Bug Description
In some countries (for example, Italy) some trackers' addresses (for example, the pirate bay) are blocked by IP at the ISP level, but usually every torrent uses more than one tracker so it's not impossible to download it. however, qb wastes lots of time trying to access the blocked tracker, and sometimes the download doesn't even start, unless you manually remove such trackers from the list, for every torrent.
it would be nice if qb could have a blacklist for those trackers so that it doesn't even try to contact them.

This would indeed be interesting. However, libtorrent- rasterbar allows to remove only user-defined trackers right now. As a consequence, I cannot alter trackers defined in the torrent file itself. I will contact libtorrent author about this.
