Continue to download torrents metadata past the Add torrent screen

When adding a torrent trough magnet link uTorrent only downloads the metadata while the Add torrent window is showing. As soon as the torrent is accepted (don't start the downloads automatically - enabled) there's no info on the torrent (size, content) until the torrent is started.

It would be more convenient if the torrents metadata is obtained regardless of the torrents state

Why would you expect it to be downloading data in a stopped state?? Stopped is stopped (not downloading from peers) whether it is meta data or payload data

But you could set bt.scrape_stopped to true so the client continues to get peer counts from trackers in preparation for it being started.

Support this request too.

I am surprised that this request was not implemented earlier.

Currently i have to 'force start' a magnet link , manually , just to get the metadata and be able select needed files.

However, my original intention was just to add the torrent to queue. So, Then i stop it (to disable force start) and re-start it again , to queue it.

Thankyou to utorrent creators and supporters.
