Is there any way to make the tracker update to go off more often...
In upload sector for exp., the torrents dosen't update more often then each half hour. Any possebility to get this down to only a minute or two?

In advanced thanks

No, you can do it manually,

The trackers would not like this.

in my version of ktorrent 3.5.1 it actually is one whole hour. i am basically downloading stuff that i cannot find in stores; this implies also very few people being seeders and / or leachers. sometimes there goes one hour with one seeder that does not allow me to download or who gets a score of "-50". so what exactly do you mean by: "The trackers would not like this."?

Rare torrents have a few peers and it's probably no that healthy swarm so you should expect low download rates, it's not uncommon. Peers with score -50 are most probably the ones that are not interested for your upload. You shouldn't worry about score, it's more like a KTorrent internal feature.

And about trackers, what George meant is that *they* set update interval and they don't like manual announces since it increases their server load.

okay, i understand. but why worry about server load - offering a torrent should be a binary decision. either they offer something - or not. but i don't have to tell that to you, i guess...
