Please consider adding transmission-cli as an external torrent program for FreeBSD users. #67

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Set plugins/create/ to use the external software "createtorrent" when on
FreeBSD
2.Add a large torrent (1-5 GB)
3.wait for an hour or two

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am not sure if it's a "linuxism" in the code or if it's just some strange
incompatibility with "createtorrent" but on FreeBSD it doesn't work nearly
as fast as it should.  i've been testing other scripts/programs to make
torrents and SO far it seems transmissioncli is the best.  It has an easy
to use (and almost the same as createtorrent) syntax for the command line.
 A torrent that takes 2 hours to make with createtorrent takes 30-40
seconds to make with transmission-cli  PLEASE consider it for us FreeBSD
users (also may be an update for linux users too, i would have to test on
linux to be sure, maybe some of you linux kids could test.  Take a 1 gb
folder, use createtorrent on it, then try with transmissioncli and tell me
which is faster)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN rutorrent, rtorrent-devel (0.8.5) and FreeBSD 7.2
createtorrent i've testing both the latest in ports and the latest
available on the createtorrent website, both suffer from same bug

I've also emailed it's creators
Please provide any additional information below.

I think it would be an added enhancement for us FreeBSD users who use
private trackers.

Thanks.

Also, i would ask others who use FreeBSD to please test this.  Test the time it 
takes
to use createtorrent for a 1gb file then test the same with transmissioncli

for me, i get over 1 hour for a single 1gb tv show with createtorrent but only 
30-40
seconds with transmission-cli  I'd look for another way to make torrents but on
FreeBSD this seems to be the best.  It's lightweight and fast.

awesome, thanks for accepting this.  It will be great for us FreeBSD users (and 
all
of the linux users who later learn that FreeBSD is better =))

Added in r348, check. You need to set variable $useExternal = "transmissioncli" 
in
create/conf.php for use that.

This works WONDERFULLY for FreeBSD machines.  Thanks again.

i was able to add a 5 GB torrent in 3 minutes, where as before it would take 2 
hours.
