Inspiration
I download a lot of torrent files and I wanted a convenient, simple way to add them on the go
What it does
Checks a dropbox folder every few minutes and downloads new torrent files and adds them to transmission and then sends a notification with either email or pushbullet
How I built it
I built it using python with the dropbox api and the transmissionrpc python library as well as the pushbullet library and smtplib
Challenges I ran into
We started with using a library that was later found to be 5 years old. The csrf session token would expire immediately and it would lead to a function which would call a deprecated method
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I made something I will actually use
What I learned
How to work with the dropbox api
What's next for Dropbox Torrent Autosnatch
I plan to expand on the script to fit my needs
