Streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, etc. ) Active downloads elsewhere (updates for your phone/tablet/console, etc. ) Non-essential programs on your computer (background apps like Skype or Slack, extra browsers, etc. )
For example, you might find a 720p (HD) version of a video that has significantly more seeds than the 1080p (full HD) version of the video. Ideally, you’ll find files with a higher number of seeders (uploaders) than leeches (downloaders).
You’ll often find that less-popular files (e. g. , tutorials or uninstallers) included in torrents have far fewer individual seeds. Low numbers of seeds can cause a file to get stuck while downloading, so unchecking these files will speed up your download.
Make sure the tracker site is safe before you open it. Specifically, the site should use HTTPS encryption (e. g. , it should have “https://” before the “www” section of its address). You can usually find trackers on the site from which you downloaded the torrent itself. Look for a Trackers tab or section on the site’s home page.
Trackers resemble web addresses.
Make sure that there is a blank line between each tracker line.
