Introduction

+

+ A BitTorrent tracker is a crucial piece of infrastructure that coordinates peers in the + swarm. Without one, clients cannot discover each other and the torrent effectively becomes + unreachable. While modern BitTorrent clients support peer discovery through DHT, PEX, and + magnet links, having a healthy set of working trackers in your torrent file or client + configuration significantly improves download speeds and reliability. +

+

+ The challenge is that public trackers come and go — some disappear, others change + addresses, and new ones emerge. Keeping your tracker list up to date is an ongoing task. + Fortunately, several community-maintained resources do this work for you. This article + surveys the most reliable sources for finding active public BitTorrent tracker lists. +

+ + + New to trackers? If you are unsure what a BitTorrent tracker is or how it + works, check out our guide + What Is a BitTorrent Tracker? for a complete + introduction. + + +

ngosang/trackerslist

+ +

+ The most popular public tracker list on the internet. Maintained by Diego Heras (ngosang), + this GitHub repository is updated daily by an automated bot that tests each tracker and + sorts them by popularity and latency. It is the go-to source for anyone who needs a + curated list of working public trackers. +

+

The repository provides several distinct lists:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ListTrackersDescription
trackers_best.txt20Top-performing trackers with the best uptime and latency
trackers_all.txt76All active trackers, any protocol, sorted by performance
trackers_all_udp.txt43UDP-only trackers
trackers_all_http.txt19HTTP-only trackers
trackers_all_https.txt14HTTPS-only trackers
trackers_all_ws.txt1WebSocket (WebTorrent) trackers
trackers_all_i2p.txt13I2P trackers (requires I2P router)
trackers_all_yggdrasil.txt1Yggdrasil network trackers
trackers_all_ip.txt47All trackers with IP addresses instead of domains (avoids DNS issues)
+ +

+ The bot automatically removes trackers that point to the same domain or IP address, and it + maintains a blacklist of known unreliable entries. Each list is also available through CDN mirrors (jsDelivr and + GitHub Pages), making them easy to consume programmatically. +

+ +

How to Use ngosang/trackerslist

+

+ You can add the trackers to your torrent client manually, or use one of the many community + scripts that automate the process. Popular options include: +

+ +

+ You can also fetch the lists directly from the raw GitHub URLs or the CDN mirrors and + incorporate them into your own tooling. +

+ +

newTrackon

+ +

+ newTrackon is a meta-tracker service that continuously monitors the uptime of public + BitTorrent trackers. It probes each tracker every few minutes and publishes the results, + including an uptime percentage based on the last 1000 checks. Unlike ngosang's list, which + is a static snapshot, newTrackon provides a live view of tracker health. +

+

Key features that make newTrackon particularly useful for tracker list curation:

+
    +
  • + Real-time monitoring — each tracker is probed at regular intervals, so you + can see not just whether a tracker is working now, but how reliable it has been over time. +
    • +
  • + Uptime filtering — the + /list + page provides a client-ready list of all trackers with over 95% uptime. +
    • +
  • + Community submissions — anyone can submit a tracker URL for inclusion. The + service validates the submission with a live probe before adding it to the list. +
    • +
  • + Raw data endpoint — the + /raw + page exposes the latest connection attempt result for every tracked tracker, useful for debugging + and automation. +
    • +
+ +

+ For a practical walkthrough on submitting your own tracker to newTrackon, including how to + handle the one-tracker-per-IP constraint and configure BEP34 DNS records, see our + dedicated guide: + Submitting Trackers to newTrackon. +

+ +

XIU2/TrackersListCollection

+ +

+ Another well-maintained and frequently updated tracker list. The project aggregates + trackers from multiple upstream sources — including ngosang/trackerslist, newTrackon, and + several others — into a single curated collection. It is a good alternative if you want a + broader set of trackers without having to combine lists yourself. +

+

The available lists include:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ListTrackersDescription
best.txt80Top-performing trackers across all protocols
all.txt129Complete collection from all upstream sources
http.txt58HTTP and HTTPS trackers only
nohttp.txt70Non-HTTP trackers (UDP and WebSocket)
+ +

