Adding torrents using Remote Torrent Adder

In

This guide is for advanced users only and is not officially supported by USB, as it is frequently updated voluntarily by our staff and it may be broken in some slots. Only proceed if you know what you're doing. If there are any questions on the installation or the execution of the scripts, you may ask on the USB Community server.

As many of you know, Deluge is fast and more aggressive to upload but it starts to become a real nuisance once you load more than 500 torrents. rTorrent, on the other hand, is good at handling large amount of seeding torrents, making it ideal for long term seeding.

This guide will help you automate the process of moving your torrents from Deluge to rTorrent for long-term seeding.

Preparation

  • By default, Deluge downloads to ~/Downloads and rTorrent downloads to ~/files.
  • Please ensure that both Deluge and rTorrent download to the same directory.

Deluge requires an absolute path to your Download to: directory, so you'll have to enter something like /home13/username/Downloads, not ~/Downloads. rTorrent, on the other hand, will accept shortcuts such as ~/Downloads.

Install Dependencies

  • Login to your slot's SSH terminal and execute the following commands

Python 3

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ultraseedbox/UltraSeedbox-Scripts/master/Language%20Installers/python-pip-install.sh
chmod +x python-pip-install.sh
bash python-pip-install.sh

perl

screen -m bash -c "curl -L http://xrl.us/installperlnix | bash"
  • After that run the following commands
exec $SHELL
python -m pip install requests service_identity cryptography perl
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Convert::Bencode'
  • The installer is interactive so respond to the prompts as follows

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] yes

What approach do you want? (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')[local::lib]

Would you like me to append that to /homexx/username/.bashrc now? [yes] yes

  • After the installation, load .bashrc by doing the following command
exec $SHELL

is_interactive = False 								# Set this to True to allow direct output or set to False for cron
discord_url = "" 									# Discord Webhook URL
minseedtime = 24 									# Minimum seeding time (in hours)
src = home_dir + "/scripts/" 						# Where is rtorrent_fast_resume.pl kept?
state_folder = home_dir + "/.config/deluge/state/" 	# Link to deluge's state folder
watch_folder = home_dir + "/watch/" 				# Link to rTorrent's watch folder
deluge_port = 12345 								# Deluge Port. Found under "Remote client access" section in UCP
deluge_user = "username" 							# Deluge Username. Found under "Remote client access" section in UCP
deluge_pass = "p@55w0rd" 							# Deluge Password. Found under "Remote client access" section in UCP

It is critical you ensure your folder paths are properly quoted

For example: watch_folder = "/homeXX/user/watch/"

  • Then,autoExport.sh ais newthe tabscript appearsyou'll actually run. The autoExport.sh script essentially just runs the autoExport.py script, but specifically using the custom version of Python included with Deluge.
