Torrent Preview On Magnet Links & Tracker Management

Post by Blackhole »

When downloading magnet links, please add a preview option where you can select the list of files you want to download and skip the ones you don't want to download in the new update that is in development. In utorrent, if we click on magnet links and wait a few seconds, the list of files appears and we can select which ones to download and which ones to skip. However, this is not possible with deluge.
.
Also one more thing. There is an option for adding trackers named "Edit Trackers". Through this option, we can add extra trackers to torrents. We can select multiple torrents and add trackers to all of them or that is how it should be working but it is not.

In the screenshots above, you'll see after adding trackers to all the torrents, if we click on Edit trackers again it shows that all the trackers have been added. But after selecting a random torrent and clicking Edit Trackers, the trackers have not been added. There is a plugin called default trackers that lets us add trackers to any new torrent automatically and that actually works but I also use private torrent sites and this automatic adding option becomes a bit of pain because to add a private torrent in the list I have to delete the trackers from the automatic add option, and again re-add them when I need it. I ask the developers to fix this issue as well.

I don't know about the trackers issue, but magnet-prefetching is already added to deluge 2.0.3, unfortunetly not officially released yet for windows. There's still a bug though, where it doesn't work for some reason in thinclient-mode, only in standalone/classic mode, but i'm pretty sure I have submitted a bug-ticket about that, along time ago, so hopefully will be looked into when time/manpower permits.

There is a tracker issue. Suppose you selected 50 torrents and hit the "Edit Trackers" option and added new trackers to existing ones. Now you would normally expect all the 50 torrents to have the newly added trackers but they don't. Only one of them has it, specifically the last torrent you selected before hitting Ctrl+A to select all torrents.

Sorry, bad wording on my part, and I just meant that I didn't knew if was fixed already or not, in contrary to the magnet-prefetching issue(except thinclient mode still buggy).

I tested the tracker issue just now in deluge 2.0.3 and latest git-develop build also, and sadly still is an issue there, unfortunetly. I'd suggest submitting a bug ticket for best chance of getting it fixed.
