A question about torrent trackers, peers and possible a wished feature

[duluxe]

Hi , everyone !

I often download torrents from btmon where torrents usually have multi trackers. However some trackers are invalid... , unregisterd torrents , (offline) or only available at a certain time of the day , etc ....

Is it true that utorrent continuously tries to connect to such trackers will slow down the download/upload speed ?

Often i deletes the unsuccessfull trackers from the torrents, but it's really annoying ( since you have to look quickly at tracker status ) and it takes time too ( some trackers only available at a certain time) .

I really wish there is a feature that monitors and makes a status report ( about speed, amount of tranfered data for each tracker , etc ... ) to help me optimize the speed .

Thanks for reading , and if you feel this is more like a requested feature, pls move it to an appropriate 4rum

No, this will have no impact on your speed.

As to the rest of your topic. The BitTorrent protocol only relies on trackers to provide new peers/seed every once in a while. More (working) trackers does not improve speeds (in most cases). They could enlarge the swarm a bit (from your perspective) and this is only handy in case of unpopular torrents where low number of peers & seeds or the availability might become a bottleneck/problem. But in general more trackers does not mean more speeds and trying to connect to offline trackers has no negative impact.
