qBittorrent http proxy for .torrent files

[cumlord]

something i just noticed testing to see if the bulk add from favorites thing on simp (using .torrent file) was working right, didn't seem to work without the http proxy enabled.

if you want to download .torrent files directly instead of using the magnet link, looks like qbittorrent might use the http proxy for that.

downloading with the magnet link (from tracker2 anyway) has the disadvantage of only giving you postman as a tracker, but usually the .torrent file will come with other ones. better to have some opentrackers in the mix

adding magnets is fine, but if you want to add a bunch of .torrent files from postman at once so you get more trackers besides tracker2, looks like it needs http proxy for now

is this what you guys are seeing?

For magnet links, copy them into a text document or something and add something along the lines of

Code: Select all

&tr=http://opentracker-actix.i2p/a&tr=http://omitracker.i2p/announce.php&tr=http://opentracker.skank.i2p/a&tr=http://i32bdpbyflc5l7ibhqmq7f72gglflrd6sgnmlqj6xsdjis5yjuga.b32.i2p/announce&tr=http://opentracker.eeptorrent.i2p/a&tr=http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/a&tr=http://6kw6voy3v5jzmkbg4i3rlqjysre4msgarpkpme6mt5u2jw33nffa.b32.i2p/announce&tr=http://opentracker.simp.i2p/a&tr=http://opentracker.r4sas.i2p/a&tr=http://opentracker.fattydove.i2p/a

after

Code: Select all

&tr=http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php

which should be at the end if you got the magnet link from Postman.

Then use that new magnet link instead.

This didn't work with i2psnark when I tried it a few versions ago (it seems to only read the first tracker in the list for some reason), but it should work with pretty much any other torrent client.

The syntax is simple. For each tracker, add

Code: Select all

&tr=

followed by the announce url.

imo easier to paste a list of links of the torrent file into qbittorrent, then there's no extra steps compared to using the magnet, but this is a good workaround if you don't want the http proxy. it wouldn't be hard write a script to just do this especially since it's variable what trackers uploaders include, or ig you could mass edit them later

True, lazy implementation, will see if it can be fixed up

It requires login to view issues. I don't think that is correct, is that on purpose?

Good Luck!

While you're at it, you may want to try to figure out why, after adding trackers, the previously selected primary tracker is sometimes no longer in the list of used trackers. This seems to always happen when adding magnet links, while .torrent files don't seem to have this issue. If restarting the client between adding the magnet link (and letting it start) and modifying the list of trackers, this also doesn't seem to happen.
