It's more a question than an actual problem, but it's been bothering me for a while so I decided to ask (I searched but didn't find any issues like this, so if it's a duplicate please just show me the post and I will close this one). When I click 'Add torrent' button I see these 3 buttons:

The first is simple and works predictable. The third allows to browse the filesystem of the Tribler host and select files to create a torrent and it's OK too. But the second is a little confusing - it asks to select a file, but on the client side, which is understandable since the browser is on the client side. The problem is that I want to import a file from the Tribler host which is not my client host (I run Tribler on VPS). Is this supposed to be this way or maybe there will be a feature like two buttons 'select from server' and 'select from your device'?

Anyway, thank you for this awesome project!

Add this point we're still focused on running both client and server on localhost, but maybe we can add an optional "Import torrent from remote file(s)" if you aren't accessing Tribler from localhost.
