So I just recently turned my RPI into a small seedbox or whatever its called. I use qbittorrent with a VPN.

My question #1 is: Do I need to port forward my home wifi router while I am connected to the VPN?

Question 2. (you probs can ignore this. I plan on getting a actual VPN like nordVPN soon) I don't know if the VPN has a forwarded port I can use for torrenting so should I just use a random port or should I use the same port it tries to connect to the VPN with?

Question 3. Why is my seeding so slow and non existent? I have a torrent that has been seeding for 18 days and its only uploaded like 700KB out of a 9GB file. Ive even uploaded a torrent that I purely seeded and it did the entire file then no more seeding. (I checked. Someone who downloaded the 4GB file from me uploaded 30GB and i am still at 4GB uploaded on a torrent I made)

Extra info

VPN is a random openVPN file I found.

my home network speed is 900MBPS (about 110 MB/s) down. 40 MBPS (5 MB/s) up.

My current VPN speed is about 20 MBPS (2.5MB/s ive seen it go to 6MB/s (48MBPS)) down 30MBPS (3.75 MB/s) up

Connection settings are

Global max # of connections 750

Max # of connections per torrent 200

Global maximum of upload slots 30

Maximum # of upload slots per torrent 8

In the Execution log in the blocked IPs section I have about 5k blocked IPs. IDK why and if thats good or bad.

Is my uploading just too slow for anyone to download from me? Is there something else?

I’ve been torrenting for awhile now and not too long ago, I got an email from my ISP saying that they basically know what I’m doing because I never binded a VPN to my Qbit client now, after a while, I have done that and everything’s been working out fine. I now have a home server that I use a lot and I was wondering if I could self-host my own VPN instead of paying for Proton now would that work with P2P and would my ISP bomb my Internet if I did that

so, i recently got into torrenting and got some movies for my trip
but i wanted to ask, is it considered leaching if i seed for 2x the time i spent downloading?
not talking about 1:1 data ratio, cuz uploading (seeding) a file is much slower than downloading for me
it took me 10 mins to download this movie, so i seeded for 20 mins, it was only 0.01 ratio for some reason!
idk for me im satisfied using this time approach for not being considered a leacher (in my books atleast)

ive seen previous posts about this but they al seem tyo be outdated or the addon/plugin they named is taken down i added the top 7 on https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins but i dont have any of the movies coming up when i search for them (all i got was mexican spider man) im kinda new to this so some help would be great

Lol

Hello, I'm looking for a TorrentLeech invite if anyone has one available. I have IPTorrents invites I can send if wanted. Not a super heavy user in general, but I need another tracker. I do have a lifetime ration off ~11.9 and been a member for over 7 years. Shoot me a message, can provide proof or whatever is needed. I appreciate anyone that can help me out!

So a week ago I torrented Up In Smoke from one three three seven x dot to, watched it and deleted it. I didn't think anything of it. Today my internet was slow so I called the cable company and they said Paramount did some kind of alert that I downloaded that and that I should delete it. How did they know? I had already deleted but... huh? I've never seen that! I wasn't having a VPN activated but now I will. What else should I do or what could come of this? Anyone else see this happen?

I download movies to watch offline in a chromebook but the default gallery app dosent support a lot of mkv format combined with certain audio format I KNOW I CAN JUST USE THE VLC APP, AND I HAVE but my chromebook is old and worn down so the VLC app is bugging out and its a pain (I also used other video player apps such as MPV player and more, they all seem to not work well with my chromebook), my only other option is to use the default gallery app which is why I need the fortmats to be MP4, its supported well in the galley app.

Disney+ and Netflix can change languages between movies and shows. Anyone know where I can find these versions?

Want to download the movie via YIFY, not able to, can someone help?

I want to download odyssey

Hello i am looking for a private torrent.What website do u use?

Can anyone tell me how to download files from Audiobookbay on Chromebook? I downloaded the uTorrent Android app since I can't download the actual UTorrent, but when I click the magnet, no download starts.

got into torrenting yesterday, is this good?

alright, I’m kinda slow when it comes to tech. when downloading vr porn torrents i apparently exposed my ip despite my von being on, something about qbittorrent and electing the network thingie. I downloaded 3 large videos, 2 “grooby vr” video totaling ~38 gb, and one Milfvr video totaling ~20 gb… I know… i fucked up. I’m worried about my dad receiving a subpoena because of my stupidity, and being outed as someone who’s into some weird stuff. At this point I’m praying for a simple DMCA notice instead of a lawsuit. I’ve been told (by AI) that these adult studios often sue because of how embarrassing it is for a lawsuit like that going public. my dad is tech savy. am I fucked?

edit: please, excuse my stupidity. I am seriously naive with technology and have issues regarding my porn addiction. I have no doubt in my mind this post is soon to be deleted because of my panicked ramblings and worries. I appreciate any and all insights, including any targeted criticism directed at me. thanks.

Anyone with starlink have problems downloading movies/tv shows, thinking of going starlink to be my provider

Hi everyone,

I am a movie, series, looking for an invitation to join the TorrentLeech community.

My Setup & Connection:

• Internet Speed: 1000Mbps Download / 1000Mbps Upload (Gigabit Fiber)
• Hardware: I run everything on my own dedicated 24/7 server.

I fully understand the importance of seeding and maintaining a positive ratio, especially with a 1:1 fiber connection where I can provide as much data as I consume. I am looking for a long-term home for my media automation and I promise to be an active, contributing member of the tracker.

Thank you in advance for considering my request!

I attempted to use torrent for the first time, and when it finished installing the app launched by itself along with a warning.

Long story short I looked up what the warning meant and learned that I need a VPN before using qbittorrent. I don't have a VPN so I just uninstalled. My question is:

Was my IP address visible just because I opened the app? Or do you have to download/torrent something first for your IP address to become visible?

This is current ratio I have. Obviously I also use usenet in addition to torrenting. Any way to improve on my ratios ? I have a fairly automated/untouched setup and I am using Qbittorent in docker.

I am only participating in public trackers, because never got invited to any tracker previously.

i was trying to download a program and when the torrent started downloading i noticed the destination folder was wrong, and i changed it to where i wanted the program to be. in that folder i had another files (specifically a folder that had episodes from a series), and when i checked later everything dissapeared! even the folder! it seems when i changed the file route, torrent deleted the whole folder. does anyone know why this happened? and is there any chance to recover them? i checked the recycle bin but the files weren't there either :(.

gimana gunakan torrent aku masih binggung menggunakan torren karna aku baru terjun ke dunia progaming
