how to: show torrentflux stats in conky

markp1989 · 2008-12-30 19:57:30

I have just started a small script that can be called by conky to show stats of currently running torrents.

currently it outputs:
Torrent title (removes puncuation and makes it all upper case )
estimated time / stoped / completed / waiting / connecting to peers
TX Speed (per torrent)
RX Speed (per torrent)

script : I placed my script in ~/scripts

dir=/media/downloads ## specify download dir 
cutno=30 #Specifies the number of characters to show in the title name, usefull to stop long torrent names from stretching conky
cd $dir/.torrents
echo Transfers: `ls *.stat  | wc -l`
echo " "
for file in *.stat; do
echo $file | cut -f1 -d'.' | cut -c 1-$cutno | tr '_' ' ' | tr -d '[{}(),\!]' | tr -d "\'" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]';  ##Displays torrent name, without puncuation
    echo `cat $file | head -n 3 | tail -n 1;` : `cat $file | head -n 2 | tail -n 1;`% ##displays the current status of the torrent
    echo RX speed: `cat $file |  head -n 4 | tail -n 1;` ##displays the downspeed 
    echo TX speed: `cat $file |  head -n 5 | tail -n 1;` ##displays the upspeed
        echo Seeds: `cat $file |  head -n 7 | tail -n 1 | cut -f1 -d'+';` ##displays the amount of seeds 
        echo Peers: `cat $file |  head -n 8 | tail -n 1 ;` ##displays the amount of peers
    echo " "

done

here is my conky rc

${font}${execi 10 /home/mark/scripts/torrentstats.sh}

here is a screen shot of my conky.

as u can see my ISP throttle my torrernt traffic (the main reason i want to monitor it constantly), hence the slow downloads

any thing that doesnt seem right, tell me and i will see what i can do.

I am planing to add extra features to it, such as total download / upload soonish.

PS if this is the wrong section, please move it.

Made a few changes to the script

changes: added ability to show total down/up speed, the size

now curl is required

#!/bin/bash
dir=/media/torrents ## replace with torrentflux download dir can be on this computer, or mounted over nfs
cutno=30 #Specifies the number of characters to show in the title name, usefull to stop
host=127.0.0.1/torrentflux ## the address of your torrent flu
user=******
pass=******

curl -c .tf_cookie -d username=$user -d iamhim=$pass $host/login.php >/dev/null 2>&1
curl -H "Expect:" -b .tf_cookie $host/index.php > .torrentstats.tmp # uses curl to dump the torrent page to file 

echo Down Speed `cat .torrentstats.tmp | grep -i '<strong' | tail -n 4| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';` #Total down 
echo Up Speed `cat .torrentstats.tmp | grep -i '<strong' | tail -n 3| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';`     # Total up
echo Free Space `cat .torrentstats.tmp | grep -i '<strong' | tail -n 2| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';`   # remaining space 

cd $dir/.torrents
echo Transfers: `ls *.stat  | wc -l` ##counts the amount transfers
echo " "
for file in *.stat; do
size=`cat $file | tail -n 1;`
echo $file | cut -f1 -d'.' | cut -c 1-$cutno | tr '_' ' ' | tr -d '[{}(),\!]' | tr -d "\'" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'; ## displays torrent names
echo `cat $file | head -n 3 | tail -n 1 | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]';`  : `cat $file | head -n 2 | tail -n 1;`% ## displays the status
echo RX speed: `cat $file |  head -n 4 | tail -n 1;`  ##displays the current download speed per torrent
echo TX speed: `cat $file |  head -n 5 | tail -n 1;` ##displays the current upload speed per torrent
echo size: `expr $size / 1048576` MB ##displays the file size
echo Seeds: `cat $file |  head -n 7 | tail -n 1 | cut -f1 -d'+';` ##displays the amount of seeds
echo Peers: `cat $file |  head -n 8 | tail -n 1 ;` ##displays the amount of peers
echo " "
done

screen

Any feed back will be appriciated.

Changes:

changed all incorect "cat $file | grep" to "grep $file" which should save a little bit of resorces.

fixed the size line, so that if there are errors on the download, it doesnt give an expr error in the size feild.

#!/bin/dash
dir=/media/downloads ## replace with torrentflux download dir
cutno=26 #Specifies the number of characters to show in the title name
host=http://192.168.1.99/torrentflux
user=mark
pass=*****

rm .tf_cookie
curl -c .tf_cookie -d username=$user -d iamhim=$pass $host/login.php >/dev/null 2>&1
curl -H "Expect:" -b .tf_cookie $host/index.php  >/dev/null 2>&1 > .torrentstats.tmp

echo RX Speed `grep -i '<strong' .torrentstats.tmp | tail -n 4| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';` Kb/s
echo TX Speed `grep -i '<strong' .torrentstats.tmp | tail -n 3| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';` Kb/s
echo Free Space `grep -i '<strong' .torrentstats.tmp | tail -n 2| head -n 1 | cut -f3 -d'>' | cut -f1 -d'<';`

cd $dir/.torrents
echo Transfers: `ls *.stat  | wc -l` ##counts the amount transfers 
echo " "
for file in *.stat; do
if grep -qw $user $file ; then 
size=`head -n 13 $file | tail -n 1;`
echo $file | cut -f1 -d'.' | cut -c 1-$cutno | tr '_' ' ' | tr -d '[{}(),\!]' | tr -d "\'" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'; ## displays torrent names, in upper case, without any puncuation 
echo `head -n 3 $file | tail -n 1 | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]';`  : `cat $file | head -n 2 | tail -n 1;`% ## displays the status of the torrent
echo RX speed: `head -n 4 $file | tail -n 1;`  ##displays the current download speed per torrent 
echo TX speed: `head -n 5 $file | tail -n 1;` ##displays the current upload speed per torrent 
echo size: `expr $size / 1048576` MB ##displays the file size 
echo Seeds: `head -n 7 $file | tail -n 1 | cut -f1 -d'+';` ##displays the amount of seeds 
echo Peers: `head -n 8 $file| tail -n 1 ;` ##displays the amount of peers
echo " "
else 
echo "not mine" >/dev/null
