Edit .torrent files to add or change the trackers.

I am a user of transmission-remote and it seems it cannot edit the torrent files; does anyone know a way to edit the .torrent files in order to add or change trackers?

I looked around, but I got nothing; mktorrent seemed fine but it seems unable to edit existing torrents...

Thanks.

I've used http://torrenteditor.com before and it works pretty well. The only problem is you have to restart your torrents with the new file to get the changes.

Re: Edit .torrent files to add or change the trackers.

Well, I wrote a vim plugin to edit torrents, its simple but works for my torrents.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98081

The latest version is at http://github.com/kazuoteramoto/vimtorrent (but I don't think I changed it from the version I posted here.)

I don't posted it to the vim.org because I'm the only one using it, and I prefer to have more ppl testing before.

You can try TrackerModify http://publicbt.com/tracker_modify.pl
I have it working from a cron job that processes new torrents.
Totally forgotten until I saw this post.

(edit: I'm using rtorrent. Just tested this on an already running torrent and no need to restart torrents)

Nice, I always though you had to restart the torrent for some reason.

The script perfectly add torrents to the .torrent file.
But, how do I add trackers to a running torrent in rtorrent. I tried adding trackers to a .torrent file in .sessions folder of rtorrent but no success.
