Hi everyone,
Now that magnet uris have gained popularity I noticed there's no (obvious) way to make new torrents nonmanaged. It's easy with .torrent files with AutoAdd, but magnet uris are different.

Maybe it's time to make a global setting to disable auto managed functionality if preferred? Or is there a plugin for this. I couldn't find one, though.

TIA

Autoadd supports magnet uris in a '.magnet' text file so it is still possible to do.

I do not think that libtorrent has a global option to turn it off so it would be on a per torrent basis as the auto add plugin currently implements.

That was news to me, and it seems to work alright. So, thanks

I wrote this kind of helper script to make browser handle the uris properly:

Code: Select all

% cat handle_magnets.sh
#!/bin/bash
mf=`tempfile -d /path/to/watchdir/ -s ".magnet"`
echo "$1" > "$mf"
