Every days a school day I did'nt know any of this So Have I to pick a tracker from the list and do my seeding there or is there other trackers I can add to the list?

each site should have it's own tracker.
it is a very, very, very, good rule that if you are going to seed use that site's tracker for that site only.

and for downloading on a site you will most likely have to be signed up to use that site. otherwise the torrent when loaded into you client will just tell you rejected by tracker.

Ahh so whats the done thing in the BT world do you sign upto them all or stick to 1 u like? Are there more trackers than shown on make torrent 2 or is that it?

Most people stick to just a few sites that they like...
For example I regularly use the empornium (porn), phoenix-torrents (games, music, movies), and supranova (odd bits and bobs) and that's just about it.

what shows up in make torrent under trackers is those trackers that you have encountered. It keeps a ruuning tab from the differnt tracker that you have used to upload and download. Is that all the trackers out there? NO!! there are tons, in fact there is no reason you couldn't create and make your very own.

Ok cool its all getting a lot clearer now, I was checking out some stuff on suprnova and found a list of trackers on there, if there's a list like that available does all of them require that I register before using for seeding?

I am guessing that you are wanting to share something on nova? And that you went to the top of the suprnova page and clicked on upload a torrent. If so you will get a list of the suprnova trackers, feel free to use any of these trackers to upload a torrent to suprnova. (you are uploading a torrent to suprnova so use the suprnova tracker. if it was a differnt site you would use thier tracker)


As for downloading off nova (getting stuff), it's really a mixed bag.
If someone is doing the proper thing, and using nova's tracker to seed their stuff you should not have to register with the tracker. Nova is one of the few sites left that does not require user registration on use the tracker.

However, not everyone follows the rules. Some of the torrents on Nova have been stolen from other sites, which means they are on the other site's tracker. If this is the case you may have to register with that other site before you can begin downloading the torrent. In most cases if someone has "jacked" a torrent from another site they will put a link at the end of the information line leading to the site you need to register with.

Suprnova has been having troubles during the last few days....
they've changed isp's and are trying to get things to 100% again and aren't there.

Things will be back to normal shortly.

Yeah seems to be a bit hit and miss at minute .
