I'm trying to figure out how to pause and unpause ktorrent from cli (Ktorrent 3.2.1).

I've got cron running some rsyncs in a bashscript and all I want to do is add the pause ktorrent at the start of the bash script and unpause it at the end of the script.

I have tried

qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setPaused true

but that actually stops them and

qdbus org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core setPaused false

doesn't unpause them they just sit there marked as completed


Any insight would be appreciated.

This is a bug in qdbus, it always sends true no matter what you pass as parameter.

Do you know if a bug has been reported about this to the KDE guys?

It needs to be reported to trolltech (Qt people), I'm not sure if this was reported.

This worked to unpause

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.ktorrent.ktorrent /core org.ktorrent.core.setPaused boolean:false
