torrent client Transmission-CUI: How to queue torrents? Or stop them after download finishes

[Mr.Stork]

I'm following this YouTube Guide: https://youtu.be/wZY6xTmovuc?t=94 to download Torrents using https://colab.research.google.com via Transmission-CUI. But if you watch the video for even 10 seconds, you'll know that there are no settings, just put commands and run the block.

So, if I set the 2 commands to download 2 torrents, the first one keeps seeding and second one doesn't even start. So, either I need to stop them after they finish downloading, or reduce the seeding time to 0.

Please, just watch the video for a few seconds to understand my problem.

---

I'm using these commands like so, to make them queue up, which is not working:

!transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link1
!transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link2
!transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link3

because the first line doesn't finish executing as it keeps seeding

 

I have an idea of using the -f command, which is used to run a script after torrent finishes, but how do write a script to stop torrent, and what language?

Thanks.

Im not sure if you have something specific in mind, but transmission qt client has a GUI version, you can queue them pretty easily that way. I have no idea if there are commands for that though.

https://colab.research.google.com/ only allows commands, how do I use GUI?

Looks like you can set multiple torrents to download at once, but from reading the user guide it doesnt look like you can queue them to download in succession, which is what I think you want.

Im pretty sure lots of other terminal torrent clients exist, you might have a look at them.

I see but it works a bit differently on the website, if you could take a look on the video that would be great!

In your command above you have

magnet:...link3

The URL for downloading the torrent would be the magnet link

 

You could look at ktorrent if you need a GUI based torrent client and if you don't want it to keep seeding after its done, then just disable it.
