+# Torrent-Label-DB
+A text database which contains torrent names and labels
+
+This DB is used by Jonny007-MKD/OTR-DecodeAll to retreive labels set in the Torrent client by the filename.
+
+An entry is added by the torrent client by calling a special script after adding the torrent.
+The refresh script walks through all entries and fetches the label from the torrent client.
+
+Supported torrent clients:
+	- Deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/). Call `delugeAddTorrent.sh` with Action `Torrent Added` in Plugin `Execute`
+	- I'd love to add more clients. Please participate!
+
+Possible problems:
+	- It works for single file torrents. Something else was not tested.
