trackers.use_udp.set = no seems to ENABLE udp trackers

[PulsedMedia-Aleksi]

Even if you specify no it seems to enable udp trackers. Only commenting this line out will disable udp trackers, and result in "cannot connect to udp tracker" messages.

Version: 0.9.8 latest git / 0.13.8 udns branch. xmlrpc-c rev 3116 Distro Debian 10 with all latest patches

[PulsedMedia-Aleksi]

Happens on 0.9.7/0.13.7 as well -- as well as mainline branch 0.9.8/0.13.8 Have not tried older on Debian 8 yet.

Does not get any peers from the udp trackers in this instance. User has thousands of torrents, all of which have as first udp tracker there causing blocking behavior, similar to #999

rTorrent just keeps trying to update UDP trackers. Not sure if the setting makes rtorrent to disregard any results, but at the very least it tries to update which blocks majorly everything.

Nope, tried couple variations and did not fix. include = false This was on 0.9.7/0.13.7 which currently using for testing. Doubt newer would change that.

Note that trackers.use_udp only effects newly loaded torrents and the trackers.(enable|disable) commands. Once it's set to 0, you can run the following from the Ctrl-X to quickly toggle all trackers, and UDP ones won't be re-enabled:

trackers.disable=0
trackers.enable=0