Other Community Sources

+ +

Torrust Tracker Discussion

+ +

+ The Torrust project maintains a + community discussion on GitHub where tracker operators and users share working public trackers. This is a good + place to find new trackers that may not yet appear in the larger automated lists, as well as + to discuss tracker reliability and configuration with other community members. +

+ +

Built-in Tracker Lists in Torrent Clients

+

+ Most modern BitTorrent clients include a default list of public trackers that they add to + torrents automatically. These lists are maintained by the client developers and are often + a good starting point: +

+
    +
  • + qBittorrent — includes an option to automatically add trackers from ngosang's + list to new torrents. +
    • +
  • + Transmission — ships with a built-in list of public trackers in its source + code. +
    • +
  • + Deluge — supports tracker lists via plugins like + deluge-default-trackers. +
    • +
  • + BiglyBT — includes support for I2P and other alternative network trackers. +
    • +
+ +

How to Choose a Tracker List

+

+ With multiple sources available, here are some factors to consider when deciding which + tracker list to use: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Factorngosang/trackerslistnewTrackonXIU2/TrackersListCollection
Update frequencyDaily (automated bot)Continuous (live probes)Daily (aggregates multiple sources)
Protocol filtersSeparate lists per protocolSingle list, protocol variesHTTP-only, non-HTTP, and combined
Uptime trackingNo (presence only)Yes (percentage + history)No (aggregation only)
Client-readyRaw text files95%+ uptime filter at /listRaw text files
Submit new trackersVia GitHub issuesWeb form with live validationClosed (no longer accepts submissions)
IP-based listsYes (avoids DNS issues)NoNo
Alternative networksI2P, Yggdrasil, WebSocketMainstream onlyMainstream only
+ +

+ For most users, ngosang/trackerslist is the best choice: it is well + maintained, offers per-protocol lists, and provides IP-based alternatives for environments + with DNS problems. Use newTrackon when you care about long-term uptime + data or want to verify the reliability of a specific tracker before adding it to your + configuration. + XIU2/TrackersListCollection is a convenient option if you want a broader set + of trackers aggregated from multiple sources with minimal effort. +

+ + + Privacy note: HTTPS trackers encrypt the announce request (including the info + hash) in transit, while UDP trackers send it in plaintext. If privacy is a concern, prefer HTTPS + trackers over UDP ones. Note that the tracker operator will always see your IP address — that + is inherent to how the protocol works. + + +

Automating Tracker Updates

+

+ If you run a torrent client on a server (for example, a seedbox or a home NAS), you can + automate the process of keeping your tracker list fresh. A typical approach: +

+
    +
  1. Set up a cron job or systemd timer to download the latest list daily.
    2. +
  2. Parse the list and update your client's tracker configuration.
    3. +
  3. Use one of the community scripts linked above for your specific client.
    4. +
+

+ If you run a Torrust Tracker, you can enable both UDP and HTTP/S protocols simultaneously by adding multiple server + blocks in the configuration file: +

+ + 
[[udp_trackers]]
+bind_address = "0.0.0.0:6969"
+
+[[http_trackers]]
+bind_address = "0.0.0.0:7070"
+ +

+ Each protocol gets its own announce URL (for example udp://your-server:6969/announce + and https://your-server:7070/announce). You can add both to your torrent + files or client configuration. The tracker also supports an + external_ip + config option: when a peer announces from the same machine (127.0.0.1), the + tracker replaces their loopback address with this public IP so other peers in the swarm + can reach them. +

+ + + Running your own tracker? Torrust Tracker supports both UDP and HTTP/S + protocols. See the + Torrust Tracker repository + for setup instructions, or check out our + deployment guide to take your tracker into + production. + + +

Conclusion

+

+ Keeping your tracker list up to date is essential for a healthy BitTorrent experience. + Whether you use ngosang's comprehensive daily-updated lists, newTrackon's live uptime + monitoring, or a combination of both, these community resources save you from the tedious + task of manually testing and updating trackers. +

+

+ The ecosystem around public tracker lists is active and well maintained. Bookmark these + sources, set up automation if you run a server, and check back periodically — the list of + working trackers changes every day. +
