I'm getting back into torrenting and i have a bunch of YIFY, YTS, and RARBG torrents still leftover from back in the day. As the screenshot shows, most of their trackers are not working, i assume they went offline when the relevant websites went offline.

The DHT is carrying and will keep these in circulation, especially when a lot of search engines use the DHT; but a lot of them are still getting stuck, it would be better if the trackers worked.

Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too? I'm looking for YTS and RARBG especially but i'd welcome any good current tracker that helps people find my shit

The vast majority of public torrent indexers do not run their own trackers.

Dead trackers are common with old torrents. Personally I remove all the public trackers and just let DHT take care of that.

But if you prefer to have active public trackers on there then you could

  1. Remove all the dead ones
  2. Add the top x trackers from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist
