UPnP support?

[F for Fragging]

As far as I know (just did a search) Deluge currently does not have UPnP support, correct?

IMHO UPnP is one of the most important features for a Bittorrent client. Instead of having to mess with the web interface of my router to forward ports, UPnP handles all that automatically, which is a very user friendly feature.

Are there plans to implement this in Deluge?

By the way, I'm really happy now that there finally is a torrent client which aims to integrate well in GNOME. Thank you very much for developing Deluge.

you're welcome :)

as for uPnP, I have no idea, but it's definitely something we should look in to. it may depend on libtorrent's support of it.

The ticket for UPnP was opened over a year ago. The developers are not very fond of this feature, and do not consider it as a high priority feature.

If you are stuck with a UPnP router and your ISP will not give you the password, then you can use a Net:UPnP perl script to open up ports. I am not sure whether there is a python port of Net::UPnP, if there is one then we can implement this until rTorrent provides UPnP.

I don't know, but will you share?

IMO. It's useless feature for kiddies, who don't know how to forward port... >_<

sounds like good plugin material, then

Do you want torrent clients to be usable only for us nerds who know how to forward ports? I'm sure that if everyone would be able to download, for example, Ubuntu with Bittorrent it would save a lot of bandwith. GNOME ideology is to ensure that software is easy to use and just works.

Thanks for the links.

I'm all for UPnP. I would implement it myself, but networking isn't my strong side. I would be happy to collaborate on it with someone who understands the field, though.
