How to keep track of your torrents from this site with your client
-
Most know that I advocate the torrent client "BiglyBT" and for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is that the developers do a wonderful job interacting with beta tester suggestions to improve the client. Just recently they implemented a feature request I made that has PROFOUND IMPACT on how I manage my torrent collection.
BiglyBT has a "Comments" component, split into a text field and an icon, that allows me to copy/past the URL address of the torrent files I download from this site and connect them with the torrents in my client. The field has been automatically URL enabled, so at any time i can click on a torrent in my client and it launches the corresponding page from this site from which I downloaded the torrent from and brings the page right up. This feature has really changed the game for me in the sense that i can go back and look at additional information from the download, determine if it is still active, perhaps find the right information to help correctly name the torrent file (because not everyone does a good job naming their uploads to this site), etc..
Just a little tip I thought I'd share with everyone.

Thanks, raphjd!

Your explanation (and then, the link) make it sound very useful, with its better integration.
I've been with μTorrent for such a long time, but I may switch in conjunction with getting a new laptop soon.
Thanks, gents.

Here is a sample screenshot of what it looks like (see attached).
A big benefit for me is that, quite often the original uploader of the torrent has given the file name something vague, and I have to rename the torrent in order to correctly identify what it is within my collection of my client. Using the comment function within BiglyBT allows me to reflect the original name which was given the torrent by the uploader - thus I maintain a trail of what it is on the website and what it is within my client collection, and the URL then appears at the bottom of the popup window and I just click that link and it takes me to the actual page within the website here.
You may notice that there is a second URL which is path'd locally to one of my computer drives. I actually save a copy of every URL I download - including picture files, in case the torrent becomes banned and removed from the site. This allows me to archive those files so if I want to go back and attempt to make the same torrent file and upload it back to the site, I can do that.
