I’m running a similar script, and it’s great. Takes a minute to find less popular films, but broadly works fine.

    I’m sure there must be a torrent client that downloads things in-order and also seeds, but apparently the one this script is using (“peerflix”) doesn’t. Here is one of several open issues on the subject from 8 years ago where the author (who is a prolific javascript library author, btw) says he would have no problem with it being the default… and then asks for a PR that never came.

      I’d really like to continue seeding while I watch my downloaded video;

      That’s better… but a week seems more sustainable.

      I suppose the best result would be to cut if anything has more than 20 seeders, keep for a week if it has 5, and seed forever while is has 1 or 2. I’m mostly worried about torrent health on the old book collections I occasionally download.
