Automatic addition of trackers With the probable closure of The Pirate Bay (TPB) in the near future the torrent scene will be more decentralized. Especially if the TPB tracker goes down. Luckily there are new upcoming trackers to take its place. The problem is that they are not in many of the torrent files. Besides adding the trackers manually there are some ways to fix it. One way is to re-upload all torrents with more trackers. That doesn't seem like a plausible method. Another way is the have an indexer site (like TPB, Mininova or BTjunkie) update all the torrents with more trackers. This doesn't seem like a bad idea. Another idea, and this is my idea for the client, is to have an option in the client to automatically add more trackers to all torrents loaded. That would be very useful for torrents that do not include any new public tracker such as Openbittorrent (OBT)
