Overlapping of trackers/peers?

[vandan]

Something I was thinking, I hear of people recommending adding a whole slew of "public trackers" to their torrents for better distribution, etc.....would there be any possibility of viewing the peers "per tracker"?

It could really shed some light on how many "duplicated" peers there are between the various "trackers"

For example, for a torrent I'm DLing now, I got

First column, Seeds; Second column, Peers.

[DHT] 141 120

[Local Peer Discovery] 0 7

[Peer Exchange] 288 332

http://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce working 108 105

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce 147 160

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce 111 110

It would be interesting to know how many "duplicated" peers there are between each listed tracker-mechanism.

Willing to bet there's a large duplicate of duplicated peers, and that the actual "torrent trackers" are likely of no help even

Possibly a tab called Unique peers? (i'm assuming thats what you mean)

It's generally not going to help, and if you have DHT turned on, you'll find the rest of them. Peer exchange helps too.

I think he just wants to know how much each tracker is contributing, not as much for finding more just curious about how much each tracker is watching.

[Firon]

Kinda pointless to add into the client. If he really wants to know, he should just scrape the tracker directly and figure it out.

I right-click and clear peer list occasionally. (about once a day)

I find that many of the ips were totally dead anyway. They want to connect to me, they need to be connectible!
