Automatically add OpenBitTorrent as tracker to added torrent

[valberg@zxff.dk]

It would be awesome if there was an option in the preferences where one could choose to have the tracker urls from ​http://openbittorrent.com/ added automatically to added torrents.

I fail to see the value in this option? It seems as though you want to use that tracker as sort of backup in case the current tracker(s) fail? But in that case, the best solution would be to fallback to DHT, which Deluge already does if enabled.

I think having it added as a suggested tracker when creating a torrent wouldn't be a bad idea.

Yes please allow to add custom trackers by default.

@Andar the problem is that torrents created a long time ago (but still in circulation) sometimes come with a list of unreliable or defunct trackers (eg. demonoid).

I tried this plug-in ​https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/deluge-default-trackers but it wouldn't install in 1.3.6 (nothing happened).

plugin that allows you to create a list of default trackers that will be added to new torrents

Not exactly what you are looking for, but you could set up flexget to watch a folder for torrents, and have it add trackers to them before loading them in deluge.

This is covered by an existing plugin.

Cas, what plugin are you referring to? The one I linked doesn't work.

If you know a plugin which does work, please consider shipping it with Deluge.
