+ 
+  Each tracker instance SHOULD broadcast a beacon once in every 5 minutes after
+  running at least 30 minutes:
+
+  packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_BEACON
+  [ 0x0008 0x08 amount of torrents served
+  ]
+
+  If a tracker instance receives a beacon from another instance that has more than
+  twice its torrent count, it asks for a scrape. It must wait for at least 5 + 1
+  minutes in order to inspect beacons from all tracker instances and chose 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. So one tracker instance MUST NOT react to beacons within
+  5 minutes of last seeing a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL packet. After a scrape sync all
+  tracker instances have updated their torrents, so an instance in a "want inquire"
+  state should wait for the next round of beacons to chose the tracker with most
+  data again.
+
+  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

+  Each tracker instance that receives a scrape tell, looks up each torrent and
+  compares downloaded count with its own counter. It can send out its own scrape
+  tell packets, if it knows more.
