What are trackers?
Tracker is a term used for a type of self-entered data. Your physician may want you to monitor particular health values. These values can be entered over a period of time. When the physician is given access, he can monitor your condition. Doctors have determined the five most common trackers to be: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, weight and heart rate. Your doctor can ask you to fill in one or more of them.
A tracker is a server that keeps track of the people, called peers, that are sharing the file(s) specified in a torrent. BitTorrent clients connect to these trackers to obtain a list of peers to which the client then connects to to obtain the various pieces of the file(s) specified in the torrent.
