Description
Some huge downloads are available as torrents and direct web links.
For example, Open Office can be downloaded in two ways:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ (torrent)
http://www.openoffice.org/ (direct link)
Same for Ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download (direct link)
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt (torrent)
It would be really nice, if the page name "peers" will have a button named "add source".
Note that it is not a kind of web seeding, since the server known nothing about the torrent, but can send us some fragments of the file(s) being downloaded.

- Milestone changed from None Set to Sometime
This isn't going to make it in time for 2.20, but I agree it should be added at some point.

#4139 asks for this in the "create torrent" window.
comment:7 Changed 12 years ago by theonlytruth
@livings124 This is a different idea. Here we want to add the seeds to a running torrent download if for example it is to slow. The other one wanted to add webseeds when he creates a torrent.
