Torrent files can contain a comment string inside them. Very often this comment conrains a link to tracker page for this torrent. Is it possible to show this comment anywhere in the program window?

I think the trackers tab would be a good place now we have this new design.

What about creating a special "Torrent info" tab. With all technical info about torrent, i.e. creation date and software, comment, piece length. May be it is possible to implement this as a plugin

This has nothing to do with the trackers tab, so it doesn't fit in there.

As for the technical information tab, well that has the same drawbacks as a properties dialog, 99 % of the information in it, is already presented somewhere else.

Mey be it would be better to consolidate all technical info about torrent on one new page. Because now it is sometimes difficult to find requered info, also most of the torrent clients always have special page with full technical info.

This is how it is implemented in linkage client. Required information is all visible and doesn't take much space

Well I've seen and used comments when creating my own in Ktorrent so I don't see what the problem is
