Trackers?

by estubbs on 2013/12/02 08:26:51 AM    
I read about this, but I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to do about them? I see the "trackers" tap when I'm looking at my transfers. But it doesn't give any options to do anything. Am I supposed to be blocking these or preventing them?
Sorry for asking such a newbee question, if someone could even just refer me to a link that tells me what to do, that would really help. I can't find any recent, as in 2013 info when I do a google search on trackers.

Thanks :-)

Usually you don't need to modify the trackers. This tab is useful when creating new torrent file.

"Trackers" aren't something or someone "bad" stalking you, in the torrent context. We refer as "tracker" to a server which has the info needed for your computer to be able to identify the files you want to get, and connect to other people to get them. It acts as the doorway between your torrent client and the clients of the other peers (people) you download and upload the files to.

Here's some more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker
