Feature Request: Number of peers in queued torrents

Post by alessandro_ufms »

The numbers of peers in queued torrents is 0 ever. I think it will be useful to display the number of peers (seeds and lechers) of the tracker. For example 0(2300)

there's no way to do this without making the torrent active, which pretty much invalidates the queue system :p if we request the tracker for the info, it'd list us as active peer and people would try to connect to us. at the very least this would increase protocol overhead, since we'd be rejecting a bunch of connections. it's just tricky. i see how it'd be nice to see, though, so dont take this as a put-down of your idea or anything :)

you could make that field blank when it's queued to avoid confusion.
