Description
The new GTK tracker list uses up too much space, it's difficult to work out.
I suggest that, at least in the non-verbose view, every tracker should be represented by just a single line, such as
tracker.microsoft.com:6969 8 peers 2 minutes ago, next in 30 minutes

Also, I disagree that the current version is hard to work out:
tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 Got a list of 15 peers 17 minutes ago Asking for more peers in 9 minutes
seems dead simple to me. What part of that seems hard to work out?
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
I'm open to suggestions for improving the new UI, but this propoal is (1) harder for casual users to interpret (what did the 8 peers do 2 minutes ago? ;) and (2) trades vertical space for horizontal space.
Since most torrents only have a couple of trackers, IMO it makes more sense to break things up into a couple of lines, than to try and cram it all on one wide line.
There's probably no "Right" answer here though.
