How To Fix Tracker Problem With Specific Torrent Files

[ag87]

Hi,

 

I am a new user here, so please forgive any error in posting or searching existing information (I did search the forum, but I could not find the answers).

 

I have downloaded successfully with many torrent files, but a few give me errors.  One of those issues an error about "invalid URL" for most of the trackers (one more is "unregistered torrent pass"), and I was wondering:

 

1: Why are the trackers built into the torrent file?  Why aren't the trackers a general thing overall?  I guess I don't understand how this works.

 

2: If the trackers are bad, can I update them somehow? (manually fix the file)

 

3: If not, any advise?  Or are those torrent files simply no good? (meaning, won't ever work)

 

In case it matters, I am using an older version (I don't like updating things unless they're broken), but it has been working even very recently with most torrent files.

 

Thanks, I would appreciate any advise
