The Trackers tab displays the trackers that µTorrent is currently
using for the selected torrent job. The following is a description of
each column:
- Name displays the tracker URL, or the name of the alternative sources for obtaining peers.
- Downloaded displays the number of times the torrent job was reported to be complete by peers on the tracker.
- Interval displays the amount of time the tracker recommended µTorrent to wait before next automatic announce.
- Min Interval displays the minimal amount of time the tracker requires µTorrent to wait before next announce. This value is dictated by the tracker, and may be different from tracker to tracker. If the tracker specifies a minimum announce interval of less than 30 seconds, µTorrent will use 30 seconds as the minimum interval instead.
- Peers displays the number of peers returned by the tracker scrape.
- Seeds displays the number of seeds returned by the tracker scrape.
- Status
shows the current status of the tracker. If an error occurs while
attempting to use the tracker, depending on the error, it might be
displayed on this column. The following are commonly displayed:
- disabled means the source will not be used for the torrent job due to the options selected in the torrent properties. This occurs only with DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange.
- hostname not found means the tracker IP could not be resolved. This may occur due to DNS issues, or because the domain or hostname specified is invalid or does not exist.
- invalid url means the tracker specified is not valid, and cannot be used with µTorrent. This most often occurs if the specified tracker is not of the correct protocol (µTorrent supports only HTTP, HTTPS, and UDP trackers).
- not allowed means the source cannot be used with the torrent job. This status occurs only with DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange, and only when the torrent job is private.
- scrape ok means the tracker scrape successfully returned the seed and peer counts for the torrent job.
- scrape not supported means the tracker does not support scraping.
- working means the tracker responded properly on the last tracker update.
- Update In displays the amount of time (in minutes) until µTorrent next announces to the tracker.
Context Menu
- Update Tracker allows you to perform a manual announce on the selected trackers, assuming the minimum announce interval has passed for the trackers. This option is disabled if 60 seconds have not yet passed since the last time it was used, or if the elapsed time since the last update is less than the minimum interval for every selected tracker. If the condition to be enabled has been satisfied by at least one of the selected trackers, the option will be enabled, but when used, will be invoked only on those trackers that have met the conditions for option to be enabled.
- Remove Tracker removes the selected tracker(s) from the tracker list. This action can also be performed by pressing Delete on the keyboard.
- Add Tracker... opens the torrent properties dialog, where you can add trackers to the tracker list.
- Use DHT is a shortcut for the Enable DHT option in the torrent properties.
- Use Local Peer Discovery is a shortcut for the Local Peer Discovery option in the torrent properties.
- Use Peer Exchange is a shortcut for the Peer Exchange option in the torrent properties.
