You asked if you need lots of trackers.

Moe explained that you do not need lots of trackers. [That doesn't mean you cannot have lots of trackers, you can. You just don't need them.]

H4ckus10 explained that you can add 10 trackers. [That is correct. You can add 10 trackers. You can 10000 trackers if you want to. You don't need to, and it is not a good idea, but nothing will actually stop you.]

As for your last question, re. uploading to TPB specifically, you do NOT need to add 3 or 4 trackers. You do not need to add any trackers but there is nothing stopping from you adding as many trackers as you want. But no matter what you do TPB won't even look at the trackers in your torrent, it will completely ignore them. All it uses the torrent file for is to calculate the torrent hash. Then it constructs a magnet link from that torrent hash plus a selection of trackers of it's own choosing (which change from time to time).

Thank you for the update Smile
