in case of a power outage,
once power is back, and the router reboots
i would like,
either,
to run a script at boot (that will check the time and pause all torrents or not) for transmission-daemon
or
to just pause all torrents that were running in transmission-daemon before the power outage
thanks
edit: im on OpenWrt 21.02.3 r16554-1d4dea6d4f
Is EOL, you should upgrade.
Don't autostart the transmission service on boot ?
this version is stable and best performance on my device, latest isn't, unfortunately (but id rather not debate it in this thread :/)
Oooo, never thought of this, nice!
Will disable it i startup and then launch it manually! Will be a pain to restart it manually since a lot of power cuts, but is definitely a option, thanks
Is there any other way you would suggest?
There's probably a setting in transmission so it won't auto resume old torrents when started.
no, at least, i haven't seen it in in json settings or transmission luci
there is an option "Automatically start added torrents" which Ive unchecked

No access to transmission atm, but another option might be to set the max UL and DL speeds to 0.
if I set max upload and max download to 0
then activate alternative speed limit of up/dl to say 100 and the power goes out
when the router boots back up, alternative speed limits is still activated
but, this too, nice,
i currently am using
transmission-remote --torrent all --start
and
transmission-remote --torrent all --stop
to start and stop torrent download between 12am to 6am
problem is if the power goes out at 5:55am and power comes back at 6:05am it will continue downloading
Edit:
No, wait, alternative speed limits turns off on boot, nice, this too is a great option, thanks, let me know if you think of anything else, thanks
thanks, this works and is a cleaner solution!
is there a better way,
this way,
im giving out my ip to all the peers of those torrents all day although im up 0 and dl 0
Edit:
ok, so it doesn't
You can always handle it all through a firewall rule, no need to play around with the transmission settings at all.
ok, that would be best, can you help me as to how i can do that, thanks
You probably already have a rule for allowing the transmission traffic through the firewall?
no, i havent made any rules for transmission, port is always closed, but it still works 
do you mean something like this with timer settings
this seems the best solution atm!
Drop all outgoing traffic on whatever transmission ports you use.
thank you, appreciate your time 
Security is part of the stability for any device, especially if you're adding server tasks with a huge attack surface to the outside (transmission), it's not optional (even if that may entail a hardware replacement, the used markets might come in handy).
noted, moving back to the pi for things like transmission
router is on the latest build
thanks
