dcop for the stats. Download rate and up rate. For superkaramba themes or other scripts.

Thanks

It's certainly possible to do this. Which stats do you want ?

Total Download Rate, Total Upload rate, total downloaded and total uploaded in sesion, for example.

Thanks

I think something like this would be pretty cool (ordered by importance, most important first):

dcop KTorrent ...

totalDownloadSpeed or just downloadSpeed // in byte/sec
totalUploadSpeed
totalDownloaded // byte
totalUploaded
--
torrents // return torrentId list of torrents, separated with newline, for example:
1
2
3

runningTorrents or activeTorrents // return torrentId list of active torrents, for example (2 is inactive):
1
3

torrentName(int torrentId) // return "File" field
torrentComplete(int torrentId) // for example: 34.25
--
torrentDownloadSpeed(int torrentId)
torrentUploadSpeed(int torrentId)
--
torrentStatus(int torrentId)
torrentDownloaded(int torrentId)
torrentUploaded(int torrentId)
torrentSize(int torrentId)
--
torrentStop(int torrentId)
torrentStart(int torrentId)
torrentRemove(int torrentId)
torrentAnnounce(int torrentId)
--
etc.

I was just thinking about extending the dcop interface in basically the way you said, and then writing a console application that made it easy to interact with KTorrent when ssh'd in.

If the devs have other things to work on or aren't interested in this feature, I would be glad to work on this.

I have no problem with that, we accept patches. I have bigger things to do so, if somebody else does this, that's fine by me.

My take on what should be impemented:

getInfo()
returns all the info shown in the statusbar
getTorrentNumbers(type)
1=downloads 2=uploads 3=all, returns the torX dir # of a torrent
getTorrentInfo(tornumber)
this would return all the info shown in the torrent list area
getFileCount(tornumber)
return number of files in the torrent
getFileNames(tornumber)
returns a list of all the files in the torrent
getFilePriorities(tornumber)
returns priorities for each file
setFilePriority(tornumber, fileindex, priority)
sets the priority of a file
start(tornumber)
stop(tornumber)
remove(tornumber)
announce(tornumber)

Pretty much everything you see / can do in the torrent list and the infowidget file view is covered here or is already implemented. Not listed here are the things you can see / change on the other tabs of the infowidget plugin and queue manager stuff.

If you think I missed anything important please post it here.

Maybe the name of each torrent. Numbers do not really say much.

My idea is getTorrentNumbers basically returns indexes, and you call getTorrentInfo() for each index to get the name, status, etc. for the torrent. So a little console application would do: (ignoring dcop stuff)

QValuelist<unsigned char> tornumbers = getTorrentNumbers(3);
QValuelist<unsigned char>::iterator i = tornumbers.begin();
while(i != tornumbers.end())
{
QStringList infoz = getTorrentInfo(tornumber);
output the torrent index, status, and name on one line
output the d/l rate, u/l rate, peers, size, time left, etc on the next
i++;
}

Then someone would type in the number of the torrent they wanted to manipulate and select an action from a list. That seems like the best way to me.

Torrent numbers are "unique" or just 1-[number of torrents]? How about I remove torrent #1. Renumber or start with #2?

The number would be based on its torX directory, and we allways take the next available, so 1 will be reused by the next torrent you start.

I've written a patch to add the functionality talked about here. It's attached to:
