Hello everyone
I was wondering if we could modify the tracker of a .torrent file using one of the torrent software because most of the time the file I'm downloading fails to connect to the tracker.

Hi!
I think I've found a solution to your problem.
To change the tracker of a torrent file, you have two options:
- either you do it directly from your bittorrent client: for example, with uTorrent, when you have opened your torrent file, you can simply delete any trackers you don't care about (or add some as well).
- or you completely modify the torrent file (without changing the hash): to do this, you just need to edit the torrent file with an appropriate software like GVIM. Indeed, Torrent files are encoded in BEncoding format. I don't recommend this method because you need to have good knowledge about it...
So, I hope I answered your question.
