Looking for a BitTorrent Daemon

Does anyone know a bittorrent daemon that will stop after the file is 100% seeded?

I found btpd and btg, but it doesn't look like they stop.

Re: Looking for a BitTorrent Daemon

May I ask why, since that would sort of side step the entire purpose of bittorrent?

There must be a misunderstanding.  When I say 100% seeded I mean a 1:1 upload:download ratio.

I need a daemon that will turn off at some point because I don't want to seed forever.

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about trackers, for some reason. But you could try rTorrent, you can configure it to stop at a specified ratio.

It looks like BTG may have this functionality and it has a web interface.

rtorrent indeed does it. I use

schedule = ratio,60,60,stop_on_ratio=100,50M,200

to stop seeding when I uploaded as much as I have downloaded with a minimum upload of 50mb and a total ratio less than 200%

Does rtorrent have a web interface?  I'm wondering how you control it.

rtorrent runs in the terminal, text-only interface.

Have you ever heard of a program called 'btseed'?  It sounds like it comes with the official BitTorrent client, but I can't find it in the source.

Transmission can do this as well, but only on a per-torrent basis.

The latest version of it does, via xmlrpc, although you need a newer version than the one in the community repo. I was fiddling around pkgbuilds for 0.7.7, but for some reason I kept getting hash errors on every download I had and ended up corrupting alot of stuff.    If someone would like to give it a try, I could post the pkgbuilds I wrote.

Re: Looking for a BitTorrent Daemon

Another recommendation for rtorrent. I have just switched from deluge to rtorrent and it is working much better. Deluge was giving me slow upload times and CPU usage was a little high. Rtorrent sorted both of these problems out and runs very well.
