Do torrents stay connected to trackers when completed

[shwetha17]

Do torrents stay connected to the tracker when they are completed/stopped? I have a bunch (maybe 20) torrents that are completed, and still in the list. Are they still connected to the trackers? If they are, how can I prevent that?

Yes. Stop these torrents

Yes. Stop these torrents

I meant in the list in ruTorrent some say "Completed" (they are done downloading and I stopped them while seeding), and some say "Stopped" (they aren't done downloading).

If you mean ruTorrent terms - then for your purpose this is a some. If you say 'stop' to torrent, then this torrent will not interact with trackers. And with peers. At all.
