I only seed things that are legal for me to seed. Everything else is seedn’t.
If you’re downloading illegal things, but not seeding those, fuck you.
If you don’t torrent illegal things, then carry on.
I have qbittorrent set to quit when the DL is done. I tried to seed but spectrum is on that shit, they shut off Internet access. I can’t afford a VPN right now, my wife and I both work and we are struggling. Thank you, seeders.
I’m a leecher, and I truly am sorry. I dl TV shows that are off the air and aren’t available on dvd
If you don’t have a VPN, you need to be significantly more cautious, even if you’re just leaching
It’s always interesting when I load up a download, I get seeded at like 20MB/s, but then… There’s nobody to seed to. It’s weird to see a torrent that so many people are seeding, but there’s like no downloads for it nowadays. Usually once it’s no longer popular, seeders disappear, too. Even weirder: it was season 2 of a show (that aired 15 years ago), but season 1 had… One guy. Only online for about 6 hours a day in the middle of the night.
do you have port forwarding enabled?
Most VPNs don’t allow that, and those that do look shady as fuck.
Proton VPN
Wait, really? Last time I looked all the main providers had removed it, and the only ones left looked like they were hosted on a toaster.
Might have to look into that when mine comes up for renewal.
Torguard. Almost 8 years with them and love it.
I use torguard, I port forward for soulseek. they setup exactly as you want, you just fill out the request. Been with them 7+ years. I share 0.5 to 1.0 Tb/day on soulseek/torrents. Upload speeds are capped at 5MB/user, 5 uploads at a time on soulseek. 30MB upload cap on utorrent, bound to VPN IP.
I took this screenshot after an update and reboot, so it’s not maxed out on speed yet.
