Is it possible to write a plugin which checks for already existing torrents? So that multible users are warned with "The torrent already exists".
I think that would be really nice to have?

No, only a name-check of the torrent.
example:
One User loads "centos-5.2-i386-server"
I want to load the same and when I add the torrent, a popup window appears with "The torrent already exists!"
Me: --> "oh, it's already existing .. I don't have to load it a second time"
Like in torrentflux, if anyone knows it.

But the name of the torrent may vary according to the tracker or the version:
centos-5.2-i386-server-my.tracker.com.iso
centos-5.2-i386-server-my.secondtracker.com.iso
www.mytracker.com-centos-5.2-i386-server.iso
The system recognizes as different torrents but they are the same.
And if you check only a part of the name doesn't work either:
Let's say you check the first 10 characters
centos-5.2-i386-server.iso (can be centos-5.2-i386-server.iso / centos-5.2-amd64-server.iso)
The system recognizes centos-5.2 but are different versions
And if you check the HASH of every torrent, when you have certain amount of torrents (lets say a hundred) it will take a lot of resources to do the work.
You have to check a lot of variants.
centos-5.2-i386-server-my.tracker.com.iso
centos-5.2-i386-server-my.secondtracker.com.iso
www.mytracker.com-centos-5.2-i386-server.iso

Possible. And something like that is already exist - plugin named 'multirpc'.
Description:
This is a integration solution for several users, who work at the some hosting.
With this plugin user can
- See torrents, owned by another users. And run some core commands (start, stop, etc) for its.
- Mark torrents as 'visible' or 'hidden' for another users.
- When user add a new torrent, plugin check another users first - may be, he already have a data files for this torrent. In this case, plugin will not download data, it simple copy (or hardlink) its from existing.
Of course, plugin has a lot of configurable options (which commands are enabled, is user can see passkeys, is user can see 'hidden' torrents etc).
Prerequests:
- Each user must have a separate rtorrent instance.
- All rtorrent instances must have a some version.
- All rtorrent instances must run on the some host.
Cost: $50.
