Size of multiple torrents

[Ejz85]

Suggestion

I suggest adding a way to see/calculate the size of any number of selected torrents.

Use case

Lets say I added 10 seasons of a TV show that will take up a lot of space on my HDD, but I don't really know if there is enough space. Wouldn't it be amazing if I select the torrents and I could see how much space they will take up without having to do some math? :)

Please add this. I can see how much free space I have left, but not how much space all my torrents are going to take, is there nowhere to see the total size required of selected torrents / all torrents?

"closed this as [not planned]" and "duplicate" ~Which of the numerous requests for this feature is the main one to look at? and is there an explanation why it isn't going to be even planned? seems like such a basic thing.

Yet, many torrenting clients don't have such feature?

Are you really going to use that as a defence?

Your screenshot shows that you are using very old qBit version, so you're missing many improvements and features.

I lifted the screenshot from one of the older threads because it just shows how easy it could be added. I'm no programmer but you can do this shit in Excel. Add up the columnm, print the total in the status bar. I've seen posts about this from like 2016, nobody has had time to do this?

I saw something on one of them about there being a bounty for it on bountysource.com or something, I'd be willing to put money towards a bounty for this. How would I go about doing that?

Anyway keep up the good work.

IMO, bountysource.com is a good way to say goodbye to your money without any benefit. You won't get your money back even if no one ever implements the desired feature. At the same time, many developers do not want to deal with it because of the difficulty (and even impossibility) of cashing out.

Hi, I see here kind of unpolite discussion . I understand that it need some effort. thats I asking to consider this function as it will make working with torrents much easier to know total size. now its annoying to move them to dir, and add/remove to hit space i need to get. please, have a look and its not feasible /coz lot of coding, complicated, etc.. / just let us know reason, . if its doable, will really help. thnx /ps: with explanation why its "not planned" will make discussion more professional

Doubt that they will add this feature in the near future, in the mean time I have written a small script that works in the Web UI that does exactly that. It automatically updates depending on your selected torrents calculates and displays the value on the footer bar

I use TamperMonkey, you can check the code on my greasyfork:
