Why does my Transmission client tell me my tracker list contains invalid URLs?
When I type in custom trackers into the tracker list, and try to save the list I get a message saying:
List contains invalid URLs
Am I doing something wrong?

This was the first link hat I found on google... after trying about a dozen from a list i found online I realized why I was getting this message. Windows uses a carriage return and newline to denote an end of line, where unix only uses a newline. I opened the file in my IDE (geany) and converted the line endings and it worked for the entire list.
Hope this helps.

Probably because it includes udp trackers, which aren't supported in Transmission until version 2.30.

The add button adds one link at a time. I used edit. which opens something like a text file where multiple trackers can be added at once.

Issue may be because of certain characters in the list. Open sublime text and copy the list you want to add.
Then use Ctrl+H and replace ss (assuming lines are separated by one empty line) with n (use Regular Expession option) and try pasting. It worked for me. Initially i tried copying one 1 line and noticed some control character was being inserted (may be true in your case too. Use the 'Add' button in transmission to verify)
