A simple checkbox in the add dialog would be sufficient: \"stop after obtaining meta-data.\"\r\n\r\nAs it stands, magnet links are too often a blind crap-shoot. Of course many magnet links grab the meta-data quickly, and this allows the user to watch/pause after it is obtained. However, this is prone to issues and is also a critical design flaw: no operation should be dependent on the timing of the user.\r\n\r\nPlease consider/prioritize this suggestion. With magnet links becoming increasingly popular, it is increasingly important to pre-fetch the meta-data."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/comments/154765487","html_url":"https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/929#issuecomment-154765487","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/929","id":154765487,"user":{"login":"qkiel","id":4347762,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4347762?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel","html_url":"https://github.com/qkiel","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/qkiel/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-07T23:41:35Z","updated_at":"2015-11-07T23:41:35Z","body":"If I add magnet link and don't get metadata during \"add new torrent\" dialogue, I can't force qBt to fetch just this metadata later on?\r\n\r\nIn Deluge it's possible to right click on magnet link (that doesn't have metadata) and select \"Force Re-check.\" This will retrive metadata only - torrent stays in paused state, transfer doesn't start. Exactly like option mentioned earlier \"Stop after obtaining Meta-data.\"\r\n\r\nIs there at least a way to bring back \"add new torrent\" dialogue, so I can fetch metadata?
