Original post:

Since community members have been so kind to offer a bounty for a torrents plugin, I went to work on it right away.
Almost all the things you can see below are already working, but there are still some important things missing, like the local signing of transactions, so I can't release it for testing quite yet.

As you can see, it's possible to get some additional info on torrents. This includes seeder/leecher numbers (obtained from getstrike.net) and "FakeSkan" from bitsnoop.com. With this info you'll know whether a torrent is active and whether it's a fake. These external requests are only made after manual action by the user.

Filename and mime type are automatically detected when selecting a local file.

Some questions:

- For channels/categories, I've come up with audio, video, text, image, software and other. Anything missing?
- The community was asking specificallly for a torrents plugin. However, it can easily also display and upload other types of data. Should this be possible, or should it be torrent-only?
- I've named the plugin just "Torrents". If it's not torrent-only, it should probably be named differently. Could anyone come up with a catchier name than "prunable tagged data"?

Any feedback is welcome (especially by those who pledged for the bounty

).

Many thanks to Jean-Luc for coming up with this feature and (once again) producing a very usable API.

Very Nice!
Great Work!

Great! Higher the quality of the plugin, the better. Feel free to do the best you can think of. Do you plan to make it opensource?

Sebastien256 · « **Reply #3 on:** April 29, 2015, 06:07:57 pm »

Ps, can you upload magnet link? I think magnet link is better as they do not need traker afaik.

Yes, of course. Since it's client side code it kind of has to be.

Both magnet links and uploading .torrent files are possible. I'd prefer using magnet links too.

Call it "Catnip"

Suggest name for the plugin: "ShareME"
I do find this name catchy and easy to say. It also describe what the plugin do.

Well this plugin does not allow to share. It is more like a file catalog.

Depend on the point of view (seeder vs leecher) . When you upload some thing there, what you do with the file? You plan to share it on the blockchain.

The browse button is to select the file you want to share on the blockchain. I think.

Yes, exactly.
How about calling it just "File sharing"? Wouldn't be just limited to torrents and if you post a file on the blockchain, you're still sharing it, right?

Wow, thanks a lot abctc. Yes, it is.

Sebastien256 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 29, 2015, 06:56:44 pm »

"File sharing" is to much technical and not a catchy name when talking of an app with someone. Think simplicity such as dropbox, etc.
Try to put the name in the following sentence:
Hi John did you heard of this new app "App name"?

Uhh, good stuff.
How about simply calling it Nxtorrent or Nxtor?

I can imagine it would be best to just concentrate on torrents - not on other data. Just so it's less confusing, and you can focus on one functionality.
Then again, I'm not so experienced with torrents - what is for example going into the "data" field in this screenshot:
