Adding torrents from URL in WebUI: Cookies?

Post by psychicv »

Hi. I am trying to work out how to add torrents in the WebUI by URL from private torrent sites. I tried supplying the URI to my cookies file, which didn't seem to work. I also tried copying the appropriate lines from the cookies file and pasting them in the cookies field, but no dice there either. Couldn't find anything through google or forum search that helped. Anyone know what to do?

I am using version 1.3.900-dev from GIT. My OS is Arch Linux x86_64.

Thanks.

Most private trackers require a uid and a pass, so your cookie line will look something like:

Code: Select all

uid=1234;pass=5678
the important thing to note is that the key, value pairs are separated by semi-colons (;) and that keys are assigned to values by an equal sign (=).

[edit]
as a side note, most private trackers don't accept dev builds of torrent clients.
so you may get a "banned client" message.
