swanksta Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Rather than cut/pasting a bunch of trackers together to form tiers, right-click multiple trackers and "Form Tier". That would be so much easier to make tiers, when you get a torrent that has a huge number of trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 In top right window (main torrent window), right-click and choose properties.It's best to edit tracker lists there.Having multiple/many tracker tiers is almost always a bad idea.

swanksta Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 "In top right window (main torrent window), right-click and choose properties.It's best to edit tracker lists there."My point is: that way of doing it is tedious with long lists. There's no way of sorting trackers in torrent properties! It would be easier to do from the GUI. It's possible to add or delete trackers from the GUI, why not make tiers?"Having multiple/many tracker tiers is almost always a bad idea."Exactly! Combining similar trackers into tiers makes less tiers. It also reduces load on the trackers. A lot of torrents have tracker lists with multiple tiers for the same tracker:udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announcehttp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announceTwo tiers for the same trackers. I see this quite a lot, and it makes utorrent connect twice simultaneously to the same tracker, on two different protocols. A lot of times, there will be WAY too many tiers for the same trackers.It's a pain in the ass to open and edit each torrent's properties, especially if you download a LOT of torrents, like me. It takes me much too long to do that for these torrents with redundant tracker lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The thing is, the logic you're using doesn't actually help matters at all.Downloaders really shouldn't be messing with tracker lists in torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 The tracker list basically needs to be made correctly in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 If a torrent contains this for trackers:udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announcehttp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce...It will probably announce to both even on the same tier due to how uTorrent currently handles udp trackers.
