The thing is, having no working tracker is not really an error nor a problem. Trackers are not even required in torrent files. qBittorrent uses DHT and Peer Exchange to operate without trackers. Thus, indicating an error when there is no working tracker can be misleading.

You are considering one scenario (which is the torrent has been updated on the tracker). But in that case, I see no reason to display an error: your current torrent is fine. If the torrent was updated on the tracker, then its info_hash changed and it is a totally new torrent file. I cannot detect this and I cannot parse the tracker message since it is not standard.
