Transmission Tips

After r1277 you can simply use removewhendone option

Transmission annoyingly do not have any way to easily remove completed torrents from it's UI. Luckily if you have transmission-remote installed you can script it.

Create an executable script named: transmission-cleanup.sh:

transmission-remote -l  | grep 100% | grep Done | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n 1 -J % ./transmission-remote -t % -r

Note: if you transmission is username/password protected add a --auth <user>:<password> to the above calls to transmission-remote.

Add this script to your crontab.
