Incoming directory

To have a directory scanned for .torrent files and let them be added to BTG, there is this nice bash script from the BTG HowTo:

{% highlight bash %} #!/bin/sh

CLIENT=btgcli

The directory containing the torrent files.

INCOMING_DIR=~/btg/incomming

The directory to which .torrent files are moved

to after loading them into BTG.

DONE_DIR=~/btg/incomming/done

GOT_SESSION=0 $CLIENT -A -n -c "detach" &> /dev/null && GOT_SESSION=1

if [ $GOT_SESSION -eq 0 ] then $CLIENT -n -c "detach" &> /dev/null && GOT_SESSION=1 fi

if [ $GOT_SESSION -eq 0 ] then echo "Unable to attach or create a BTG session." exit -1 fi

TORRENT_ADDED=0

cd $INCOMING_DIR &&
for f in ls -1 *.torrent 2> /dev/null ; do echo "Loading file: $f" &&
$CLIENT -A -n -c "detach" -o $f &> /dev/null &&
TORRENT_ADDED=expr $TORRENT_ADDED + 1 &&
mv $f $DONE_DIR done

if [ $TORRENT_ADDED -gt 0 ] then echo "Added $TORRENT_ADDED torrents to BTG." fi {% endhighlight %}

Set Speedlimits based on time of day

This script also comes from the BTG HowTo:

{% highlight bash %} #!/bin/sh

The location of the BTG client application.

CLIENT=btgcli

H=date +%H O="none"

if [ "$H" -gt "0" ] || [ "$H" -lt "6" ] then O="night" fi

if [ "$H" -gt "6" ] || [ "$H" -lt "12" ] then O="morning" fi

if [ "$H" -gt "12" ] || [ "$H" -lt "16" ] then O="midday" fi

if [ "$H" -gt "16" ] || [ "$H" -lt "23" ] then O="evening" fi

Max upload limit.

UL_MAX=75

Global limits in KiB/sec.

UL=-1 DL=-1 SET_LIMIT=0

case "$O" in night) UL=$UL_MAX SET_LIMIT=1 echo "Limit:$O:$UL:$DL" ;; morning) UL=expr $UL_MAX - 20 SET_LIMIT=1 echo "Limit:$O:$UL:$DL" ;; midday) UL=expr $UL_MAX - 40 SET_LIMIT=1 echo "Limit:$O:$UL:$DL" ;; evening) UL=expr $UL_MAX - 70 SET_LIMIT=1 echo "Limit:$O:$UL:$DL" ;; *) echo "Not setting limit." ;; esac

if [ "$SET_LIMIT" -eq "0" ] then exit 0 fi
