"status file" or plugin interface

[RuLorZ]

hi,

would be great to get information about the current process of downloads
for external programs. i think a simple xml file would do the job.

i'd like to have the status bar informations in this file or another way to get these informations:
limit, current speed, queue size, ETA and free space.

would love this tool even more if something like that is possible!

cheers

[edit]
if possible it would be great to pause and resume alt.binz somehow.
status flag in the xml file?

not a good idea, or already coding?

To be honest, I didn't completly understand purpose of this? What external programs? Irc clients ?

[RuLorZ]

not important which external program. just the possibilty of getting these informations from alt.binz would be great. cause of that an xml file is ok.
just export the current status of alt.binz to that file.

in my special case i'd like to sent these informations (limit, current speed, queue size, ETA and free space. ) to my always running linux server and
populate these informations as a website or RSS feed. so at work i can see from the status of alt.binz at home. just one possibility if alt.binz could offer these informations.

for example this xml file in alt.binz directory, updated every second if queue isnt empty:

Code: [Select]


<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<altbinz>
  <title>alt.binz status</title>
  <description>Stats from alt.binz</description>
  <limit>No limit</limit>
  <CurrentSpeed>480 kB/s</CurrentSpeed>
  <QueueSize>4870 MB</QueueSize>
  <ETA>0d 1h 12m 18s</ETA>
  <FreeSpace>9,78 GB</FreeSpace>
  <connect>true</connect>
</altbinz>


the <connect> is to be read from alt.binz. if <connect>false</connect> is set, for example from my website, alt.binz should disconnect. if <connect> is later set to true, alt.binz should reconnect.

hope you can understand what im trying do tell you.
it's meant a bit like a download server.
