Remove Torrent Downloads?

[EyesOnly]

I apologize if this has already been answered, but I did a search and nothing came up. I put in an RSS feed to download some videos via Bittorrent. I have now watched them and want to delete the videos. I cleared all downloads in the download section, but the videos remain. How do I delete them? Is it in the menu and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks.

hi

what do you mean videos remain(inside Downloads) ..the files are moved after they have completly downloaded to videos>sources>boxee download ..if you want to remove the files from here you will need to access /users/<username>/Downloads/Boxee and remove them manually..

I have same problem... In the "Downloads" screen in Boxee, it shows all of my downloads. Even I choose one and select "Remove" and confirm, it still remains. I cant get rid of them.

same here, baksharp.

I assume this requires SSH into the ATV to remove them, which I have never attempted. Could someone provide instructions on how to to do this please?

open a terminal on your mac and type 'ssh <your atv ip addy here> -l frontrow'
here is how mine looks ssh 192.168.0.66 -l frontrow
of course your ip might be different.
you will be prompted for a password, it is frontrow.

from there you will need to cd to the appropriate directory and rm any unwanted files. You might have to use the sudo command to rm, not sure because I have never tried myself.

Thanks gene_mingo. I am able to get access to the ATV, but my knowledge with the terminal is extremely limited. Do you know what the file path is for where the ATV stores torrent downloads? Also, could you give an example of what I need to type to delete it with the rm command.

Thanks!

after you log into your ATV via ssh

1. cd Downloads/Boxee
2. rm nameoffile.whatever

if you get a message like you do not have permission after step two, then try:
sudo rm nameoffile.whatever

You will be prompted for your password once more so type frontrow again and hit enter. This should delete the files.

hope this helps. I would try it, but I am having difficulty getting the torrents to download on my ATV.

Yep, that did it! Thanks for the help.
