Edit Trackers

This window allows the user to add or edit trackers used for a transfer. It is accessed by right-clicking the current list of trackers and selecting "Edit Trackers".

Tracker URLs should start with http:, https: or udp:.

If plain HTTP authentication is required, prefix the URL with username:password@

Cookies can be sent to the tracker by placing a :cookie: directive at the end of the URL. Id/value pairs are placed after the directive, as they would appear on the HTTP Cookie: header line.

Tracker URLs can end with a :header: directive. Everything after this directive will be URL decoded (for example, %0D%0A will become a CR-LF sequence) and will replace the HTTP UserAgent header line when making a request from the tracker.

Tracker URLs can also end with a :peerid: directive. This must come after the :header: directive if both are present. Everything after the :peerid: directive will be URL decoded and used as the peer-id when interacting with this tracker. If the specified peerid is too long it will be truncated, and if it is too short it will be padded with random characters in the 1-254 range.

Only one tracker at a time is used within a group. Groups are separated by a blank line.

Duplicate groups will be removed when OK is clicked.

Note that a working tracker is not necessary for proper operation. If the DHT is running it will usually gather enough peers to bootstrap into the swarm.

For more options relating to trackers and how they are announced, see the Settings - Transfers - Trackers help page.
