Deluge displays tracker even though all trackers deleted?!

Post by jonsnow »

Hello,

when I add torrents in paused state, remove all trackers, resume, then some torrents still show a tracker and tracker status.

Right click - edit tracker - is empty, but the torrent still e.g. shows:
Tracker-Status: explodie.org: Announce OK
or rarbg.com or some other domain name ...

These trackers were not even in the original list of the torrent's trackers. What is going on?

What's really funny is: I can right click - edit tracker - click remove (the list is empty but something seems to be happening because the color of the list changes) - ok

Now the mysterious tracker will disappear in the Tracker column, but in the lower Status pane there will still be a Tracker-Status with the mysterious domain and Announce OK message.

It seems like the tracker information deluge caches and what's actually happening in libtorrent are two different worlds.

Based on debug logs adding a magnet link in paused state, removing trackers, then start will result in libtorrent downloading metadata from other peer which includes trackers. While deluge thinks there are no trackers, libtorrent will happily communicate with several trackers.

That really sucks.
