Update aria2.conf with 20 "best" BitTorrent trackers

#!/bin/bash
# Update the bt-tracker= line in aria2.conf
# Any bt-tracker= lines are removed and and a new one added at the bottom of the file

mv "$tmp" "$conf"

Does anyone have the sed-fu to replace all bt-tracker= lines rather than delete and append?

Does anyone have the sed-fu to replace all bt-tracker= lines rather than delete and append?

yes. try using sed like this instead:

# Replace bt-tracker= lines
sed -i -E "/^[[:space:]]*bt-tracker=/c bt-tracker=$trackers" "$conf" >| $tmp || die "Failed to update $conf"

There's a typo in line 14 (.conifg -> .config), thus breaking the script.

clearly this script hasn't even been tested if there's a typo in it.

trackers=$(curl --no-progress-meter "$url" | sed '/^$/d' | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/,$//') \

cp "$conf" "$conf.bak" || die "Failed to backup $conf"

# If bt-tracker= line exists, replace it; otherwise, append a new line
if grep -q '^[[:space:]]*bt-tracker=' "$conf"; then
    sed -i -E "/^[[:space:]]*bt-tracker=/c bt-tracker=$trackers" "$conf" || die "Failed to update $conf"
else
    echo -e "\nbt-tracker=$trackers" >> "$conf" || die "Failed to append to $conf"
fi

This has been tested on my computer. Hope it helps.

@kitty314 thanks. ☺
