Seeding a A Torrent you Already have the Files for #199

Closed BioBox closed 3 years ago

BioBox commented 3 years ago

I created a new torrent using your torf utility and would like to add it to stig to start seeding without leeching however I'm not sure if stig has the functionality for that.

If not, then how would you do it in Transmission? Thanks.

rndusr commented 3 years ago
$ stig -h
$ stig -h commands
$ stig -h add

Just add it with the correct path:

$ stig add your.torrent --path /where/the/torrent/file/are

If the path is correct and the transmission-daemon user can read /where/the/torrent/file/are, it will verify the files and start seeding.

You can also add the torrent without the path, move it and verify it.

Ok my mistake was that I was pointing stig over to the directory of the torrent instead of the directory containing the torrent. Thanks. torf is awesome btw.
