ricter Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 An option on right click of a torrent that lets you search torrent search engines would be nice. Make it easier to find other sources/trackers. Search by torrent name and by torrent hash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Dunno, I doubt most search engines allow searching by hash anyway, and exact name searches generally don't work well, as people get to name their uploads, and they don't always name it in any consistent manner, such as the torrent file name, so that also generally turns up fruitless.

Nefarious Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 searching by hash? now, that is somethen i wish all the trackers had unless it is implemented in the treackers/search engines i really doubt this would be any helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricter Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 To be clear. My request is for this search to work with the existing "search engines" utorrent options. So, right click on torrent called "Monster_Episode74_255C6313" presents a "Search" sub menu with options like: Search Mininova by name, Search Mininova by hash, etc.Isohunt can search for torrents by torrent hash. Couple others as well but I forget which.I understand the inconsistant naming problem of searching torrents by name, but most of what I download is pretty consistantly named and the hope is if I cant search by hash then the name would remain the same on multiple torrent search sites.After typing this Im thinking of a different approach. Right click on torrent to produce an option called 'copy name to search box' and/or 'copy hash to search box'. Copy/pasting from the General tab is possible now, but its a 5 click process for the hash and more for the name of the torrent. I dont see where I can copy just the torrent name, but can copy the whole directory path and torrent name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 F2, Ctrl C, and voilá you copied the torrent name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasuhebi Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 @FironF2 doesn't work with µT, apparently. I think you probably misunderstood the question? He didn't mean copy the torrent name from Explorer, he meant from µT itself. FYI people, F2 is a shortcut key to rename files. If you press it while clicking a torrent, theoratically, it would select the name of the torrent and you could copy (Ctrl+C) it and then paste it into the search field. Doesn't work, though. At least not with v1.6.Firon, eres Puertorro?-Jaime/Karasuhebi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 It does -- I'm looking at a rename box in µTorrent right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasuhebi Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 W00t, you're right. Gosh, my bad. Wonder why it didn't work the first time I tried it.-Karasuhebi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 maybe because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
