Filter torrents that are actively transmitting data

[lukasv]

Hello,

I would find it highly useful to be able to filter the web client to show only active torrents.

And by active I mean like,

((download_speed > 0) or (upload_speed > 0))

Just like you can in the GTK client. This is really neat if you have a lot of torrents and want to know which ones are transmitting.

I think a lot of users would appreciate this.

Cheers!

Lukas

I'm not sure whether or not I like this idea, but I do know it doesn't make sense to have it in one of the GUIs but not the other, so I'm reassigning this request from "Web Client" to "Transmission".

The Mac client does have an "active" filter.

Replying to charles:

Unless I'm mistaken, all the GUIs (GTK, QT, Mac) have this feature, it's only the web client that is lacking it.

The Qt and GTK+ clients will flag torrents as "active" if Transmission and a peer have agreed to share data (in BitTorrent? protocol terms, the interested + unchoke messages have been processed). This means it's possible for some torrents whose speed is currently zero to show up in the active filter.

I don't think this is the same behavior followed by the Mac client...?

The Mac client marks a file active for the filter if it is not paused and not stalled (as defined in prefs).

This is a duplicate of #3281. Closing this one, since the other ticket has a patch.
