Why are so many trackers comming up dead or rejected?

[PS-since3000]

I was trying to work this out with MS Copilot as it's been pretty resourceful lately, but not on this.

I added two long lists of trackers from Gethub and I am getting good download speeds and a few uploads. But why are there so many trackers coming up N/A for peers, and rejected or terminated? Like out of 80 trackers there's like 6 or 7 working. The other thing that's odd is, you'll see a bunch of seeds on a magnet, but then you go to try it, and there's like 0 (1) or 0 (3) if you're lucky.

Extra Info

• I'm using the Proton Port forwarding and it is active. I tried adding google and Cloudflare DNS address into Proton settings for a test.
• Tried flushing DNS
• My Windows firewalls has two rules, TCP/UDP allowing all ports for Inbound traffic that I think were added when i installed Proton. Seems to be working
• Tried running OpenVPN TCP protocal instead of default just to see if the trackers changed
• Tried a few different servers.
• qBit settings are at default except I have PuP disabled and I'm forwarding the active port each time.
• Tried DNS lookup tools like NsLookup.io to verify the DNS records for the trackers

because most trackers on these aggregator lists are non-functional. most of the sites aren't even up. you should create your own list based on the trackers that work

Be careful adding tracks to torrents (I would say 6-8 max.), as it may increase receiving times and number of connections. Which will slow down your downloads a lot.
