Remove Duplicate Trackers

If the announce URL is different it is not the same tracker.

uT always uses the information in the torrent.

The only time this does not APPEAR to be the case is when a torrent with the same INFOHASH is loaded. It will ask "Would you like to add the tracker from this existing torrent"...

You always have the ability to double click, or right click -> Properties and remove the additional trackers/tiers of trackers.

Correct, you have the ability to manually remove the information yourself. However, some torrents contain both "versions" of the tracker listings, making it multiple listings of the same tracker.

http://tracker.prq.to:80/

http://tracker.prq.to/

ARE THE SAME, and only 1 is needed.

This is not when/after I add another infohash, but on a clean torrent I download. This problem is becoming more and more of an issue. uTorrent needs to auto-remove the duplicate trackers.

If it is in the torrent uT does nothing to it internally.

It never has, and I'm betting it never will.

It is an aesthetic problem. You as the user have the same option as you always have as to which trackers you use for your torrent.

Edit: The trackers dictionary in the torrent is a string. They are not the same string, therefore they are not the same tracker.

It is the same tracker, however one of the URL's contain a port designation, which in that example is redundant because port 80 is the default port used for communication, making either URL removable without issue.

Edit: Doesn't sound like a bad feature though...

What about true duplicates? I paste a list of common, public trackers into the list for torrents that have few sources. If µTorrent would filter trackers that you add, then it would make things much easier because you don't have to sort by tracker and go through the list finding and removing duplicates, then re-sort by the preferred column. It becomes more and more of chore as the list grows.
