Transmission multiple tracker support

In my opinion, one essential feature of a Bittorrent client is the ability to add multiple custom trackers to torrents. This is not only useful in getting more peers, which in most cases results in faster downloads. It also adds a level of redundancy, so should one tracker go down, the transfer keeps going.

I just noticed today that the Mac Bittorrent client Transmission now has this feature. Apparently it’s been there since v1.30 (I’m using v1.33). Tracker entry could be streamlined a bit though; at the moment, you need to add trackers one at a time. In uTorrent you can quickly paste several in one go. What would be really nice would be a global custom tracker list that was added to every torrent loaded into the program.
