Two advanced settings. What are they for?

Hi,

There are two (advanced) settings in qBittorrent I do not understand what's for. They are

Exchange trackers with other peers

and

Always announce to all trackers

Could someone please explain what these are for and how to use, or not use them.

I'm running qBittorrent on Ubuntu 12.04. Phenomenal bittorrent client. The best I've used on any platform!

Hi and welcome,

- Exchanging trackers with other peers so you are basically gathering trackers from other peers which might give you more peers. For example the torrent that you have added may have 3 trackers but with this feature turned on you could get more trackers by exchanging with other peers. Im using this mainly with open torrents but not with private ones so becarefull.

- The second option will announce to all trackers available instead of 1 or 2.
