Script: Temporary stop P2P transfers and surf Web at full speed

How to transfer files and while mantaining perfect webbrowsing speeds?

There exist programs like Cfosspeed and Netlimiter that allow high-speed websurfing while transferring files but they are not freeware, consume memory, and don't give perfect speeds like next script:

Powerful solution is to start/stop transfers when using webrowser.

Little script runs in background and stops transfers while webrowser is active. Script keeps surf speed perfect.

Run this bash script at (linux) startup:

#!/bin/bash
while true  

do

sleep 12

b=$(printf '%x\n' $(xdotool getactivewindow))

a=0x0

ab=$a$b

#echo $ab

browserID=$(wmctrl -l | grep -m 1 "Firefox" | awk '{ print $1 }')

#echo $browserID

if [ "$ab" = "$browserID" ]

then

        #echo browser active, shutting down transmisssion

        (ps ax | grep -v grep | grep transmission) #check if transmission

        if [ "$?" -eq 0 ];

        then

        b=$(xwininfo -name Transmission | grep Window\ id:\ | awk '{print $4}')     #get progr$

        xvkbd -xsendevent -window $b -text "\Cq" #send keystroke to quit program

        echo off send to transmission

        sleep 100

        fi

else

#echo browser not active

(ps ax | grep -v grep | grep transmission) #check if transmission

if [ "$?" -ne 0 ];

then

nohup transmission&

sleep 8

echo

fi

fi

echo

done

Please change Transmission to yout p2p-clients name and Firefox to your browser.

To make application start invisibly send it to other desktop:
transmissio&
altdesktop=`wmctrl -d | grep "-" | awk '{ print $1 }'`
sleep 0.5
#repeat next lines few times
wmctrl -R Transmission -t $altdesktop&
wmctrl -r Transmission -t $altdesktop&
sleep 0.1
