[SOLVED]new plugin for Ktorrent ?

[voxel]

Hello folks ^^)

Would it be possible to see in the near future a new plugin for KTorrent that would ease the global ban of bad trackers from loaded torrents ?

I know that there is the tick box in the trackers tab of each torrents, but it would be far better to be able to ban bad/dead trackers globally and see it
deactivated at once for all torrents where it appears.

would it be possible ? would be great!

Thanks by advance,
Jeff

reply to myself,

the IP filter does not work at all for this as it refuse plain urls as entry (((((

Not clear what you mean. Is there a plugin available that you want to see in Mageia? Could you give a link? Do you want a complete new Ktorrent feature? Dependent on this information you could either file a package request at Mageia bugtracker (if there is a plugin for Ktorrent available) or file a feature request at KDE bugtracker (if you want a new feature).

Hello ^^)

I've searched and hasn't found any other plugins for KTorrent than the ones that are already in it, in the Mageia version.

So yes it's a new feature I would like to see added

so I go to the kde bugtracker for this, thanks ^^)

[voxel]

done, let's see what happens ^^)

Dear voxel

For completeness, you could add link to that bug here.

And please edit the headline of first post in this topic, putting [SOLVED] in front.

This is the link to the KDE bug:

It seems that a similar feature to manage several tracker URL at once was removed long time ago:

@morgano:

Oups! you're right I forgot it sorry

@sturmvogel :
Thanks a lot

BTW, the bug you point to is not what I want,
in the case of dead or bad trackers I don't want Change their URL, I want to permanently tick it as 'Ignore' or 'deactivate' so KTorrent does not try to open it.

right now you can do it for each torrent one at a time but as soon as you close that torrent the 'ban' is lost and you have to redo it each time you add a new torrent painfull and loss of time.

with a 'ban' tracker database ? system it would be done once and stay in the prefs of KTorrent, so when you add a new torrent all the bad/dead trackers will be auto 'removed/deactivated' and only the live trackers will be checked for pairs ^^)

added benefit : a lot less queries to inexistant URLs --> less traffic on the net and less traces
