i want to remove specific trackers from all my torrents (they’re discontinued), it’s not doable with a per-torrent method as i would never finish.
I’m using qbittorrent v5.0.3 WebUI, i cannot just select the trackers i wish to remove under the “trackers” pane in the left side as it only allows me to remove all torrents with this tracker (i do not wish to remove the torrents), and not remove the tracker.
how can i remove these trackers from all my torrents easily, while keeping the torrents for seeding?
Heres a python script I made up from just modifying another script I use, it depends on qbittorrent-api, but to use just fill out the connection info and add all the trackers you want to remove in the
TRACKERS
array, I’ve included 2 rarbg trackers just as an example.#!/usr/bin/env python3 import qbittorrentapi import sys TRACKERS = [ "udp://9.rarbg.to:2770/announce", "udp://9.rarbg.me:2730/announce" ] conn_info = dict( host = "qbittorrent.localhost", port = 80, username = "admin", password = "PASSWORD" ) def main (argv, argc): qbt_client = qbittorrentapi.Client(**conn_info) try: qbt_client.auth_log_in() except qbittorrentapi.LoginFailed as e: print(e) return 1 for torrent in qbt_client.torrents_info(): #urls = [] #for tracker in torrent.trackers: #print(tracker) #urls.append(tracker.url) torrent.remove_trackers(urls=TRACKERS) #torrent.add_trackers(urls=TRACKERS) qbt_client.auth_log_out() return 0 if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(main(sys.argv, len(sys.argv)))
Is there any benefit to that aside from cleanliness?
Yeah :) I recently switched to a private tracker and qbittorrent was way to much cluttered with public trackers.
If you are on different private trackers and try to keep it clean and easier to find what torrent belongs to what private tracker, its better ton only have those tracker in your list.
I would also like to know this.
