Tracker Question

[m02a]

This is some kinda silly question. Sorry but I'm a newbie in this stuff.

Let's say that I have a torrent with five trackers, and one of these trackers went down. Can this tracker affect the performance of the other trackers? Should I remove it from the tracker list? Or it is useful, specially that DHT is allowed and enabled?

Regards

Extra trackers in the .torrent allow multiple groups of peers to connect to eachother. You can remove them or let them be. DHT is separate from trackers. You can see this by looking at the flags under the Peers column. It can tell you whether it came from DHT PEX or the tracker. Actually I think verbose shows EVERY kind (C=Client T=Tracker H=DHT X=PEX) but only the first two are shown as flags.

If you don't like it in the list flashing, you can remove it. If you check the 1.8 line (if you don't feel comfortable using everything in the new alpha stage, make a new folder with settings.dat and put the EXE with it) however you will see the tracker information has it's own tab.

I've been tempted to use 1.8 for a while now. I even download every new build, but I'm afraid of using a program in a beta stage to use one in an alpha stage, but wth I may give it a try.

Thanks for the help jewelisheaven

You don't need to be THAT worried. Like I mentioned to run multiple instances of uT you need to make sure you launch it from a different directory with a different settings.dat (and resume.dat if you wish) and append /RECOVER parameter. It's changed graphically as well as in functionality.

Glad you enjoy using uT
