I was expecting either what you've described or at least to have those trackers added when I click on the "Add trackers" button in the trackers panel at the bottom of the window. It seems now clear that anyway, I had a wrong expectation. Perhaps refining the labelling of the field "Tracker list URL" in "Menu Configuration > Configure kTorrent > Advanced" would help. I realise it is already somewhat protected by being placed in the "Advanced" section. However, some "quite advanced computer users" (like myself ;) ) who are used to play with advanced settings of many applications without problem may be clueless about the torrent protocol technicalities, the meaning of "infohash" (although I do work with file/data hashing and IPFS on a daily basis) or the fact that a "tracker list URL" field is only used for infohashes. I usually click on magnet links, which results in having a torrent with like 8-10 trackers. When there are very few seeders and the download is very slow or stalled, I manually copy/paste the trackers from newtrackon.com/api/stable, which most of the time results in having a few additional seeders and a better download rate. I was expecting the button "Add Trackers" to do it automatically by fetching the tracker list from the URL set in the "Tracker list URL" and adding the returned tracker. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
