Description
It would be nice if transmission could perform either of the following actions upon completion of a torrent:
- Remove .torrent file from disk
- Remove the torrent from the GUI list
Attached is a quick mockup of what this could look like in the preferences pane.

I honestly don't see this happening. Transmission does not maintain a connection to the torrent file when added, so that option doesn't make sense. The other option, to remove from the list after completion, I don't see being desirable for enough users.

says crashlanding:
After a torrent has finished downloading and seeding, it's still in the torrent list and needs to be manually removed. I think a lot of people would like to remove it automatically, making Transmission completely autonomous and capable of functioning in the background.
The developers suggested that not a lot of people want this feature, but I disagree. Auto-add, auto-seed, and auto-complete are possible, so why not auto-delist?

I could see of a way to implement this. Add an option in the application preferences globally to remove torrents when they hit their share ratio. Then have an option in the Inspector/Properties? window under Options to remove it when sharing finishes which does not follow the global setting.
I could see myself using this but I don't consider it high priority for myself.

I would also vote for this - but ALSO moving the completed file(s)/folder to another folder (e.g. completed_downloads), and the torrent file to another folder (e.g. completed_torrents) as it works in Bittorrent.

ticket #3053 closed as a duplicate of this.
I also agree that it would be nice to have this. This is especially useful for those using 3rd party extensions such as automatic. If you have torrents being added by a feed the list can be long and it would be nice to see only active torrents.

- Keywords patch-needed added; Automatic Daemon Moving Completed Torrents seeding complete removed
I'm neutral on this ticket and livings is against it.
Unless someone wants to write a patch for this, it's probably not going to be added to Transmission.

#3250 is a duplicate of this.
comment:12 Changed 12 years ago by ichiban
hope this is added soon. this is very necessary for automation so once finished seeding the item can be removed from the list.
comment:13 Changed 12 years ago by livings124
#3612 covers moving the data on completion.
comment:14 Changed 12 years ago by livings124
#4020 overlaps with this
comment:15 Changed 11 years ago by akira28
My two cents: the second part of the ticket (Remove the torrent from the GUI list) discourages seeding, so I would suggest not to implement it.
comment:16 Changed 11 years ago by aonez
You can show/hide items in the list by status... So you can easily know with ones are active or done. I'll not use this feature but maybe some people will.
comment:17 Changed 11 years ago by JustMe
This feature would be a great feature. Not all people use Torrents for sharing files to people and requires seeding.
The ability to use BIT based xfers if very relative.. if you want to move or sync large files with low cost bandwidth this tool has great value.
I would much rather support an OSX application.
Thank you for consideration.
