ISSUE:
I have ~600 torrents now and some have outdated trackers/not working or ones with old PID (user identification numbers on private trackers that are part of announce url) in its URL that needs bulk replace.

Any hack to fix it, to replace old announce URL PIDs..

An idea to create NEW FEATURE - tracker manager:

Allow deleting/adding particular tracker or multiple trackers from/to all torrents (or better only from/to torrents belonging to certain category, tag or torrent type (public/private) - maybe i can just filter out torrents, select multiple, right click, "Manage trackers", one text area for tracker addition, other for tracker removal, other for search for X and replace by Y.
Show list of all trackers and show statistics for them. Example:

filter out trackers by the downtime in days: 7, 30, 90 or by the number of days in which tracker was last connectable (day would be considered only one in which qbt was running), by the number of unique peers helped establish connection resulting in download/upload.

And allow sorting trackers by any of the mentioned criteria/columns so one can select worst ones and bulk remove them from all torrents in case after removal the torrent would still has at least 2 other trackers so i do not end up tracker less on some torrents.

Thank You

I'd also like such a feature. I sometimes add a large list of trackers for various torrents that have very low traffic.

List that I use is normally from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

Duplicate requests of this has been asked multiple times before:

First example of it I found:
[Wishlist] qbittorrent "add a new tracker" not functioning for ALL highlighted/selected torrents https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/1261
"Is this something you wish for? It's standard behavior in every program. If you select more than one item and add new trackers to them all items should get the new trackers. If you can select more than one item an this option is visible then it should work too or else it's a bug. I was on my way to report this as a new bug when i saw this. So please fix this."

Great idea. It's a pain to work with "stalled" torrents using qBittorent. Would be great to be able to bulk remove or change a tracker, replace all the trackers for these torrents, ...
