Can adding aditional trackers help DL speed?

[trodas]

I got some older torrents (NewCyber series) that I got from Cheggit, yet they download very very slow. Like 0,1 - 0,5kBy speeds, witch is not exactly great

The tracker is like:

http://hank.cheggit.net:xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/announce

And I wonder - will adding other(s) trackers there help? And witch ones I can try?

[sokrates]

in generally it should help on open trackers..
but in this case you wont have any success bc the private flag will be set(atleast i suppose so)
and if its your real announce url you might wanne change it

[trodas]

Hmmm, yes, this the the tracker my uTorrent show me in the properties for these torrents. I never trweaked with tracker(s) before, but I'm glad to hear it could help the poor DL speed in general - eg. the more trackers the better?

So, any recommendations about witch tracker(s) to add there?

and if its your real announce url you might wanne change it

Yes, why?

[fsephie]

People can use that to download torrents as if through your account.

[trodas]

Oh, crap
Fixed. And the trackers recommended for the NewCyber series are...?

[trodas]

So, since no-one is answering, I did a small test myself. I just wasted like 10 hours downloading torrent of 2G nice 720 pix wide rip of Resident Evil Extinction. I get the torrent from some old slow site (IIRC it stole torrents from Demonoid...) and wasted because the torrent DL speed was about between 7 to 24kBy
(my connection limit is 512k)

Suxx, right? So, I gather a list of trackers and replaced the trackers into the properties to THIS huge list:

...and the download speed of this particular torrent jumped from the abovementioned 7 - 24k to very nice 130 - 205k DL speed

Hence yes, aditional trackers, especially in torrents where is allowed the DHT and Peer Exchange, helps greatly.

Now is there some dead trackers I shall exclude from my list, or are there more to add?
