Filedrop for ruTorrent + install

Ever hate having to go to the top bar in rutorrent to find your files and then upload them?

There's a plugin for you then!

Filedrop, this is a plugin that supports Chrome and Firefox, it allows you to "drag and drop" a .torrent file from anywhere on your computer. Even from the bottom bar in chrome and download manager in Firefox. Which makes is very convenient to just hit the download button on your favorite trackers!

To install this make sure you have rtorrent and rutorrent fully installed!

Here we go!



First grab this file:

https://rutorrent.googlecode.com/files/filedrop-3.5.tar.gz
Extract that and put it in your main rutorrent installation's plugins folder, if you have used automated script to install your rutorrent, it will be in this area:

/var/www/rutorrent/plugins

You'll want the folder called filedrop, just put it right into the plugins folder and give rutorrent a nice refresh!

Now you can drag and drop your torrents straight into rutorrent!

Good Luck!
