Xubuntu 15.04-64
qBittorrent 3.2.0
Cannot connect
http://retracker.local/announce at all.
But Transmission 2.84 at the same time on this computer can connect
http://retracker.local/announce.
What I do wrong?

Do you have a DNS server set up for the .local zone?

Yes, as I think - because - how Transmission can see retracker.local?

And where is retracker.local running?

My Internet-provider set-up retracker.locale and I know it's IP-address.
In "etc/hosts" I add line:
'IP-retracker.locale' retracker.local

I understand:
After I switch-on in options "Always announce to all trackers" - all udp-trackers and retracker.locale begin works.

Excellent.
Just as a future pointer, this bit;
In "etc/hosts" I add line:
'IP-retracker.locale' retracker.local
Should have been in the first post, as it would have saved the "DNS server" diversion, though in hindsight, I should have included the hosts file resolver in with "DNS server".
