@nagatha95 I have experienced the same issue with recent builds of Transmission. This is not only this tracker that the issue seems to affect, as my radarr grabs from another of many others for movies, too. I migrated to deluge, because at least it still works, and remains completely open source. People crap on it a lot because its written in python, and isn't the most efficient client, but it's worked reliably for 4 years after I made the transition, its really nice to be able to put the client into a virtualenv sandbox and I can't complain.

@6bryanlee Its fine. A new platform will pop up, just as OnlyFans did for tumblr, and the community will just move over there. I get that its a controversial decision, but c'mon, platforms live and die, and new ones are made to replace them. This is the internet. Such things will always be reborn. I'm not too miffed about it. What is honestly unrealistic expectation, is that it will last forever. With the Internet's dealing, leading professional industry being porn, the turnover is high, so rest assured, we will have another place to be in time.

If you're looking for automatic torrent management, I have a thing for your seedbox. Power Users only, please.

DISCLAIMER: The baseline guide is provided, and doesn't work out of the box. You will have to configure it. I assume no responsibility for data loss as a result of misconfiguration.

Baseline Installation instructions:

I have been using flexget here for just over 7 years, and really swear by it on a properly configured seedbox.

This flexget configuration is compatible with Deluge, bittorrent software: https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download

You will require of course, flexget which can be found here: https://flexget.com/InstallWizard/Linux , which does need python 3.6 or above, and the deluge-client module installed via pip.

By default, my install assigns labels to the torrents, so you'll need to enable the LabelPlus plugin for deluge: https://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=42629 Installation instructions for all deluge plugins are here: https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins#Download .

If your LabelPlus egg does not load when you import it, its because you've selected the wrong python version. You may need to adjust your python version for best results. This is why using virtualenv (or anaconda) is smart instead of the systemwide plugin.

Install flexget into python virtualenv following the instructions on the flexget website.

Configure scripts:

Set host to your server IP
Set port to Deluge daemon port
Set username to Deluge WebUI username in your auth file in your Deluge config directory.
Set password to Deluge WebUI password in your auth file in your Deluge config directory.
Change paths as nessecary per your configuration.

Install with supervisord:

/etc/supervisor/conf.d/flexget-supervisor.conf

[program:flexget]
command=/mnt/shared/config/flexget/flexget-daemon.sh
directory=/mnt/shared/config/flexget
user=heavypaws
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/mnt/shared/logs/flexget/flexget-stdout.log
numprocess=1
autostart=true
startretries=3
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0

terminal

sudo supervisorctl update
sudo supervisorctl reload
sudo supervisorctl enable

Install your script:

/mnt/shared/config/flexget/flexget-daemon.sh

#!/bin/bash

my_root_dir='/mnt/shared/config/flexget'
my_log_dir='/mnt/shared/logs/flexget'
my_app_dir="${my_root_dir}/app"

pkill "${my_app_dir}/bin/flexget" >/dev/null 2>&1
. $my_app_dir/bin/activate
if [[ -f "${my_log_dir}/flexget.log" ]]; then
        rm -f "${my_log_dir}/flexget.log"
fi
if [[ -f "${my_log_dir}/flexget-stdout.log" ]]; then
        rm -f "${my_log_dir}/flexget-stdout.log"
fi
pushd "${my_root_dir}/app"
flexget -c ${my_root_dir}/app-config.yml --logfile ${my_log_dir}/flexget.log daemon start
pop

Make the script executable:

terminal

sudo chmod +x /mnt/shared/config/flexget/flexget-daemon.sh

Install the configured flexget script:

The main thing here is that the majority of work has been done here by an IT professional. Customize to your liking. The version if it I have shared here works real well with plex collections . So that you can watch porn in a private repository of your own.

Have fun. The Release is GPL 3.0 licensed.

These are my settings.  But I'll go ahead and share them for you as a working example.

