In-Client torrent search for Deluge
Here’s what I’ve been hacking on for the last couple of days:
I’ve been developing a Search plugin for Deluge 1.0. Unlike my previous search plugin from 0.4 and 0.5, this plugin shows the results inside the client, without having to open a web browser. Attached is a screenshot, I’ll be releasing the source very soon.
The plugin works by parsing RSS feeds, and as such it is currently only compatible with Mininova and Isohunt. It also requires python-feedparser to be installed. I’m looking to get more search engines supported, but at the moment, it can only support search engines that offer search results in RSS form.
Update: I now have experimental support for The Pirate Bay, but due to the nature of their RSS feed, it doesn’t display Seeders, Peers, or Size, and it only searches the torrents’ tags.
