I don't pretend to be a tracker expert, and actively solicit suggestions.

I would certainly bias towards less politicized + more reliable trackers.

Please post your tracker suggestions.

I nominate two trackers that are open, differently politicized and seem to work reliably globally.

~~http://tracker.humblebundle.com:2710/announce~~

http://bttracker.crunchbanglinux.org:6969/announce

If you are changing trackers in your torrent, please ~~replace~~ remove ccc.de ~~with demonii.com~~. In my opinion it doesn't make sense to use more than 6 classic trackers in addition to DHT and PEX that are used in a non-private torrent. You should be able to change the torrent without changing infohash, the trackers are in the "announce" section that isn't covered by the hash of the "info" section. There are apps and web sites that will help you do that change, although I don't have links handy.

From the other trackers that were used in the past: h33t.com domain is disabled by a complex legal issue and won't be back for a while.

I'm not a torrent&tracker expert either, but have fresh experience troubleshooting these problems for the others.

The exodus.desync.com tracker in the previous torrent seems to be working well.

No, please don't. This is an example of dual-stack IPv4+IPv6 tracker that causes problems to many Windows users. Modern Windows versions support IPv6 out-of-the-box via Teredo tunnels and this just causes trouble and confuses the beginning users. The IPv4 side of this tracker is not globally accessible, some big European ISPs are on their block-list.

Edit2:

Upon further review of the recent torrent statistics in Windows I'm going to advise against using open.demonii.com. Again the problem is dual stack IPv4+IPv6 with bad accessibility from various places around the globe.

Edit3:

Since I've posted this humblebundle.com implemented registration & filtering in their tracker, so it won't work with 3rd party torrents.
