Add to qBittorrent:

Download the list
Go to Tools → Options → BitTorrent
Check “Automatically add these trackers to new downloads”
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

# 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

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

# 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

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)
