Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!

Is there a way to use this in a more automated way instead of copying and pasting each time?

On qBittorrent probably on next release

I don't have direct answer to the question, but I generally don't add public trackers to my (public) torrents. DHT/PEX usually works fine for me for finding seeds on the occasion that I do need something from public torrent sites.

I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.

One begets the other, although your mileage may vary

Whatever shows up here: https://newtrackon.com/list

Only lists trackers submitted that are online with a 95% uptime.

honestly... I don't know what a tracker is, I just click the magnet button and qBitTorrent just downloads it
Is there something more I should be doing?
