Delete Failed Tracker permanently, check no trackers feature

[JBitte]

I've been treating failed trackers manually by going into the torrent Library and editing in the Sources Tab of the torrent. In the My Torrents / All Trackers sidebar, it seems that the only action you can perform is to add a stubborn tracker to a template.

It would be of great benefit if one could hit a nice big red button and delete the offline or failed trackers from the entire instance of biglybt. This may in fact leave some torrents without an associated tracker, and it would be nice to identify living torrents with no trackers, so that new trackers can be applied

• BiglyBT Version Number B3.0.0.1_B02/4 az3

The feature already exists - see https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/All-Trackers-View

Although the identification of torrents with no trackers is missing - I'll have a think on that

Beta version 3001_B03 has a new Tag Constraint function that can be used to select downloads that have no trackers:

countTrackers() == 0

I have to say this feature is maybe not working as expected, or simply the mechanism is not working on my various installations. In the past I have looked the All Trackers sidebar and performed Select / Remove from current and future downloads / Create or Add Action -> 'Delete Now' as the Action name to avoid confusion. and the result is that the tracker is Tagged but the tracker exists in biglybt.

Another route that I though was logical was go to the torrent slowly downloading in the library, right click Details, pick Sources Tab, select dormant or dead tracker, and select the red 'X' above to delete.

That method doesn't always seem to work but I have no evidence as I seem to see the same dead trackers associated with the torrent frequently, so I can use a tracker stuffing or substitution method: in the Tracker / Details view / Sources, in the lower windows 'Primary Tracker' tab, see the dead tracker, right-click on the Tracker URL, select Edit Tracker URLs / Select the dead tracker, right-click EDIT and paste in another live tracker / Select SAVE, to remove it from the list that way. This is a very manually intensive activity, and automation would be better.

Did you read the note at the bottom of the wiki page regarding DNS tracker preferences? This can cause confusion. You can disable the feature via

Options->Tracker->Client: Enable handling of DNS tracker records used to ameliorate accidental DDOS

Note that you can reapply the tracker removals assigned to your "Delete Now" action by right-clicking on the "Delete Now" Tag and selecting "Tracker Templates... -> reapply"

I did have this setting enabled. last month as an all out effort to remove all *.RU domains, I exited gracefully and used BENcode Editor on all the config files of biglybt including alltrackers.config to remove the dead or clogged trackers. Once convinced all references were gone, I restarted biglybt and the dead trackers re-appeared. I thought it might have to do with the references in the ACTIVE Folder, but I'm not an expert
