# transmission-trackers

Script to automatically add trackers from a list to all torrents in Transmission.

This allows to get more peers to download/upload from/to.

Features:

* Download lists of trackers from any number of URLs and cache them locally. The cache will only be updated after the specified time passes (e.g. once a day)

* Check if trackers obtained from remote URLs are resolvable in DNS

* Load additional local tracker lists

* Remove duplicates so that only unique hosts and IPs are used: if two or more URLs point to the same hostname or the hostname resolves to the same IP - only one URL will be loaded

* Optionally filter torrents by status (seeding, stopped etc)

* Compare the current tracker list of a torrent with the required one and only update Transmission if they don't match

Tracker list format:

* One tracker URL per line

* Empty lines are ignored

* Only `http[s]://` and `udp://` trackers are loaded (Transmission does not support WebSocket trackers AFAIK)

Requirements:

* Should work with both Python 2.7 and 3.x, although there may be problems with logging in Python2 due to different unicode handling, I don't want to fix that :)

* *transmissionrpc* Python module

Usage:

* Get *transmissionrpc*: ```pip[3] install transmissionrpc``` (or using any other method)

* Put the *transmission-trackers.py* script somewhere

* Make sure that the right Python interpreter is used (it's *python3* by default)

* Adjust the host/port/credentials to access the Transmission RPC inside the script

* Add your URLs and local files to the appropriate lists in the script

* Adjust other parameters if needed (see comments)

* Make the script run by cron e.g. every minute

* You're done

Cron Setup:

* Open Crontab using crontab -e

* For Updating Trackers to Every New Torrent Every 15 Minutes Add: */15 * * * * /usr/bin/sh [path]]/transmission-trackers-auto-cron.sh

* Modify the transmission-trackers-auto.sh file as per your needs. We have provided two options, transmission-daemon & docker
