[Libtorrent-devel] Setting up multiple/conditional event.download.finished?

[Balaji Dutt]

Hi all,

Okay so this took a little bit of time to figure out and I apologize for
being so slow.

I had initially setup the branch condition like so:

system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,check_custom1,"branch=d.get_custom1=,d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1=,d.set_directory=/var/torrent_downloads/completed/"

Since a branch command executes any command you send it, it was actually
"setting" the base_directory path to a new folder before the move happened!

So when I next tried to execute a move command using this:

system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,move_complete,"execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1="

This would fail with all sorts of weird errors. Finally figured it out only
when I looked at the Info->Directory data after a failed move.

The workaround was pretty simple, I just used the custom2 variable as a
place holder for the path. So:

system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,check_custom1,"branch=d.get_custom1=,d.set_custom2=$d.get_custom1=,d.set_custom2=/var/torrent_downloads/completed/"
system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,move_complete,"d.set_directory=$d.get_custom2=
;execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom2="

And voila! no more errors and the torrent continues to seed after
downloading. Yay! :)
