torrent trackers for starting a torrent

I have some stuff that I would like to start a torrent of. (Stuff that probably won't work on a tracker like http://www.legaltorrents.com/index.htm if you get my drift.)

uTorrent has a "Create a Torrent" option and it shouldn't be any big deal to create the torrent.

But...I need some trackers for my torrent.

When looking at the torrent upload page at mininova.org, it suggests:

* http://tracker.phogotorrents.com:2006/announce
* http://tracker.prq.to/announce
* http://tracker.bitebbs.com:6969/announce
* http://www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce


Demonoid.com might also work, but registrations are always closed and I always miss Fridays.

So...would those trackers mentioned at mininova.org work decently (not a lot of downtimes, people won't have trouble connecting, etc.)? What about Demonoid? Are there any other good trackers that I can use or will those work fine?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Basically any tracker will work fine, to be honest. It's not a tough find.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Or, why not run your own tracker?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I see. Well, thanks for the input Capo. When I get time sooner or later, I'll try to put all of those mininova trackers in my torrent when I create it and come back and say how it went after people have gotten a chance to download my torrent and leech from me for a little while.

Rock, I only want to start one torrent. (Sorry if I mislead you by saying "stuff.") So, starting my own tracker would be overkill. Thanks anyway though.

Double Post:
So I've created a torrent and put all four trackers from the mininova torrent upload page into it, and uploaded it to mininova.

BUT....there are a couple of things going wrong here.

First, my torrent is only using the first tracker I put into it. (In uTorrent, I seperated them by pressing the Enter key in the trackers field in the create new .torrent window to make it go to the next line where I could paste the next tracker URL.) Other than possibly not entering the rest of the trackers correctly, I don't see why all four aren't being used.

Second, Mininova reports that six people have currently downloaded my torrent, but no leechers are connecting to me. I force the tracker to update, but they're still not coming in to me. I guess it's possible that they downloaded the torrent but decided not to run it....but I doubt that.

Third, Mininova also reports that there are not seeders for this torrent, even though I'm seeding it now. I've noticed that some torrents on Mininova have no information because (I guess) the Mininova coding doesn't work with the tracker of those torrents. But mine says 0 seeders, 0 leechers even though it should read 1 seeder and something like 5 leechers. What gives?

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give me!

Edit: I think I'll just start a new thread for this since it's on a different topic now. Closed.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
