Feature request: report different ip address

Post by maveyo »

Hey there,

thanks for this nice torrent client. I really like it, but I got a little problem.
I am running a bittorrent tracker and a client on the same machine (private subnet) behind a NAT firewall.
Some clients, e.g. bittornado, provide the parameter "--ip" thus it is possible to send the tracker the public ip address.
I suggest this feature for a future release because it comes in really handy.
It could be implemented somewhere in the configuration, maybe under the daemon section.
Or could I hack it by myself? Where would I have to start?

What do you think?

cheers,
daniel

edit:
After some consideration, I think, this feature is not needed actually.
It is much more suitable to hack the tracker's code for such setups.
Did that and it works.
Deluge is great! (Have I already mentioned that?)
