Torrent Detail Panel
Selecting a torrent in the transfer list opens the Detail Panel on the right side of the main window. It has six tabs.
Shows summary information for the selected torrent.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Torrent display name |
| Save path | Folder where files are stored (copy button available) |
| Info hash | SHA-1 / SHA-256 torrent identifier (copy button available) |
| Size | Total content size |
| Progress | Percentage complete |
| Tracker announce | Hostname of the announcing tracker, last/next announce times, and status |
| Created by | Torrent creator string (if present) |
| Comment | Embedded torrent comment (if present) |
The General tab includes a small controls bar with:
- Sequential download toggle — enable/disable in-order piece requests for this torrent without opening the context menu.
- Speed & ratio limits (pencil icon) — opens a small inline editor to set a per-torrent download speed cap (KiB/s), upload speed cap (KiB/s), and ratio limit. Setting 0 means unlimited (uses session defaults).
Displays the full file tree of the torrent.
- Tree view (default) — files arranged in their directory hierarchy with collapsible folders.
- Flat view — a flat list of all files, useful for torrents with many files.
Toggle between views with the view-mode button in the tab header.
For each file you can:
- Check/uncheck — skip or download that file.
- Play (film icon) — open the file in the built-in media player (visible on media files).
- Rename — rename the file on disk (supported on Transmission engine; greyed out on rTorrent server).
Folders can also be collapsed/expanded and renamed in the same way.
Lists all trackers in the torrent with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Tracker URL | Full announce URL |
| Last announce | How long ago the last announce was sent |
| Next announce | Countdown to the next scheduled announce |
| Status | Working / Error / Not yet contacted / etc. |
| Seeds | Seeds reported by this tracker |
| Peers | Peers reported by this tracker |
The Re-announce button (radio icon) next to each tracker sends an immediate announce to that tracker. This is useful if a tracker has timed out and you want to force contact without waiting.
Tip
If all trackers show errors, check the Connectivity Doctor to verify your listening port is reachable.
A live table of connected peers for the selected torrent, updated every few seconds. Columns include peer IP address, client name, connection flags, upload speed to peer, download speed from peer, and that peer's completion percentage.
