This Python script helps automate reannouncing torrents in Deluge to improve the chances of finding seeds. It uses the deluge-client package to communicate with the Deluge daemon.
- Install the required package:
pip install deluge-client
Use the following command to run the script:
python deluge_reannounce.py <torrent_id> <torrent_name> <torrent_path>
Replace <torrent_id>, <torrent_name>, and <torrent_path> with the appropriate values for your torrent.
or
Use the following shell script for logging:
#!/bin/bash
torrentid="$1"
torrentname="$2"
torrentpath="$3"
python deluge_reannounce.py "$torrentid" "$torrentname" "$torrentpath" >> ~/logs/deluge_reannounce.log
Before running the script, make sure to update the following variables in the script with your Deluge connection details:
ip = "127.0.0.1"
port = 19045 # Change this to your Deluge daemon port
username = "str0ke" # Change this to your Deluge username
password = "password" # Change this to your Deluge password
The script connects to the Deluge RPC client and goes through a loop with a maximum number of iterations (configurable). It sleeps for a specified interval between iterations and then checks the torrent information, including the tracker status and seed information. If the script finds seeds or specific tracker issues, it will force a reannounce to improve the chances of downloading the torrent.
