Questions about trackers

[serenite2009]

Hey,

I just want to ask a few things about trackers :

1. In a list of several trackers, does a tracker's status like "not allowed", "offline" etc. have an influence on the downloading speed ?

2. If a tracker as a double (two times the same tracker), does it has an influence on downloading speed ?

Thanks

Trackers do not directly impact download speed. Not allowed means the torrent is marked as private, offline means the tracker is down or you have firewall interference (and wont have a negative effect unless the torrent is marked private AND no backup trackers exist).

Having the same tracker in twice is just a waste of resources.

A tracker is just the main way to get a peer list.

The speed depends on your internet connection, the bandwidth settings in uT and the swarm quality.

1 & 2 can be managed by you, 3 is not under your control.
