What public trackers do you always add to every torrent?
Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!
Is there a way to use this in a more automated way instead of copying and pasting each time?
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.

One begets the other, although your mileage may vary
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?What is the point of adding other public tracker? Is it to cross seed? Or just higher probability to connect to a peer?
The second one mainly.
I don’t do that anymore. I just use a Debrid service and enjoy consistent 1Gbps download speeds.
I add a bunch I copypasted from a list somewhere
Doot for later

I disagree. There have been many times I’ve been able to find at least one peer for torrents that otherwise would never complete. Besides, how much time is copy and pasting really wasting?

Oh, good idea, then there wouldn’t be any time wasted ;)

Private trackers generally will flag their torrents as private, allowing only their tracker to connect. But yes, better safe than sorry.