This is the deluge web system, but the same UI is used on the Windows build (or generally very similar)

Total Active, Total Downloading, etc:  -1 means infinite, any number, you'll want all torrents to remain active as they should be calling out for people needing them.  (Seeding).  So active should always be -1, downloading depends on how wide your pipe is, here I have mine set to 5, since I run RSS, I like them to come in fairly quick so they can be up for seeding.  Active seeding should be left at -1, since this option is configurable under bandwidth, its a bit redundant.

Port configuration - Choose any numbers, or range, here I've just done some unused ranges of ports. But both upload and download should be pulling an available port from the same range.  This available range is actually registered to the tracker, as one port range, so if they don't line up correctly like they do here, you'll have problems.

Forward this port range - Follow a guide in this forum on setting the machine's DHCP reservation settings, permenant ARP binding, and virtual host/port forwarding settings at your router portal.  You need to do this to upload/seed.  Downloading may work, but this is crucial to being kind to others, and following the rules here on ratio/sharing. 

The bandwidth tab -

Maximum connections -Maximum connections should be anywhere between 150-300 depending on the width of your pipe. If your modem/router starts to bug out, lower this number.  From experience, its unsafe to go above 150 on a Comcast connection.  They check for this, and they WILL throttle you.  I have bonded LTE modems so I am confident in allowing this to settle at maximum 300.

Upload slots/download slots/speed settings:  Be liberal with the amount of total upload slots.  The more seeds can come in, the better for your ratio.    Download speed should generally be low, since this tracker prioritizes patient people that give a lot of upload pipe for sharing via the ratio system.  As a rule of thumb here I have my upload speed set to x4 my download speed.

Half-open connections:  Half-open connections **is a pretty important number.  I have not had experience being able to set this number low and have success.  I recommend 25-35, 35 is pretty optimal, since if more dead IPs are hanging around longer than they should, that's a situation to worry about, but you need to allow enough to hang out for the tracker to function correctly.

Rate limiting:  Rate Limit your IP overhead, as that will apply the settings for you going out to WAN, but allow the traffic to come in your LAN at the speeds that are necessary to maintain connection by leaving your LAN rate-limit off.  I found rate-limit LAN does help out some older routers, whose firmware tends to crash when too much traffic is being shoved through them.  Its generally not necessary, not in 2018, to keep checked.

Maximum connections per torrent:  This should be anywhere between 10/20.  Unless a group of seeding torrents is exceedingly popular, this isn't worth setting to a high value.  Keep in mind how many you will be seeding at a time when setting this number.  Torrents in high demand can overload your upload speed if this number is set too high, monopolizing your available list of connections for themselves and breaking the connection to the tracker.

Maximum upload slots per torrent/download upload limits per torrent::  You should generally allocate half to a quarter of the slots you set in "Global" maximum upload slots here. This ensures your torrent is available to others, but that you leave space for other torrents to be shared as well.  This rule should be the same for your upload/download limitations per torrent.  half to a quarter of what you set under global for each, so that other torrents can enjoy good upload/download speeds too.

Definitely don't let global DHT hang around, and for god sakes don't use the github that has a list of public trackers.  rarbg, 1337x, tpbarchive  (obviously), katreboot, extratorrentz, and yify are all being watched by international governments.

i did have one entry.  who likes horror?  Human Centipede HD on the rip.  lol. (Really need to stop being lazy with the settings, and drinking)  xD  Funnily enough that download was a month ago.  Many happened since then.  I think that may have been when I needed to reconfigure my VPN and daemon, probably fudged it up and called out somewhere for a second.

Its a good idea to yank the wire for a second if you're re configuring settings.  We all learned something from this.

I recently gave in to purchasing a 4-bay Synology NAS solution (diskless) and populated it with 4 'ol reliable 8 TB (4x8TB = 32TB ) Hitachi drives to add to my (4x5TB) 20 TB Western Digital Black in my gaming rig, add one for the seedbox and I've got 32 TB + 20 TB + 1 TB = 53 TB, only which 1 TB at a time is hosted here, incidentally, until the i9-7940x for my x299 board ships and I've time to construct the render farm.  

