Configuration

Moving torrents upon completion

ruTorrent can automate moving torrents upon completion using the Autotools plugin. Moving torrents may come in handy in when using multiple libraries in Plex Media Server.

  1. In ruTorrent, choose Settings > Autotools.
  2. Enable "Autolabel" feature, Template: {DIR}
  3. Enable "AutoMove" if torrent's label matches filter: /anime|apps|ebooks|movies|music|series/
  4. Set path to finished downloads: /share/data/torrents, operation type Move and enable Add torrent's label to path

This setup will move any labeled torrent to /share/data/torrents/<label>/<torrent_name>.

Fix missing label icons

The tracklabels plugin stores it's 16x16 pixel .png images under /rutorrent/plugins/tracklabels/labels/.
Adding missing label icons is as easy as copying an existing icon to a different name:

$ cp /opt/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/tracklabels/labels/movie.png /opt/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/tracklabels/labels/movies.png
$ cp /opt/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/tracklabels/labels/books.png /opt/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/tracklabels/labels/ebooks.png
