Re: [libtorrent] force_reannounce() doesn't seem to do anything

[sledgehammer999 <sle...@qb...>]

The docs about force_reannounce() state this:

force_reannounce() will force this torrent to do another tracker request,
to receive new peers. The seconds argument specifies how many seconds from
now to issue the tracker announces.

*If the tracker’s min_interval has not passed since the last announce, the
forced announce will be scheduled to happen immediately as the min_interval
expires*. This is to honor trackers minimum re-announce interval settings.
