SSL Tracker?
-
I notice that in my profile, there is one selection highlighted in gold called SSL TRACKER and it is off.
Should that be off?
I honestly have no clue what this setting is for.

The SSL tracker is a more secure option. Some VPN providers, certain torrent clients, and some proxy services don't play well with the SSL tracker. I would suggest enabling the SSL tracker option so that all new .torrent files that you download will tell your torrent client to use the SSL tracker by default.
If you want to test whether or not you will have issues with the SSL tracker option, you can try changing the tracker URL in your torrent client for an existing torrent. To do this, simply change the beginning of the URL.
Change this: http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/
To this: https://tracker.gaytor.rent/If you are able to switch over to the SSL tracker without any issue, then I would recommend that you change ALL your existing torrents over to the SSL tracker, and enable that option so that all future downloads are automatically branded with the SSL tracker, instead of the regular tracker.

I'm doing some testing. So far, I've found that in the above, it is CRITICAL that the TW version is HTTP while the RU version is HTTPS The S is for secure. If you put the S on the TW version, you will not get anything. Both trackers can be used at the same time. The TW version seems to pull a few more peers. Once the peers are found, deleting the trackers from the client will not stop the download - but will briefly pause it for some reason. In Utorrent, make sure you put a blank like between trackers. I go to ADD TRACKER, CTRL+X, CTRL+V, CTRL+V (again) making sure there is a line between the two. Edit one of the RU versions to be a TW:2710 with http instead of https
The mystery that eludes me is why bittorrent and utorrent which look exactly alike, often find different peers. Bittorrent downloads faster, while Utorrent uploads a LOT faster.
