+``scrape_tracker()`` will send a scrape request to the tracker. A scrape request queries the
+tracker for statistics such as total number of incomplete peers, complete peers, number of
+downloads etc.
+
+This request will specifically update the ``num_complete`` and ``num_incomplete`` fields in
+the torrent_status_ struct once it completes. When it completes, it will generate a
+scrape_reply_alert_. If it fails, it will generate a scrape_failed_alert_.
