torrent.trackers makes a request even if includTrackers was used

[BigBLittleS]

Describe the bug

When calling torrent_info(includeTrackers = True) qbittorrent will return the trackers in the response.

When using the torrents from the response if you use torrent.trackers it makes another API request to get the trackers instead of using what was returned from the initial request.

Steps to reproduce

This will make a request for the trackers when torrent.trackers is accessed

torrents = con.torrent_info(includeTrackers = True)
for torrent in torrents:
  for tracker in torrent.trackers:
    print(tracker.url)

Expected behavior

The trackers included in the torrent_info request should be used instead.

Screenshots

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Python version: python-3.13.9
• Software versions:
  • qBittorrent: 5.1.2
  • qbittorrent-api: HEAD

That might be a reasonable optimization. Notably, the trackers() method for the Torrent object existed before qBittorrent added support to return trackers with torrent info request.

That said, a workaround is to not use the trackers() method and just use the trackers dictionary key.

For example:

>>> t=client.torrents_info(include_trackers=True)[0]
