After rarbg was taken down, most trackers I have been using aren’t working for me. I use qbittorrent plugins and if I start a torrent that supposedly has hundreds or thousands of seeders, the downloads never receive data.

What plugin tracker should I use that has accurate seeder counts?

Are you port forwarding for torrents? That's usually why torrents don't work when they have reported seeders.

torrents-csv.ml is a great indexer. It combines several other indexers and prunes the inactive torrents.

Thanks! I remember now I had left my network interface option on a different VPN than the one I’m using currently.

Don't most VPNs block Port Forwarding?

AirVPN has port forwarding. Don't use proton vpn, the forwarding does not work for that.

Seconding AirVPN. I've been using them since Mullvad removed port forwarding.

Yes, but not all of them

Easy solution to that: switch VPN.

Also, fun fact - one of the lemmy developers also developed torrents–csv

I recommend rutracker. It's great for BD rips of movies and TV shows. The majority of files have the original English audio + Russian dubs. Quite a lot of hard to find stuff and almost always has seeds.

Just realized you asked for plugin tracker, idk what that is

He asked about trackers which have search plugin for qbittorrent and your answer fits well as rutracker has even two different plugins ready.
