# magnet2list
magnet2list is a small tool which converts a magnet link to a tracker list.
Demo: https://hutstep.github.io/magnet2list/
## Why?
The Transmission bittorrent client (maybe others too) doesn't automatically add the additional trackers (if any) from a magnet link to an already existing torrent. You just get the message `Couldn't add duplicate torrent`, and you have to add the additional trackers manually.
To ease this process, I coded magnet2list.
## Example scenario
Say you added a torrent to Transmission. The torrent file/magnet link included the trackers `a` and `b`.
Now, both trackers are not working, or you just want to add more trackers for more seeders/peers.
You searched the web and found a magnet link for the same torrent (same hash) but with more trackers. (`a`, `b`, `c`, `d`)
If you click the magnet link, Transmission won't add the additional trackers (`c`, `d`) to the torrent.
You just get the message `Couldn't add duplicate torrent`.
With magnet2list you can easily extract the trackers from the magnet link, and copy & paste them to the torrent in Transmission.
