Question About trackers?


Yogirajj

Recommended Posts

If I create a torrent with site# 1's tracker URL, then create another identical torrent for site# 2 and using it's URL (µ-torrent will obviously tell me "torrent already exist, do you want to add tracker?" We say yes..) My question is, does both trackers now see the entire swarm between the two? Or will they only recognize transactions made from their own visitors?? Both open trackers..

Thanks...

The tracker isn't going to see new peers unless those peers talk to the tracker. All it's going to see is just that you uploaded and downloaded x amount of bytes.

So while you can bridge the swarms in a way (since PEX and DHT will make peers on each swarm talk to each other), they aren't bridged as far as the tracker is concerned.
