Transmission: [feature request] torrent duplicate: add tracker

[mattia-b89]

I'd like to have transmission capable of adding new tracker from torrent that point to the same file.
e.g. I added a torrent via the magnet link; I want to add trackers contained in the .torrent version of the same file; actually, transmission only says that it can't add the file because already in download

I'm on Linux, transmission-2.92

I would like this feature too on windows client.
"Torrent already downloading, add the trackers from this list?"

Any update to this improvement request?

+1 for this also (linux).

I would make it so if the torrent is marked as private additional trackers can't be added. It's common for people to do this not understanding the ramifications.

Would you mind explaining this? If it is a private torrent, no peer exchange will happen, so what is the matter?

Private trackers often use the statistics from the 'announces' to track a user's ratio. Adding multiple trackers to the same private torrent makes the same statistics get announced to both trackers. However one tracker may have a more active pool than the other. This causes the user to get upload credit on a site they didn't contribute to the swarm on. This then causes them to be flagged as ratio cheaters.

Unless transmission can track the statistics on a per-tracker and per-peer basis and keep the statistics separate then this change should be prohibited on 'private' torrents. That fix however inherently breaks the whole point of multiple trackers / tiers of trackers in a torrent. It's for redundancy not cross-seeding.

Thanks. I did silently expect a per-tracker statistic.
