I'm looking for a torrent client with per tracker settings (i.e. ratio, speed limits etc). Windows or Linux, preferably both.

And what about multi-tracker torrents? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 16 '11 at 18:10
could you tell us about the underlying motivation of this wish? – Bora May 16 '11 at 18:20
@Bora: Different sites, different rules. SCC, BTN, and all other sites have different rules (found them on Fileshare freak). – Shiki May 16 '11 at 18:21
Instead, you can create groups and assign them settings acoordingly. – Bora May 16 '11 at 18:23
Well, I want to maintain good rating at some of the private trackers without too much micromanaging. My uplink is not so great as my downlink so I have to prioritize. Multi-tracker torrents are not an issue: the ones I'm interested in are not multi-tracker. – xxzoid May 16 '11 at 18:24

IMHO you may find rtorrent (a BitTorrent client for ncurses) useful in your case, something similar was requested ~4 years ago on their trac.

If you are not already aware of, try Vuze (formerly Azureus)

I went through a few of these and Deluge is the best I found so far - it will fit your requirements.

Deluge runs on headless machines and is managed through a console (tty), a web UI and GTK interface. There is a Firefox plugin available to handle .torrent files on a client transparently through the web UI.

I also tried uTorrent on Linux - whilst the Windows implementation is fantastic, the Linux version is not native enough and therefore neither too stable nor too integrated into the system. This may change though over time.

Transmission is officially Linux and Mac OS only, but otherwise fulfills your requirements. There is an unofficial windows port, which I have never tried.

Transmission is easy to use, I find. Especially the up/download limits are easy to set, with a simple system of General Limits and per-file limits that override the General Limits. You can toggle the per-file limits at any time, even remotely.
