# This script will send Growl messages when a torrent removed with the help of netgrowl.py
# Michael Kuhn is the original creator of this script and it was published at http://blog.mckuhn.de/2007/10/sending-growl-notifications-from-python.html
# Rui Carmo is the creator of netgrowl.py and it was published at https://the.taoofmac.com/space/projects/netgrowl
#
# Instructions:
# * Set the ip address and the password (if one exist) of the Growl target.
# * At first run you'll need to registrate the script on the Growl target, just remove the comment.
# * After the initial registration you can comment the lines back.

# The best apporach when setting download folder is to have separate folders for SB, CP and other Transmission downloads.
# Add appropriate line to your crontab like "0 * * * * /usr/bin/transmission_clean.sh 1> /dev/null", this will initiate the script once an hour without logging.
