Will be starting coding on a My Torrents plug-in. The plug-in will allow users to search popular torrent sites from within MP, view the search results and initiate a download.
The plug-in will handle downloading of the actual .torrent file but will rely on a third-party app to download the real file(s).
Personally I'll be using an app that I wrote sometime ago to redirect torrent downloads from the MP box to my box running BitComet and Shareaza. This way the MP box can maintain it's role in life as a lazy HTPC setup that sleeps most of the day.
It would be nice if the plug-in could display the status of files being download etc, but that is beyond the scope of my current requirements and would add a level of complexity that takes the fun out of this kind of thing. |
