FEATURE REQUEST: "Race" an existing torrent
Closed this issue · 1 comments
In some cases, the rules for considering whether to add a torrent or not are based around the release (e.g. Name, Resolution, Year) as well as an existing state (Sonarr / Radarr), such that the application adding the torrent just pushes it to qBittorrent but allows calling a script after it has added the torrent to qBittorrent (see: #35 (comment))
In such cases, it would be desirable if qbit-race had an option to "race" the torrent that was just added, for instance:
- Pause existing torrents (for better race performance)
- Reannounce
However, since the addition of the torrent (i.e. intent to download) is controlled by another application, it would not support certain features, such as:
- Skipping the race if there are existing races (since someone else added it, we should not skip it. Also it may have already started anyway)
- Deleting the torrent if we fail reannounce after X attempts (since someone else added it, we leave deletion upto them)
The command could take in the infohash of an existing torrent, and use that to look it up in qBittorrent.
