Keeping RARBG’s torrents alive by adding new trackers to them about frostwire HOT 4 OPEN

I believe we currently do something similar, can't remember at the moment when... I think when a new torrent is created but not tracked by DHT we add a list of default trackers

This is in TorrentUtil.java (desktop only)

    private static void makeTorrentAndDownload(final File file, final UITorrentMakerListener uiTorrentMakerListener, final boolean showShareTorrentDialog, boolean dhtTrackedOnly) {
        try {
            file_storage fs = new file_storage();
            libtorrent.add_files(fs, file.getAbsolutePath());
            create_torrent torrentCreator = new create_torrent(fs);
            if (!dhtTrackedOnly) {
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://open.demonii.com:1337", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://tracker.leechers-paradise.org:6969", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://exodus.desync.com:6969", 0);
                torrentCreator.add_tracker("udp://tracker.pomf.se", 0);
            }

This list probably needs an update

it'd be cool if someone submitted a patch that would fetch the contents of trackers_best, made a String array with the tracker list, and saved it as a StringArraySetting in the BitTorrentSettings class, also the timestamp when this list was last fetched, we could try and refresh that list if the current list is older than 24 hours.

Then we can use that list when creating torrents, and we can then use that list to announce all torrents being downloaded/seeded to the latest list of best trackers.

That's nice to know, but I think you may have that backwards. That list is to be added to torrent with no trackers, so, "only tracked" by DHT.

Yeah, I wouldn't go down that route. That list works as a quick reference to what trackers are active right now, but it has problems, as there is even a tracker for I2P there. Plus, I am not even sure all those trackers work, as I couldn't get a response from all of them (but maybe is a geo/IP thing...),

EDIT: It seems like udp://opentracker.i2p.rocks:6969/announce is actually fine for BitTorrent.
