Terminating transaction-cli

Question

I am using ruby script to download bitcoin bootstrap.dat file.

#!/usr/bin/ruby env

`transmission-cli https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent`

Now I run that script

root@master:~# ruby demo

The script is getting hanged and the file is not getting download.

Answer 1

You can use the -f, -finish <script> which executes a script when the download is completed:

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

chmod a+x $tmpfile

echo "killall transmission-cli" > $tmpfile

transmission-cli -f $tmpfile your.torrent

You could also use rtorrent which has more options.
