XMLRPC API calls
Rtorrent works with hashes by default, which identify each download/torrent.
| Call name | Parameters | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| download_list | none | Returns an array/list of all hashes that are in the main view. |
| load_start | torrent_path/magnet_link | Loads the given path/magnet link and starts it. Always seems to return 0 |
| load_start_verbose | See load_start | See load_start |
| d.pause | hash | Pauses the given download |
| d.resume | hash | Resumes a download, it's a good idea to call is_open before calling this. |
| load | torrent_path/magnet_link | Does the same as load_start but doesn't start downloading the torrent. TODO: return values? |
| load_verbose | See load | See load |
| start | hash | Start the given download |
| d.get_name | hash | Retrieve the name of the torrent with the given hash. Does not have anything to do with the name of the individual files in this torrent. |
| d.get_completed_bytes | hash | Get the amount of bytes that are completed for the given torrent hash |
| d.get_size_bytes | hash | Get the total size in bytes of the given torrent hash |
