Comment 14 for bug 508435

Thanks for working on this. Tooltip with an error is a nice feature, but it's too easy to miss when computer is left unattended. Anyway if a torrent is paused (automatically or manually) it's easily noticed by changed color and icon in the transfer list. So I suggest to introduce another one color and/or icon for torrents without working trackers (see my comment #3 above). Just mark them in the transfer list, as you do for paused and downloading ones. FYI, uTorrent behaves in this way also.

As for detection of failed trackers, I don't understand why it could be hard. Logically it's simple, "Trackers" tab in the bottom panel already has all needed information. If every tracker of a torrent has status "Not working" (namelly), that's it - mark the torrent in the transfer list. Possibly data encapsulation used in the current code internally could prevent implementing this idea, but I hope it will not be too hard to modify.
