All Trackers View

parg edited this page Oct 25, 2018 · 8 revisions

Each download uses one or more trackers to obtain information about other peers that are downloading/seeding the same torrent. These trackers have varying stability and often go offline permanently. Over time these dead trackers can accumulate and waste BiglyBT resources as attempts are made to communicate with them.

Each download has a 'Sources' tab that shows the current state of the download's trackers (and alternative peer sources). However it can be hard to get a global view of the trackers being used by BiglyBT - hence the introduction of the 'All Trackers' view accessible from the 'View' menu.

Notes

Not all of a download's trackers will be consulted for peers, especially if the download has 'enough' peers from other sources. This is why you will see some trackers in a 'Queued' state. When a tracker is queued there are no online/offline statistics available which is why some trackers will not have data available. This does not mean they are dead - they may well be required in the future. A strict definition of how multiple trackers should be handled is available here.

If you find that trackers re-appear after being removed then this might be due to DNS Tracker Preferences - make sure that you remove all trackers for the given domain.
