wtf is trackerslist?

Trackerslist is a curated, automatically updated collection of public BitTorrent trackers. When you download files using BitTorrent, trackers are the servers that help your torrent client find other people sharing the same file. More working trackers means more peers discovered, which typically means faster downloads and better success rates, especially for files with few seeders. The project offers several plain text lists you can copy and paste into your torrent client. The main list, "trackers_best," gives you the top 20 trackers ranked by popularity and responsiveness. If you want maximum coverage, "trackers_all" includes over 100. There are also filtered versions broken down by protocol, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket, plus special IP-address-based versions for situations where DNS resolution is causing problems. A bot runs daily to check which trackers are alive, removes dead ones and duplicates, and re-sorts everything by performance. The primary audience is anyone using a BitTorrent client like qBittorrent, Transmission, or aria2 who wants to improve download speeds without manually hunting for working trackers. For example, if you're downloading a Linux ISO or a public domain movie and it's stuck at low speed because your client can't find enough peers, pasting in these tracker lists can help it connect to more sources. The project also links to several community scripts and tools that automate adding the trackers to your .torrent files or client, so you don't have to update them by hand. One practical caveat: the README shows a last update date of November 2021, so while the automated maintenance approach is sound, the lists may not reflect the current state of public trackers. The project is essentially a community-maintained directory, simple in concept, but genuinely useful for anyone who regularly downloads via BitTorrent.