Will give oral for a petabyte.  xD

Sadly it is what happens when a project gets little attention and contributors.  OSMC seems to work well, but only on original content.  Scrapers check md5sum, which of course is going to be very different on content that has been distributed many times over before arriving here.  For the sake of data preservation I do think it is a good idea, you will need interest in the project to improve the database, however…

Remote Solution - Local Driver
Windows, Mac, or Linux

Google drive is 1 TB for $11.99 USD a month, a RESTFul API tool can have your drive storage mounted as a network share instead of using the default Google Drive app, from which you can seedbox on.  I did that when I was homeless, just left a laptop lying around at a library.  Automount drive storage as drive X: or in /media/username/gdrive if you're linux, make seedbox run at boot and there you go.  Only drawback to this is for you have to have a HDD > then the size of your cloud storage + space for the OS because the only way to use gdrive is to mirror sync, unless you're using a RESTFul method that handles all this without eating hdd space.

Pros:

backed to cloud storage
easy
cheaper than full cloud
isp bandwidth - vpn and they don't care, bye DPI.

Cons:
you need the same amount of hdd space as the cloud due to mirror sync operations without RESTFul on windows
you have to leave physical hardware laying around with compromising data on it.
local hardware needs hardware maintenece

Remote Solution - Cloud and unmanaged cloud driver (droplet/unmanaged vps)

Back that with a droplet with centOS and deluge-web on it to make it fully remote and eliminate the laptop if you wish.  Mounting cloud storage as an fstab at remote server boot is a bit convoluted, though…  It will slow down any graceful server reboot because it has to handshake during fstab mount and authenticate with google.  There are also some boot order tweaks to ensure your network adapter goes up first so that it can auth with google to avoid the bootloop.  Go unmanaged cloud (NOT shared VPS) if you want access to init.rd, init.sh and a root shell (you'll need to it mod fstab and bootscripts).  They will give you RESTFul API solutions to hook up your server to GDrive without needing extra HDD space.  Since web providers pretty much allow this as an extra package I'd recommend it overall.  Most will preconfigure it at the click of a button.

Pros:

fully remote
easy management
no local data to incriminate you
web provider support for hardware issues
full RESTFul - no hdd mirror sync required

Cons:
you must know linux
you must have an apt knowledge of server admin
you must have an apt knowledge on how to keep said space secure
a bit of money to go fully remote.
hackers like cloud targets, this ties into the second and third point…keep it secure, it is remote and you are not there all the time to pull the plug.

There's a lot of gimmicky things out there, but some of the replies here are right in saying

1.  Work out
2.  Increase protein intake.
3.  If you're patchy-bearded, just grow it out then shave it clean 3 or 4 times in cycle, don't wax, that destroys the roots.  Beard hair is exceptionally dry to start, I suffered split ends on the beard which caused patchiness, and started the whole re-shave, applying beard oil (oils dry beard hair) and it started growing well after about 6 months.

The whole point in getting hair to grow in faster and thicker is slicing it off, it trains the body into cellular reintegration as long as you don't bother the roots.  Seems counter-productive, shaving it off.  But that trains the body to learn to grow it back in better.  I got my chest hair and beard using these three bits of advice people spoke on here.

You sir are both insane and absolutely a genius all at the same time.

  I love it.

I use ITEL networks to bond mine, and its done through two LTE antennas.  That's actually my ISP!  lol  And yes, they are fairly expensive.  The packet bonder up front was $1,200.  Nevermind my antennas or rodems (somewhere in the $4,000 range for two LTE rodems (spelled with an 'R' explicitly for that reason), 40 foot of SMB cable, adapters and high-dBM GSM/WCDMA/LTE transponding antennas.  (I require GSM/WCDMA to IMEI-auth via my contracted T-Mobile.  I think its a bit strange connection authentication happens over WCDMA/GSM - "3G, 2x, 1x".  I see my antenna operation console calling up through 2x and 3G before it hits my 4G band)  ITEL's monthly cost for 2 bonded connections isn't bad though, so the upfront cost pays for itself in about a year.  Its funny that you should mention Linus.  I have a world of dislike for that man.  But he knows how to recommend an ISP.  lol.  Don't get me started on his 'sponsorships'.  Haha.

