This program can help you to remove your torrents. Now you don't need to worry about your disk space - according to your strategies, the program will check each torrent if it satisfies the remove condition; If so, delete it automatically.
This program supports qBittorrent/Transmission/μTorrent. If you like, star it 🌟 :)
Documentation: https://autoremove-torrents.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Readme version in other languages: 简体中文.
- Python 2.7 or Python 3
That's all. It's a simple but smart program.
pip install autoremove-torrents
or
git clone https://github.com/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents.git cd autoremove-torrents python3 setup.py install
In order to satisfactory your needs, you have to learn how to write a configuration file.
You can put the configuration file anywhere on your disk. The autoremove-torrents looks for config.yml
in the Shell's current working directory:
vim ./config.yml
The grammar is quite easy, for example:
my_task: client: qbittorrent host: http://127.0.0.1 username: admin password: adminadmin strategies: my_strategy: categories: IPT remove: seeding_time > 1209600 or ratio > 1 delete_data: true
The program will delete those torrents whose categories are IPT
, seeding time is above 1209600 seconds or ratio is greater than 1. Read the documents to learn more.
autoremove-torrents
If you just want to see which torrents can be removed but don't want to really remove them, use --view
command line argument.
If you want to check whether there is any torrent can be removed every 15 minutes, the crontab can help you. Look at the example:
crontab -e
And then, add a line at the end of the file (please confirm the path of the autoremove-torrents and your program):
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/autoremove-torrents --conf=/home/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents/config.yml --log=/home/jerrymakesjelly/autoremove-torrents/logs
The --conf
indicates the path to the configuration file.
The --log
argument specifies the path to store the log files (Must be existed).

condition will only remove those torrents whose status are seeding. We set this restriction to provide a method for users to avoid a torrent being removed by changing its status (e.g. pause seeding). - But now we have a
status
filter, this restriction becomes unnecessary, and its behavior may be different from users expectation.

- Removed torrent status restriction in
