So basically, what should I do when this happens?

Maybe I should add its tracker(s) to the existing torrent? There is no way I can have two torrents with the same info_hash.

to download a file from one tracker, but I want to give a few (to raise the rating on them).

можно добавить трекер к существующему, только как при этом будет считаться рейтинг?

sorry...
You can add to the existing tracker, just as if this would be a rating?

I don't understand the sense of "rating" here. I tried to google translate your Russian sentence but the translation is the same.

I know that some torrent clients ask the user "This torrent already exists in the download list, do you want to add this torrent's trackers to the existing torrent?".

I did not implement this yet in qBittorrent but it would be very easy to do so. More trackers may help getting more peers/sources.

Some trackers (eg torrents.ru) take into account the rating

Rating \ ratio - this ratio is properly given to download.
(given + given on their distribution) / Downloads = Rating

Rate depends on the magnitude of the number of allowed concurrent downloads.
Rating 1 and above, while the number issued by - 100GB and above - 25 uploads.
> Or = 0.60 - allowed 15 uploads (consider 0.60 minimum "normal" ratings)
<0.60 - a
<Or = 0.30 - one download, but the new torrent file to download no longer available.

I don't see the link between:
* Having identical torrents (except for trackers)
and
* Tracker rating

What do you expect qBittorrent to do?

want to one and the same file, resounded at the same time on different trackers

This was implemented in SVN. I don't know how it will affect the rating. However, if new trackers are detected, they will be automatically added to the existing torrent.

I think my wish goes in the same direction.
There can also be one or more URL-seeds in the new torrent-file, which should be added.

Good Idea Ulrich, I patched SVN/trunk to add URL seeds too.

Adding a .torrent with a webseed to an existing torrent works fine if it is added manually.
The webseed is added to the existing torrent and the webseed download starts.
It does not work if it is added via the .torrent import directory.
The webseed is not added. The webseed download never starts.

Thanks also Christophe, for the fast fix.
I can confirm, that the fix is working.
The webseed is now added and working, if a webseed .torrent is added through the .torrent import directory to an existing torrent.
