deleting a torrent, sometimes the download directory is not deleted.
