[Feature Request] adding public tracker list for each download task

[soyvv]

github tracker list: https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

The proposal: 1) add a configuration option to enable "adding public trackers"; 2) if the option is checked, for each successfully created task, add the additional trackers from the list above. (There is tracker adding API available for download station API)

This would accelerate the downloading quite a bit.

Thanks.

This is an interesting idea! Unfortunately, I won't have time for the foreseeable future to dig into a feature this large. :(

such a nice idea! How can I find "(There is tracker adding API available for download station API)" ? I'll try contribute this feature.

The way this project is structured, I've offloaded all of the API implementation to https://github.com/seansfkelley/synology-typescript-api/. Additionally, you can find the official docs linked from that readme: https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Software/DeveloperGuide/Package/DownloadStation/All/enu/Synology_Download_Station_Web_API.pdf

I'm happy to accept this change if you make it, however, I would like to keep knowledge of any particular tracker or even tracker lists out of extension. If you implement it, I suggest a setting that accepts a URL from which tracker lists can be fetched.

Thanks for the help. However, I can't find any information about modify tracker for a certain task from official docs. Appreciate any help if I've missed anything.

Hm, you're right, I don't see anything in the documentation. That's the only documentation I've ever used to use their API, so I'm not aware of any other way to figure out what's available, if it's undocumented, without examining the network traffic in DSM. :/

Seems we got some undocumented juice 🍡 api=SYNO.DownloadStation2.Task.BT.Tracker&method=add

fetch("https://NASIP/webapi/entry.cgi", { "body": "task_id=%22dbid_69%22&tracker=%5B%22udp%3A%2F%2F93.158.213.92%3A1337%2Fannounce%22%2C%22http%3A%2F%2F54.39.179.91%3A6699%2Fannounce%22%5D&api=SYNO.DownloadStation2.Task.BT.Tracker&method=add&version=2", "method": "POST", "mode": "cors" });

There has some bugs anyway. adding new tracker just not working if a magnet task is pending for DHT response.
