• Clients that perform poorly with many trackers
• Mobile devices with limited resources
• Private trackers supplementation

Best suited for:

• qBittorrent - Handles 20 trackers efficiently
• Transmission - Lightweight and fast with this list
• Deluge - Optimal performance with moderate tracker count
• rTorrent - Perfect for headless servers
• Aria2 - Excellent for download managers

File Format

The list uses a simple newline-separated format:

udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce

udp://open.demonii.com:1337/announce

udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce

https://torrent.tracker.durukanbal.com:443/announce

Protocol Distribution

The best trackers list typically includes:

UDP

~19 trackers

Fastest protocol with lowest overhead

HTTPS

Integration Examples

qBittorrent

Add to qBittorrent:

1. Download the list
2. Go to Tools → Options → BitTorrent
3. Check “Automatically add these trackers to new downloads”
4. Paste the entire list content

Or use automation:

# Download and add to qBittorrent config
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/trackers_best.txt \
  >> ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf

Transmission

# Download trackers
trackers=$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/trackers_best.txt | \
  grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' ',')

# Add to all active torrents
for torrent in $(transmission-remote -l | grep -v Sum | awk '{print $1}'); do
  transmission-remote -t $torrent -td "$trackers"
done

Deluge

Install the default trackers plugin:

# Clone the plugin
git clone https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/deluge-default-trackers

# Configure to use trackers_best.txt
echo "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/trackers_best.txt" \
  > ~/.config/deluge/trackers_list.txt

Aria2

# Download and format for aria2
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/trackers_best.txt | \
  grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' ',' > trackers.txt

# Add to aria2.conf
echo "bt-tracker=$(cat trackers.txt)" >> ~/.aria2/aria2.conf

Alternative: IP Address Version

Automation

Automate daily updates with cron:

#!/bin/bash
# update-trackers.sh

# Download latest list
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/trackers_best.txt \
  -o /tmp/trackers_best.txt

# Import to your torrent client
# (client-specific commands here)

echo "Trackers updated: $(date)"

Add to crontab:

# Update trackers daily at 3 AM
0 3 * * * /path/to/update-trackers.sh

Lists are updated daily around midnight UTC. Schedule your automation to run a few hours after to ensure you get the latest version.

Troubleshooting

Trackers showing as offline

• Verify your firewall allows UDP port 6969 (common tracker port)
• Check if your ISP blocks BitTorrent traffic
• Try the HTTPS-only trackers from the list
• Download the latest version (trackers change daily)

Slow peer discovery

• Ensure you’re using the latest list
• Check that DHT (Distributed Hash Table) is enabled in your client
• Try combining with trackers_all.txt for more sources
• Verify port forwarding is configured correctly

Too many tracker errors

• Some trackers may be temporarily down
• Your network may block certain protocols
• Try the IP address version to bypass DNS issues
• Consider using only protocol-specific lists (e.g., UDP-only)
