i was wondering.. why does it seem that only one tracker is being used.
only the first one on the list.

i use public trackers, and have a couple for each torrrent.
but it seem as tho deluge only uses the first one i enter into the tracker list.

i am fairly new to deluge btw.

Deluge follows the official torrent protocol of only connecting to one torrent at a time. If the first one works it uses that one.

The torrent programs that connect to multiple trackers at once have it wrong.

what you mean?

it is impossible for deluge to use all trackers?

so that what i was doing all that time (adding trackers on the Trackers options,edit)
it was useless ?

because after reading the above I dont know how to use the "edit tracker list" feuture
for my benefit.

It will only use the top one on the list as long as it works, if for some reason it stops responding, or un-connectible it will go to the next one in the list, and so on.
