====== Transmission Houskeeping ======

The script ''transmission_housekeeping.py'' is a hack-job attempt at getting "watch folder" support and automatic removal of completed downloads for the [[http://www.transmissionbt.com/|Transmission]] BitTorrent client running in "daemon" mode.  It works by using Erik Svensson's [[http://bitbucket.org/blueluna/transmissionrpc/|transmissionrpc]] Python module to interact with an instance of ''transmission-daemon'', checking the status of current downloads and adding any torrents that are waiting in the watch folder.

Erik Svensson has since created [[http://bitbucket.org/blueluna/transmission_supervisor/|transmission_supervisor]], so I'll be rewriting the functionality in this script as extensions to that helper daemon.

===== Usage =====

To just run the script once, run:
<code>
transmission_housekeeping.py -c config.json
</code>