MrMazda wow, my setup is pretty child's play compared to how yours handles power outages.  o___o  I haven't gotten ballsy enough to battery-back mine quite yet.  The reason I built mine into a toolbox was because LTE is very portable, and we do road-trips.  We have an AC outlet in the truck.  Anywhere my antennas get signal, I can get unlimited LTE thanks to Cyberonic + ITEL networks.

Both ISP will discuss tormenting with you on the phone.  In fact, their administration supports it, and the freedom of information.  That I just found very appealing, and worth the investment.  I asked, flat out  "Do you allow torrenting? I'm not making an investment if you don't."

My upload amount walks the walk for that talk.

My GOSH, you aren't kidding.  I'm faced with the SAME situation out here.  They absolutely REFUSE to update the lines out here.  Its copper circa 1960s.  The worst part being the ISP here does offer DSL, but it ends up being slower than dial-up as we 'are on a trunk line' being the excuse.  I had to seek out LTE solutions, we attempted Satellite, and found how much of a scam they really are.  The HughesNET advertisements go straight to the burn barrel (the middle of nowhere comes with processing your own trash, as you're aware).

I can definitely see that reflection from others.  When they see my set-up out here, its a 'holy crap, what a nerd' moment, until they have a crack at browsing the internet here.  Its most definitely a breath of fresh air to be able to watch their programs when they would like and on-demand (I don't just seed here).  Our neighbors made the same attempt, inspired by me, but it was a feeble one.  I told them they have to call up a few telecommunications contracting companies.  I got my grandfathered account from Cyberonics telecommunications, and have a packet bonder in a similar style to yours, but designed to handle things most definitely not PPoE.  They contract out unlimited LTE accounts to businesses and consumers.  Useful information to anyone wanting actual broadband in the middle of nowhere.  (DM me if you want referrals!)

Funnily enough, I built an air-cooled toolbox.  So this solution is pretty portable.

All the hardware aside the external antennas tucks right into it.  Airflow and custom-drilled ventalation holes to keep it all cool.     Called it the "Internet Attack Box"

I can relate to what you are saying.  The original questions sounds very n00bish to what I have done, now.  and hey!  I have a packet bonder, too.  I don't have the DSL failover, though, simply because DSL isn't available in our area. They either push 56k, or the solution of using limited, questionable satellite services in a national forest.  I was lucky my high dbm LTE antenna found a sweet spot.

I was lucky enough to be able to own a 250 octlet on the public IPv4, which is nice.  Though I've had complaints sometimes when I visit a website, I will be coming from 2-3 different IP addresses (nearly similar, one or two numbers off on the 4th octlet), but I guess thats how my bonder splits packets and load balances (if heavy or one of my pipes has issues).  I have two private subnets with a public crossover point through VPN.  I can see you aren't messing around, either.  Haha.

Big home LAN and subnetting ends up happening when you reach DHCP assignment limits because of clustered computing.  My paralella cluster takes 128 assignments, by itself.  Subnetting things off, load balancing, and fire-walling HAS to be a thing over here.

Thanks so much!  I'd already spoken in PM to you about this but thanks again!  0.1 recovery in one day even, with my download, that is near around 10 GB in 24 hours!

I noticed a "Software" category.  What types of software are acceptable to seed?  I'm a gamer, so I just have a ton of direct MultiMAN rips of PlayStation 3 titles laying around.

Wew, this post is old.  I'm so glad I got rid of Comcast.  I have a hardware VPN new and a lot more experience. (been doing CentOS and RedHat VPS as of late)  Haha, its entertaining to go over my old posts like this.  But thank you for the assistance.

