As a rule, tracker queries normally take place at half-hour intervals.
Of course, how often the client scrapes is up to the coder (and is
sometimes user configurable) but half an hour is the usual rule of
thumb I use in my code.

That's client specific but it's probably because they require
encryption and you are running with encryption turned off.
Alternatively you're requiring an encrpypted channel and their client
is has it switched off. Not much you can do about it, other than
toggle your own encryption status.
