Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!

[–] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is there a way to use this in a more automated way instead of copying and pasting each time?

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

On qBittorrent probably on next release

I don't have direct answer to the question, but I generally don't add public trackers to my (public) torrents. DHT/PEX usually works fine for me for finding seeds on the occasion that I do need something from public torrent sites.

I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.

Whatever shows up here: https://newtrackon.com/list

Only lists trackers submitted that are online with a 95% uptime.

honestly... I don't know what a tracker is, I just click the magnet button and qBitTorrent just downloads it
Is there something more I should be doing?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I don't do that anymore. I just use a Debrid service and enjoy consistent 1Gbps download speeds.

[–] riimoh@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is the point of adding other public tracker? Is it to cross seed? Or just higher probability to connect to a peer?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

The second one mainly.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

I add a bunch I copypasted from a list somewhere

Doot for later
