It would be nice to have the feature, of allowing Ktorrent to monitor a DIR, as soon as a .torrent is found, t should be imported and started, or maybe add an option to start the torrents queued also.

Would be nice to see this, till then btlaunchmanycurses.py, good work BTW.

Would be nice, but is it really that usefull ? It should be pretty easy to add a plugin to do this, but my time is short and I have bigger things to do at the moment.

A plugin would work too.

I think this is really usefull as I have many scripts listening in IRC for the announcment of .torrent releases, once they are released, it is auto-downloaded into a DIR, btlaunchmanycurses monitors this DIR and picks up any torrent in there.

Very usefull!

This feature would really be welcomed.

I have just started to use KTorrent again, and I am inpressed with the progress you guys have made.

If you have any time spare, a plugin or monitor option would be great!

Thanks in advance

The plugin is allready there, I plan on integrating it more with KT so it auto scans files allready on the download location.

Wouldn't having the .torrent file association set to Ktorrent, thus allowing the .torrent to be loaded into Ktorrent straight from the web browser instead of downloading it to the harddrive be even more convient?

A script for this would be trivial without even running a plugin.

Write a script that lists the files in the directory, and for every torrent file in the directory, does a dcop to ktorrent to tell it to load the file, then moves the file to another directory.

Then you just put that script into your crontab and have it run every 10 minutes or whatever.

This has to be at least 10 times easier than writing a script which checks RSS feeds and downloads those automatically.
