What are Torrent Trackers?

Torrent trackers are servers that assist the communication between a torrent protocol and peers.

Peers are simply people who are downloading a specific torrent at any given time.

Seeders are people who have downloaded the torrent already and are helping others download it by uploading the files themselves.

Essentially, a torrent tracker functions by increasing the number of seeders and peers, thereby allowing faster download of files. There are many public or open tracker list for uTorrent you can use to boost your download speed. You can find many of these lists online, but make sure they are updated and concurrent.

Adding trackers to uTorrent is not that difficult. First of all, make sure you download the latest version of uTorrent from the official website.

Conclusion

While tinkering with uTorrent features, you probably noticed the Update Tracker option when you right-click a torrent. Personally, I do not think this feature improves the download speed. The best way to update your trackers is to add trackers manually, as I have shown you.

Before you leave, do not forget to always add trackers from an updated list. Some trackers might be okay for now, but in the future, it may get outdated. Always search for uTorrent trackers list online and search for the current time and period, then you are good to go.
