It must wait for at least 2 * LIVESYNC_BEACON_INTERVAL seconds in order to inspect beacons from all tracker instances and inquire only the one with most torrents. If it sees a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL within that time frame, it's likely, that another scrape sync is going on. It should reset its state to needs no inquiry. It should be reenabled on the next beacon, if still needed. packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_INQUIRE [ 0x0008 0x04 id of tracker instance to inquire ] The inquired tracker instance answers with as many scrape tell packets it needs to deliver stats about all its torrents packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL [ 0x0008 0x14 info_hash 0x001c 0x04 base offset (i.e. when was it last announced, in minutes) 0x0020 0x08 downloaded count ]* Each tracker instance that receives a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL, looks up each torrent and compares downloaded count with its own counter.
