To add trackers to a currently running torrent, go to Inspector -> Tracker, and click the plus button (+). To remove them, click minus button (-). Multiple trackers can also be added to torrent files you create. Each newly-added tracker will be placed in a new tier. 22 <p> 23 <div id="pagetitle"> 24 <h1>What is 'Tier 1', 'Tier 2', etc? </h1> 25 </div> 26 <p>Transmission supports multitracker torrents. All of a given torrent's trackers are divided into 'Tiers'. A tracker from each tier will be contacted simultaneously. Transmission randomly chooses a tracker from each tier until it finds one that works. 27 <p> 28 <div id="pagetitle"> 29 <h1>What does 'announce' mean? </h1> 30 </div> 31 <p>When Transmission <i>announces</i>, it is updating its presence to the tracker and asking for more peers. This happens periodically, at the discretion of the tracker, however can be manually invoked via Transfers menu >> Update Tracker. 32 <p> 33 <div id="pagetitle"> 34 <h1>What does 'scrape' mean? </h1> 35 </div> 36 <p><i>Scraping</i> the tracker simply means asking for information about the swarm itself. For example, the number of peers, seeds etc. 37 <p> 38 39 40 </div> 41 </body> 42 43</html>
