magnet link issue

Postby luckypyz » Mon Oct 23, 2023 2:50 pm

Operating System: Windows 11 home edition 21H2
FDM version:6.19.1.5263 (8f064dc5)

I am a new user of FDM and I am testing this software these days. When I was testing the magnet link's useability, I found that even though I enabled and added a list of predefined trackers in the "preferences", the FDM still takes quite a long time to fetch the magnet link's info, even for the very popular ubuntu seed's magnet link (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:IQ6HMAVU7XUD2EKU23M5USEAQQMLDANW).

Then I tried using the online tool Roman R(http://www.romanr.info/magnet.html) to add all the trackers I had from the predefined tracker list to generate and try the new magnet link with trackers, the magnet link's info is fetched immediately and ready to be download. So does that mean that the predefined trackers from the preferences are not automatically used to fetch the magnet link's info? If predefined trackers are not automatically used, will there be any planned future update that introduces this feature? I think that would be very convenient and useful.
