How to Add Trackers in qBittorrent 2024 [Guideline]: Are you one of those people who use qBittorrent to download their torrent files from the internet but have a low downloading speed? If the answer is Yes then you need to incorporate trackers in it.

Understand What Trackers Are?

If you come from a non-technical background, you will definitely have problems understanding what a tracker looks like. To put it in a no-technical phrase, as a fantom of the operated system that works solely, a tracker-bridge, i.e., the host, interconnects people ready to upload files and people wishing to download the said files.

So, what trackers do is that when you start a download, your torrent client connects with the tracker and tries to find out if there are people who have the file you are trying to download and connect to them. So when a torrent is started, the client attaches it to a tracker. If other clients have the content, they answer the request, and the asking client connects to the provided content.

Another interesting thing to note is that Trackers works in both ways, means if you have any file that others want, the file will be tracked down by the tracker and the client of the other people will be notified about it instantly.

Does adding more trackers speed up the process of downloading torrents?

Yes, of course! The more trackers, the wider the torrents and the shorter the downloading time. The reason for this is that trackers not only provide information but also enable peers to connect to one another.

Adding more trackers means more peers are going to be accessible for connection in a bid to enhance the downloading speeds.
