How to add trackers for transmission-daemon?

I'm using transmission-daemon with its default web-ui. As the default tracker list is almost out-of-date, download speed is slow.
I was using aria2 previously, and in aria2, I can manually add trackers. How could I accomplish the same thing for transmission-daemon?
BTW, I'm not very familiar with bt. Sometimes I see some solutions about adding trackers to a torrent file? What is that? Does it mean trackers can be embedded into torrent files? But I think the downloader could still use additional trackers right? Just like how aria2 works.
Thanks in advance!

Don't know if this is what you want.
Code: Select all
[jsntyyl@raspberry_pi ~]$ transmission-edit --help
Usage: transmission-edit [options] torrent-file(s)
Options:
-h --help Display this help page and exit
-a --add <url> Add a tracker's announce URL
-d --delete <url> Delete a tracker's announce URL
-r --replace <old> <new> Search and replace a substring in the announce URLs
-V --version Show version number and exit
[jsntyyl@raspberry_pi ~]$

Is it at all possible to point the daemon to a file containing tracker urls?

If you need to stick to the default web-UI I can't help you. Adding trackers to a magnet or torrent file itself requires a remove+re-add action. For a magnet, which is a URL, this is reasonably simple. For a torrent file this requires you to edit the torrent file itself.
If you are willing to switch to
Shift you can easily (batch) add trackers to torrents within the web-UI. Adding trackers has been in the
rpc-spec for many years now so I wonder if and why this functionality isn't in the default web-UI at all.
