Eearlier, I published some of the best open torrent trackers that you can use to speed up your torrent downloads. Given we are at the beginning of a new year, I once again publish an up-to-date tracker list that is to be copy and pasted into the torrent program to find more seeds and peers.

What is a torrent tracker?

First, as a reminder if you don’t know this yet, I’ll explain what a torrent tracker is and what the advantages are for your torrent files.

A torrent tracker is in fact a host or a server, that is connected to the internet, which keeps track of which users are currently downloading and uploading files via the torrent protocol. If you start downloading for example the latest Ubuntu ISO file via torrents, the tracker server will allow you to connect to other users who are equally downloading that very same file (‘peers’) – or users already have the said file completely (‘seeds’).

Why should I manually add more trackers to my torrent downloads?

For popular downloads (example can be an Ubuntu LTS ISO file), you will likely not benefit much from manually adding more tracker servers in the torrent program. If a given torrent is already well seeded by many people, you may already download the files at your maximum available speed. Your maximum available downloading speed is basically what your internet service provider is offering as your home connection. This is the theory speed, you should include possible ‘factors’ that could reduce it: your Wi-Fi connection may be unstable, or someone else in the house who uses the same network is heavily using the internet as well.

Generally speaking, a torrent tracker list will allow you to add more seeds and peers who are uploading the same file as you are. The more people who can potentially sent you pieces of the files means that your net download speeds will go up. In the end, this means you have to wait less time for a download to complete.

How to add torrent trackers?

Adding the below torrent tracker list to your torrent program is fairly easy.

Imagine you want to download Ubuntu as a torrent file and opened it in qBittorrent (other programs will work very similarly, such as uTorrent, Bittorrent, Vuze, Tixati, …).

• Open your torrent program
• Click on the torrent you are downloading
• Open the ‘Trackers’ page
• Right click > Add a new tracker…
• Paste the torrent tracker list in the new window and click ‘OK’
