What client are you actually using?

I personally actually WROTE the code that handles that and I know for
sure that they DO indeed add multiple announce urls (I just
double-checked it on the main site, it still works). I made a mechanism
to attempt to partially load-balance the trackers on the less-advanced
clients that do not support multitracker, but there is no guarantee with
it that you will always get a working tracker.

Our trackers are all linked and share peer data as if they were one
tracker,.

| A short the a cut of the info of btmakemetafile.py:
|
|    announce_list = optional list of redundant/backup tracker URLs, in
| the format:
|           url[,url...][|url[,url...]...]
|                where URLs separated by commas are all tried first
|                before the next group of URLs separated by the pipe is
| checked.
|                If none is given, it is assumed you don't want one in the
| metafile.
|                If announce_list is given, clients which support it
|                will ignore the <announce> value.
|           Examples:
|                http://tracker1.com|http://tracker2.com|http://tracker3.com
|                     (tries trackers 1-3 in order)
|                http://tracker1.com,http://tracker2.com,http://tracker3.com
|                     (tries trackers 1-3 in a randomly selected order)
|                http://tracker1.com|http://backup1.com,http://backup2.com
|                     (tries tracker 1 first, then tries between the 2
| backups randomly)
|
|
| I would say your looking for the middle example or is there a problem
| with this?
|
| My current torrents only have one Tracker inside this means, that only
| peers on this tracker will see my seed. And if this tracker is broken,
| it would have no more seeds (if every server seed gets this torrent).
