Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist/issues/28

This site: https://newtrackon.com

Your list shows best 20 and then top 50. What factors go into deciding your best 20. The newtrackon.com just shows uptime 95% and 100% uptime as a gauge of the tracker.

Do you use other factors in your best 20 list, like known issues or malicious trackers etc. 'Banned Trackers list' found here for example:

I believe that newTrackon actually pulls down the "all" list and checks the trackers therein.

Factoring in bad trackers seems like a good idea if not already done.

Any chance we can get some websocket trackers? ie: (ws:// and wss://)

I'm going to add several trackers from https://newtrackon.com when I have some free time.
There are several criteria for sorting. My bot query the trackers with popular torrents and checks which trackers are returning more seeds/peers, latency, reliability, offline time...

Do you have any?

What torrent client even uses the ws: or wss: schemes? EDIT Apparently WebTorrent does.

Anyway, I have just found OpenWebTorrent: https://openwebtorrent.com/

It lists the following three trackers:

wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com
wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz 
wss://tracker.fastcast.nz

Yeah those are the only three I could find too. webtorrent.io uses websocket trackers.

It's interesting. I will add that trackers but I have to do the code implementation first.
