Upload .torrent files to your seed server - bsdpunk - Nov 28, 2014

So let's say over the course of the day you download a lot of .torrent files and you need to upload them to your seebox, this is how I do it, via a crond job. This uploads all the .torrent files in the ~/Downloads directory:

Code 
for i in $(find ~/Downloads -newermt "2014-11-07" | grep "torrent$" ); do scp -r $i bsdpunk@seedbox:/home/disk1/bsdpunk/torrents/watch; done

Nice script OP, you mind explaining what the code exactly does and works?

This looks like a shell script that loops through and finds all .torrent files newer than 2014-11-07 that reside in the Downloads in the users home dir. It then uses SCP (secure copy) to transfer the .torrent to the user's seedbox at the specified location.

I'd rather have all my content organized perfectly and then use rsync to pull the data from my machine everyday with cron. Just how I prefer to do it.
Or you can get cron and SSH on a seedbox right ? never used one.

So yeah doing an rsync to get your data with a cron is great. But this is for putting the .torrents in your watch directory that you recently downloaded.

not a bad setup, you could also work with something like this:

Code 
watch_dir=~/Downloads

upload_dir=/home/disk1/bsdpunk/torrents/watch

sleep_duration=10

spin='-\|/'

i=0

while true

do

    saveifs=$IFS

    IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")

    files=$(ls -a $watch_dir*.{torrent} 2> /dev/null)

    if [ ${#files} -eq 0 ]; then

      i=$(( (i+1) %4 ))

      printf "\r[${spin:$i:1}] %s" `date +%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S`

    fi

    for f in $files

    do

      lsof $f > /dev/null

      if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then

                      echo

      scp -r $f bsdpunk@seedbox:$upload_dir

      else

      sleep_duration=1

      i=$(( (i+1) %4 ))

      printf "\r[${spin:$i:1}] %s is being written" $(basename $f)

      fi

    done

    IFS=$saveifs

done

You just need to run this once and leave it in the background, screen would be ideal for this

SSH Keys also make this automated, which I presume you already setup, but forgot to mention ;)

So I have a similar setup I showed here:

but yeah it's wicked awesome, and I have ssh keys set up.

But much love @djmodz
