Flood: [Request] The ability to add trackers

[sachk]

Hey, i love this webui, the one thing that i think is missing is the ability to add trackers from the trackers panel in torrent details. The ability to add a list of trackers by default would also be nice. Thanks to all the contributors to this project.

What do you mean by "The ability to add a list of trackers by default would also be nice."? Does this mean you want the ability to add a preset list of trackers to every torrent added? Honestly I've never needed to do this, so I'm just trying to understand the use case.

rtorrent probably provides a method for this. If somebody could do the research on this, that would be awesome.

[sachk]

Yes, you're correct. Sorry for not making it clearer.

[jfurrow]

No worries @sachk, thanks for the issue!

rtorrent has d.tracker.insert="5","udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80" but it isn't saved in the session so it will get lost after a restart. Here is the issue with more info. I don't think anything has changed.

rutorrent has the edit plugin to add the trackers and the retrackers plugin to autoadd trackers when torrent is uploaded. The edit plugin works by deleting the torrent and readd it with the edited trackers.

Wow, @squaresmile thanks so much for looking into this (and providing links). :heart:

Flood should probably do the same thing that ruTorrent does. I'll keep this issue open to track this task.

+1 for this. It is a really useful feature.

Any chance to get just a basic add button meanwhile, persistence could be added later?

Just discovered Flood, coming from rutorrent. +1 for the ability to add and remove trackers like the "edit trackers" plugin and the retrackers plugin for rutorrent.

Really hope we can see this soon, really loving the look of Flood. Keep up the good work

Bump, still interested in this. Also, not adding trackers to torrents set as private like qbittorrent does would be nice.
