Open torrent tracker list (September 2021) – Working trackers only

If you are looking to increase the download speed of your torrents, one of the best options is to ensure you are connected to a large number of torrent trackers. A torrent tracker is helping your torrent program (for example: uTorrent or qBittorrent) to discover more seeds and peers, which ultimately will help boost your download speed.

What is a torrent tracker?

A torrent tracker (or BitTorrent tracker) is actually a server that is connected to the internet. What is special about this tracker is that it understands the Bittorrent protocol. If you are now currently downloading a torrent file, you are already likely connected to one or more torrent tracker servers.

A torrent tracker is actually keeping a good overview of all the people currently downloading a certain torrent file. The tracker knows who has the complete file(s) already downloaded (this computer is called a ‘seed’), and who only has a piece of the full puzzle (this is called a ‘peer’).

If you add more torrent trackers, it means that you potentially increase the number of seeds and peers that are connected to the same torrent. More people can then potentially share the file(s) you need, and so you will receive a higher download transfer speed on your side.

Public versus private trackers: what are the differences?

In broad terms, we can distinguish two different types of torrent trackers: public and private trackers.

The best way for me to explain this concept to you is to compare these two types of trackers with a public and a private park.

  • A public tracker: just like a public park, a public tracker can be freely accessed by anybody. You do not need to pay for example. Anyone can connect to this tracker and use it. As a visitor, you know the park can be closed from time to time and you are likely OK with this: you don’t pay for it to begin with and are happy with this offering and the limitations.
  • A private tracker: imagine you own a private park nearby. You have to maintain the park (ensure the lawn is mown or the paths are litter free) and so this costs money. As a result, you only allow others to enter your park if they pay you a fee. Or, maybe you allow your family members to enjoy the park with paying but in that case they need to prove their identity. The same is true about a private tracker. It is working similarly as a public tracker, yet only a limited number of people will be entitled to use this tracker. Typically this type of tracker has a high availability and is faster compared to public trackers, because it is well-funded and maintained regularly.

How to add a tracker to your torrent program?

Each torrent file already contains a basic set of trackers. It means that once you add a torrent file to your torrent program, the torrent program will consult these default trackers.

Additionally, you want to manually add more torrent trackers via a working torrent tracker list. This action is fairly easy and the steps to follow are similar for each popular torrent program.

First, ensure you have clicked on the relevant torrent file. Then go to ‘trackers’. Right-click and select to add trackers to the existing list of trackers.

Select ‘Add a new tracker’ for the selected torrent file in your torrent downloading program

Next thing to do is go to the bottom of this page and copy the list of torrent trackers below. Then paste them in the new dialog window that just opened.

Add the torrent tracker list from this webpage into the torrent program, then click OK to confirm.

You will notice that after each URL there is a blank line. This is correct and is necessary for your torrent program to correctly process the list of trackers.

If you notice that not all the trackers are working (for example: you receive a time-out), then please note that these are public trackers and they may be temporarily offline for maintenance or the server is facing another issue.

One thought on “Open torrent tracker list (September 2021) – Working trackers only

  1. What do I do when after loading all the trackers they say that NONE of them are working?
    I suspect it’s somewhere in the configuration but I’m just not seeing the problem. Everything worked fine for awhile then one day they just stopped connecting.

    I’m using the latest version of qBitTorrent along with Norde VPN.
