Can someone tell me what this message means and why it's on some of my torrents?

Uhm, basically you can't hammer trackers.
Trackers are software that runs on a server machine usually.

Announce is when you contact the tracker, like walking up to a person and you tell how much you downloaded, uploaded, you ask for new peers. And everyone does this, at every torrent, etc. It's an insane amount of people and connections.

And so, you do this every 60 seconds (minimum), which is every minute. Run the numbers, it's insane.
And so you can't lower it even more, because at that point, people would just straight up murder the poor tracker and cause it to shut down/die.

Hope that explains it.

I have a torrent that's had that message since I added it about 2 weeks ago.Shouldn't it have gone away by now?Also, why do some of my torrents say N/A under seeds, leeches, times downloaded, or all of the above?
