Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

Transmission 1.75 (9117)

A nice feature of uTorrent (and possibly other clients) is that when a .torrent file is added for which a duplicate is already being downloaded, instead of rejecting the new file entirely it offers to merge the lists of trackers. This is beneficial when the same data has been shared to multiple trackers, each with its own set of peers. Transmission currently throws the error message "Couldn't add duplicate torrent" and rejects the new .torrent file.

@Ken Sharp, the bug was not fixed in 2.50b1. I am currently running one of the latest builds of Transmission (transmission/sid uptodate 2.52-3) on Debian Unstable and the issue is still there.
