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?
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.
