Deluge
Hi all,
I'm not 100% sure if adding more trackers to a torrent actually speeds it up significantly, but it makes sense since it effectively means more peers. So I wrote a basic plugin that retrieves a list of trackers for a specific torrent (by its info hash). The source is here: https://github.com/geniass/MoarTrackers. It works; deluge has more trackers for each download now.
However, something quite strange happens. When I add a new torrent to deluge, a firefox window opens with 3 tabs: www.[the torrent's info hash].com, file:///home/[username]/[torrent name] and file:///[downloads folder]. I have absolutely no idea why this happens. I can't see anything obvious in my code so maybe it's a deluge bug (1.3.5)? I don't know.
