Change tracker URL, ideally on multiple torrents at once

One of the trackers I use had a non-SSL tracker which they've deprecated and I have a large number of torrents using the old one. As far as I can tell I can't edit the tracker through stig, just view it, though I could be mistaken. I would like the ability to mark a bunch of torrent and edit their trackers somehow. Also, if you know the best way to do this outside of stig, I would like to know. Is there some file I could just edit in a text editor (while the daemon is temporarily shut down)?

I've struggled with this issue myself. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to do this with stig. You can add and remove trackers from a torrent with the `tracker` command (`stig help tracker`), but you can't select torrents based on an announce URL, IIRC. I somehow managed to write a shell script that did the job. I don't remember the details, but it was pretty dirty. The safest way would probably be to get a list of infohashes and then run something like: stig tracker add infohash=<INFOHASH> <NEW ANNOUNCE URL> \ && stig tracker remove infohash=<INFOHASH> <OLD ANNOUNCE URL> No guarantees this will work! I strongly suggest that you backup your torrents (e.g. /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/torrents/) before you do anything.

Add url-announce filter and tracker replace command
