List Statistics

General Lists

• trackers_best.txt: 20 trackers - Top-performing trackers
• trackers_all.txt: 112 trackers - Complete public tracker collection

Protocol-Specific Lists

• trackers_all_udp.txt: 51 UDP trackers
• trackers_all_http.txt: 47 HTTP trackers

How Lists Are Maintained

1. Automated Checking

   A bot automatically checks all trackers daily for availability and performance

2. Deduplication

   Trackers with the same domain or pointing to the same IP address are removed

3. Sorting

   Trackers are sorted by popularity and latency (best to worst)

4. Daily Updates

   All lists are regenerated and published every day with the latest data

Choosing the Right List

For most users, trackers_best.txt is recommended. It contains the 20 most reliable trackers and provides excellent performance without overwhelming your torrent client.

Decision Guide

Use Case	Recommended List	Reason
General torrenting	trackers_best.txt	Optimal balance of speed and reliability
Maximum peer discovery	trackers_all.txt	Access to all 112 available trackers
Firewall restrictions	Protocol-specific lists	Only use allowed protocols
DNS blocking/censorship	IP address lists	Bypass DNS-level blocking
UDP-only networks	trackers_all_udp.txt	Many networks only allow UDP
Corporate/school network	trackers_all_https.txt	HTTPS often passes firewalls

More trackers doesn’t always mean better performance. The trackers_best.txt list with 20 carefully selected trackers often performs better than using all 112 trackers.

Format Specification

All tracker lists use a standardized format:

protocol://domain:port/announce

protocol://domain:port/announce

protocol://domain:port/announce

Each tracker URL is followed by a blank line. This format is compatible with most BitTorrent clients including qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, and more.

Download Locations

Each list is available from three locations:

1. GitHub Raw - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngosang/trackerslist/master/[filename].txt
