If I click on "Download this torrent" on a torrent that I already have...one that is currently downloading..for example if I accidentally hit the download button twice...Utorrent or Bittorrent will give me a message that says, "The torrent you are trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?" why is it asking me if I want to load the trackers from it? What does this mean? I thought if I am downloading a file using Utorrent then I already have loaded the trackers from it....? Is this not required before I can download a torrent or have it in my list of torrents from the first time I clicked on "Download this torrent"? What does this message mean? What will happen different what changes if I click on "yes" from this message? I cannot tell any thing different when I click on "yes" or "no"...either way...I already have the "trackers" from it...dont I?
Please advise;
Thank you in advance for your answers,

whe n you download the same torrent twice and adding trackers, what you are doing is good because who ever is seeding that torrent will also seed the one you have already downloaded. In certain cases when you download the file and it does not have alot of seeders you will look for copies of the very same file with additional trackers and or seeders. So in plain english by downloading multiple versions of the same file you are just increasing the speed rate of your download by adding additional trackers. Do you understand know?

Yes you indeed do have the trackers but because the torrent you just downloaded has a same name as one of the torrents you are downloading it will both be recognized and when it asks you to add the trackers meaning it will add the seeders and peers from that torrent you just downloaded to the one you are downloading.Btw if you do you can sometimes mess up the download speed because if there are more peers then it makes it bad if the one you have has a decent amount of seeders.

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, I think you should try clicking yes. It's saying that the .torrent has already been added to the list, but it seems to me from what you said that it hasn't. And yes, the trackers come with the torrent in the first place.
