I have written a python script that you can run on your seedbox and it will copy the completed files to another location (in most cases a remote location).
This is useful if you are running a seedbox offshore but want the files to automatically push to your home machine once downloaded.
Highlights of using this script:
- Mirror completed downloads to a target directory or machine.
- Continue to seed torrent even after deleting files from target.
- Seedbox initiates the connection, no polling the seedbox for changes!
- Files "remember" they have been synced, so they will never resync once deleted from target.
This can be run all on a single machine, across a local network, or over the internet (which is what I first designed it for).
The script uses a proper "push" technique (requires port open on home firewall) which doesn't poll the server for changes, saving bandwidth when idle.
If running this script local or on a single machine you have the advantage of being able to delete downloaded files from the target (mirrored) directory and continue to seed them from your client's download directory.
I have included instructions in the comments at the top of the script, but it's pretty straight forward to use.
Where the /opt/deluge-complete/ directory is the directory where your Deluge (or other) torrent client saves completed downloads to and home.dyndns.com is your target home machine where the downloads will be pushed.Code:$ ./seedbox-sync.py --progress /opt/deluge-complete/ john@home.dyndns.com:~/downloads/
Hope you find this useful. Let me know if you need help or run into problems.