I've been here several years, but never really managed to get around to the forums.  I have a dedicated seedbox that has as much uptime as my ISP will provide.  So do send your seed requests this way.  I have a particular interest in torrents that contain:

Cartoon (Some beastly Disney characters, video games, etc.)
Yaoi (Bishounen by stronger male figure is prefered)
3D engine casts (Yiffalicious, Second Life shader mod casts, etc.)
Furry Yiff art (I don't really condone seeding cub, but you do you)
Murrsuits

I'm doing a bit of ratio recovery at the moment over with the freeleeches (facepalm over his fstab permission error) but I should be able to provide, in time.

One of my raspberry pi execution cluster nodes is an NFS share + deluge-web and deluged daemon to function as a seedbox.  I logged in to check my ratio and noticed it had straight tanked to 0.799.  So I got in through Putty and was checking log files.  I found deluge throwing up Permission Denied errors, so I checked my nfs share.  I have it auto-fstab mounting at boot.  But I oh so conveniently, stupidly didn't set the mount point to mount as my user's uid, gid, meaning when I copied the files over from the qbittorrent seedbox in data migration, deluged could not read my ./Torrents/completed subdirectory and started redownloading every torrent I have ever started seeding because of Permission Denied problems.

This is bad.  If you've ever managed a seedbox or migrated, this is very, very ratio killing..

I fixed the fstab mount:

/dev/sda1       /media/SHARED   exfat   rw,noauto,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,permissions,locale=en_US.UTF-8,windows_names   0     0

double-checked the ownership on reboot:

loopyd@loopyd-rmtp:/media/SHARED/home/lupine/Downloads/torrents$ ls -l
total 1280
drwxrwxrwx 1 loopyd loopyd 262144 Sep 27 04:19 backups
drwxrwxrwx 1 loopyd loopyd 262144 Sep 27 04:38 complete
drwxrwxrwx 1 loopyd loopyd 262144 Sep 19 03:10 downloading
drwxrwxrwx 1 loopyd loopyd 262144 Sep 19 00:04 temp
drwxrwxrwx 1 loopyd loopyd 262144 Sep 27 04:30 watch

So now everything is able to be accessed by deluge.  But I need a ratio reset.  This misconfiguration is embarrassing.  I've been here several years doing this, and now not even Power User because apparently I can't fstab to save my life.   :-[

I loved flexget with the RSS reader until it straight up destroyed my ratio to the point of demotion.

If you aren't aware of flexget, its a nifty RSS enclosure downloader written in python:  https://flexget.com/
Why should this matter?  Well, only to Power Users:  https://www.gaytorrent.ru/getrss.php
I have it set up as a daemon on Windows 10.  Here's my yaml (sensitive info omitted):  https://pastebin.com/KXSr8Qve
and here are your instructions for windows service: flexget_headless.exe -L debug daemon start (every 7 days)

So is it worth it to run a seedbox like this?  Well, either my speeds are configured incorrectly, or…yeah.  Avg dload:  ~800 MB/day, avg. uload:  ~700 MB/day, giving me a lovely n00b ratio of 0.94 and auto-demoting me off of power user.  My ratio takes the piss on this one.

I am not ratio begging but this brings the question are seedboxes worth it for your ratio? I've left this thing running two weeks now.  I do have it performing a cleanup every 7 days (limited SSD space).  Think I should extend that?  But I'm used to torrents going dead after a week.

What settings would you recommend that would bring it up? I got all my downloads paused in favor of my seeds right now and on super seeding mode.  Ratio recovery sucks, and there's no freeleech category on the RSS.

I was just letting ya'll know since I'm a regular seeder here I've returned my ratio to 1.000 and my seedbox will be under maintenance for the duration of 2 weeks, as soon as my new workstation arrives from amazon.  I am a regular seeder here, a donator, so wish your respect on this matter.  I will return my seedbox to normal operation to seed as many I can across my gigabit connection as soon as I possibly can.  This will probably be within the timeframe of the next two weeks (as soon as I can buy a workstation and install Linux to properly manage my torrents, an ext4 filesystem and solid state hard drive are required).  Thank you for your understanding
