SUMMARY Only http:// without S will allow the add Webseed button to enable, so it can be clicked. But nowadays, you won't find http only sources anymore. Usually the downloads are https:// same as the rest of the web. Force-adding a link by editing the s out form the URL seems not to work, as the resulting webseed is stuck in "resolving host". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start any Ubuntu torrent from: e.g. https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/noble/release/ 2. Copy the direct download URL of the ISO with https:// 3. Paste into webseed field (Button disabled) 4. edit into http:// (Button enabled) 5. click add (won't download anything from there) OBSERVED RESULT Cannot click "Add Webseed"-button or stuck in "resolving host" EXPECTED RESULT Download from https:// SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-41-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
