Correct tracker spacing during torrent creation


When browsing torrents users can see how many seeders and leechers a torrent has. To display these stats our site uses the trackers you use when you created a torrent. When trackers are not correctly added to a torrent you create site will only showing one trackers instead of your entire list.


How site shows health of your torrents:
The number of seeders, leechers and downloads are displayed on your torrent page.

The number of seeders and leechers also shows on the browse page.

To update your stats on site go to this thread.


Adding trackers to your torrent correctly:

For site to display your trackers correctly you need to add a empty line between the trackers you add when you are creating a torrent. The trackerlist should look like this:

For an up to date tracker list go to this thread.

For a tutorial on how to create torrents on different bittorrent clients go to this thread.


Example of torrent with a correctly spaced trackerlist:

Here you see the torrent created on uTorrent. There's a white line between the trackers.

Image error

On the torrent page you will see the health of the torrent.

Image error

When you press the "Update Seed Stats" button you will see the list of trackers you added to your torrent.

Image error


Example of torrent with an incorrectly spaced trackerlist:

Here you see the torrent created on uTorrent. There is no white line between the trackers.

Image error

On the torrent page you will see the health of the torrent.

Image error

When you press the "Update Seed Stats" button you will see only 1 tracker and not the list of trackers you added to your torrent.

Image error


What you can do when you uploaded the torrent without spaced trackerlist:

It's not possible to edit the trackers of your torrent here on site.

When you uploaded a torrent without white lines between trackers there are 3 options:
  • Leave the torrent on site and on your bittorrent client as it is (not recommended)
  • Leave the torrent on site as it is, but update the trackers in your bittorrent client
  • Delete the torrent on site, change the trackers in your bittorrent client and re-upload the torrent on site (recommended)

    For a tutorial on how to edit trackers on your torrent in your bittorrent client go to this thread.

    For an up to date tracker list go to this thread.

    You don't have to add all of them, just a few will do and remember the empty lines between each tracker u add, like Angelina:_vip::_trusted_user::_sitefriend::_female::_sitelover::_junkie::_kitty::_sun::_turtle: showed you

    For anyone intrested, this is down to tracker "tiers".
    By leaving a space, you are adding them to different tiers, and they will work in parallel.

    If you dont leave the space, they will still work, just not in the way most people on public trackers expect.
    They are all added to the same "tier" which means each works as a backup of the other, this is how private sites normally work.

    The client will process each tier in parallel, and each tracker within a tier sequentially.

    Sequentially means it starts by using the first tracker, if that works, nothing more happens.
    If the first tracker fails, it will switch to trying the next tracker in the tier list, and run on that (only).
    Each time the tracker in use fails, it tries the next in the tier list (and back round to the first one again).

    Also worth noting that not all clients create torrents the same way.
    In some, it doesnt matter if you leave a space or not, they will always add them in different tiers.
    In others their are tick boxes to determine how to add them, and some allow you to specify the tier.

    Thanks Battlestar

    I don't suppose you know why sometimes all trackers work, but sometimes you have to stop and start the torrent to make them all work?

    Sounds like a client oddity to me, I've never seen that happen.
    Of course, public trackers are not always reliable, sometimes they will just fail, and then work next time you try.

    Just wondering if the highlighted trackers count as one tracker as the client will only ever use one as there is no gap. Handy if the udp is down but the http is not.

    udp://open.demonii.si:1337/announce

    udp://opentor.org:2710/announce

    udp://9.rarbg.to:2710/announce

    udp://explodie.org:6969/announce

    Well it seems pretty likely they will be the same.

    That also means its likely that if one is down, the other will be as well, so not much gained. :)

    I've will effectively always only have 14 trackers even if they are all good. So if I added another working tracker I would have 15 possible working trackers but the count would be 16. What would happen?

    You cant have 16 trackers on TG.

    Also, you dont need 15 trackers, or 14, that's just massive overkill and seriously unnecessary overhead.

    Cheers battlestar my point is sort of mute:) So you can only have a max of 15 no matter what the tracker config of http, https or udp is.

    Here we recommend no more than 15 good working trackers per upload:_party:_pirate
    You don't really need 15 but some will go down/up over time.
    You can find the latest list of good working trackers in the thread below...


    Have fun:_:P:_pirate
