Lazyweb: Web-based BitTorrent Client?
I need a web-based BitTorrent client that’s suck-free.
TorrentFlux is close, but not that close. It’s PHP, and that sucks. The “stable” version is a year old and bug-riddled, and the beta under active development isn’t really any more stable, and that sucks. Its interface kinda sucks. Did I mention PHP?
My ideal solution is written in Python. It runs on Linux. It speaks a current version of the BitTorrent protocol. It works like this:
- I run it and it toddles off into daemon-land.
- I ask for http://localhost:9999 or whatever port I told it to run on and I see a pretty “web page”.
- I either upload torrent files or feed it URLs to torrents.
- It downloads said torrents to a local directory of my choosing.
- Detailed status is displayed for each torrent in a clean, readable way.
- Completed torrents automatically start seeding.
- Torrents can be paused, stopped, and deleted.
- It doesn’t fuck up, screwing up my ratios and requiring entirely too much manual intervention.
Thoughts? Recommendations? “DIY, jerk”?
