Suggestion: auto-munge bad trackers

Situation: I am a long-time (and "verified") uploader on many other sites (my Demonoid account of the same name is over four years old), and am presently mirroring my torrents (seeing as many sites have gone down recently).

Annoyance: It is a royal pain in the ass to have to edit each and every one of literally a hundred torrent files looking for bad trackers. (If you think doing it one time is bad, imagine having to do it again and again.)

Today, my overlooking prq on the mile-long list of banned trackers resulted in four of five mirrors being punted.


Solution: As I observe that your upload software auto-adds additional trackers into torrents, it should be equally easy to remove bad ones, thereby saving the uploader a LOT of aggravation.

Nothing gets auto deleted on this site everything shows on your events page,if a torrents gets deleted post the info hash in forums under need a torrent hash cleared and you can re upload.

Re-naming torrents doesn't change hashes. The problem is hash-retention after torrent deletion -- and that's a major annoyance to someone (ahem, moi) who'd be thinking of, say, transporting over six full pages' worth of their Piratebay torrents.

I already know how to edit tracker-lists; I've been doing it for years.

The purpose of the auto-munge feature would be to save everyone's time.

Look at the HEAPING GOBS of time which could be saved:


* The site-owner doesn't have to keep continually updated a ginormous post listing dozens if not hundreds of bad trackers (more go bad every month, right?), and constantly pester users to read and re-read it.

* Uploaders don't have to mess around with the torrent-file, except at creation time, or fret over whether or not a currently "good" tracker will go "bad" in the future, causing their torrent to eventually be removed.

* Nobody has to screw around posting, or answering, tons of messages as to why torrents were deleted, getting all pissed off about it, etc.

* The owners can munge the entire database of hundreds of thousands of torrents to remove or add trackers -- this has the benefit of "fixing" all "grandfathered" torrents, as well as adding useful UDP trackers.

* With the site software in-place, VIP and trusted uploaders could be permitted to "update" their torrent files without having to recreate the page -- and wouldn't that be fifty different flavors of extra-rich creamy awesome. Oh, you know it would -- because it'd be the first time any torrent site has done it.
