Cross-Up

Cross-Up is an automatic reupload and cross-seed script designed for use with torrent clients like qBittorrent and rTorrent. This tool relies on Cross-seed, Autobrr/RSS feeds, and L4G Upload-Assistant.

Overview

Cross-Up automates the process of reuploading completed torrents and initiating cross-seeding to maintain torrent availability and distribution. It is particularly useful for torrent users who manage large collections and want to ensure the longevity and availability of their content.

Features

• Automatically triggers reupload and cross-seeding processes upon torrent completion.
• Supports integration with torrent clients' 'Run external program on torrent completion' feature.
• Utilizes Cross-seed, Autobrr/RSS feeds, and L4G Upload-Assistant for efficient management of torrents.
• Provides flexibility through customizable configuration options.

Prerequisites

• Cross-seed Daemon: Cross-seed must be set up in Daemon mode for Cross-Up to function properly.
• Torrent Client Configuration:
  • For qBittorrent, configure it to execute Cross-Up upon torrent completion. Add the following command to the 'Run external program on torrent completion' section:

/usr/bin/python3 -u /path/to/cross-up.py "%F" "%L" "%I"`

%F: Content path

%L: Category for the torrents to be reuploaded

%I: InfoHash of the torrent for cross-seeding

• For rTorrent, follow these steps:
  1. Add the following line to your .rtorrent.rc file to define a method for retrieving the label:

     echo 'method.insert=label.get_label,simple,"d.custom1="' >> ~/.rtorrent.rc

  2. Add the following line to set up the execution of cross-up.py:

     echo 'method.set_key=event.download.finished,cross_seed,"execute={/usr/bin/python3,-u,/path/to/cross-up.py,--data-path=,$d.get_base_path=,--label=,$d.custom1=,--hash=,$d.hash=}"' >> ~/.rtorrent.rc

     Ensure to replace /path/to/cross-up.py with the actual path to your Python script.

Usage

1. Ensure that the config.cfg file is properly configured to specify the desired behavior of Cross-Up.
2. Configure your torrent client(s) to invoke Cross-Up upon torrent completion as described in the Prerequisites section.
3. Monitor Cross-Up's execution logs to ensure proper functioning and troubleshoot any issues if necessary.

Configuration

Before using Cross-Up, make sure to configure the config.cfg file according to your preferences. This file contains settings such as clients, trackersm category/label mappings, and other parameters used by the script.

TO-DO

• Implement functionality to trigger Cross-Up upon category change in qBittorrent.
• Add support for additional torrent clients and seeding platforms.
• Enhance error handling and logging to improve reliability and ease of troubleshooting.
