<h1>Can I add and remove trackers in my transfers? </h1>
</div>
<p>Yes. To add trackers to a currently running transfer, go to Inspector > Tracker, and click the plus button (+). To remove them click minus button (-). Multiple trackers can also be added to torrent files you create. Each newly-added tracker will be placed in a new tier.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What is 'Tier 1', 'Tier 2', etc? </h1>
</div>
<p>Transmission supports multitracker torrents. All of a given torrent's trackers are divided into 'Tiers'. A tracker from each tier will be contacted simultaneously. Transmission randomly chooses a tracker from each tier until it finds one that works.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What does 'announce' mean? </h1>
</div>
<p>When Transmission <i>announces</i>, it is updating its presence to the tracker and asking for more peers. This happens periodically, at the discretion of the tracker, however can be manually invoked via Transfers menu >> Update Tracker.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What does 'scrape' mean? </h1>
</div>
<p><i>Scraping</i> the tracker simply means asking for information about the swarm itself. For example, the number of peers, seeds etc.
