How to increase upload ?

I've a 2.5gigabit connection.

I want to increase my upload in quantity.

Better have unlimited connections or a preset number of slot for upload ?

I don't have any speed limit connection.

Why aren’t my trackers showing the same amount of upload?

Hi all,

Pretext- Please ignore that disgusting ratio, my first 600gbs or so were all messed up files from public trackers(duplicates, different language, wrong quality) and I intend on building that ratio to get back to at least a 1.0, hopefully my much higher as time goes on.

I am new to torrenting as a whole and am trying to build my ratio on a TL but there seems to be a consistently growing difference in upload amount.

When I finally got all my port forwarding, seeding, and queueing finally setup correctly(i think), yesterday my all time upload amount was roughly at 18gb in qbit and 16gb on TL. Now as seen in the photo, i’m about to start pushing 60gb but TL is only showing about 28gbs uploaded all time.

Does anyone know why there is such a big discrepancy?

The only thing I can think of is the unit difference between GiB and GB but that difference should mean that my GB upload should be even more than what qbit’s GiB count has listed.

Those first two whited out tabs are both to tl but one says “reload” and the other has the normal url. the last tab is for a different tracker with negligible upload.

What is this? Why do I get these sometimes?

See the items I was opening up to get the metadata?

What on earth am I getting some random nonsense name .exe file?

Unraid keeps killing qBitTorrent - High Ram Usage

Hello,

My unraid keeps killing my binhex-qbittorrent docker for high ram usage. This started when I added a 500gb torrent with thousands of files.

# Things I tried:

- Changing DiskIOWriteMode to DisableOsCache
- Changing DiskIOType from Default to simple pread/pwrite - this fixed it but slowed down all my torrents by A LOT.

Is there a way to add and reseed deleted torrents without the torrent file or magnet ling?

Hello!! So I like seeding a lot, but recently I needed a lot of space and had to transfer my torrents to an external HDD, and I didn't think of relocating the torrents there. In conclusion, I deleted torrents from qBittorrent. Most of my torrents are really old, so I don't remember where I got them from. Right now I have space on my PC again, so I want to retransfer the files or seed directly through my external HDD. The problem? I don't have the torrent files or magnet links. After realizing this, I just enabled the "copy torrent files for finished downloads " option. So I don't have the backups either. Is there anything I can do to reseed these old files?

I want to make sure I'm reading/interpreting this right

https://preview.redd.it/5hxa5b4tf7kh1.png?width=434&format=png&auto=webp&s=ebdf860758cb708ac1390b2416d42f7d4001e031

There are 5 seeds, and I am one of those five. So me and four other people. We all have 100% of the torrent downloaded.

There are 5 peers, which are people downloading the torrent. They may or may not also be sharing what they have downloaded so far. Two of those five are getting content from me.

Do I have those definitions right?

Question about ETA while seeding

I'm new to torrenting, have been learning a lot about it and have loved using qBittorrent so far. I do have a question about the ETA.

I totally understand that it's not really counting down in "real time," but instead it is the estimated time until the content available will be completed. I have no issue with that.

What I am curious about is the time jumping. I've been seeding some files for the past 3 days and although up speeds have been constant for these files, it keeps jumping back up to "ETA: 1d 0h," even after a file's ETA has gone down to like 21 hours or sometimes even 18 hours, it still ends up jumping to 1d after some time.

I know it's only an estimate, but that kind of jump seems kind of steep.

Thank you for helping me understand this stuff more! I appreciate yall!

Binding to VPN .bat question

So I have mine bound to my VPN and it works fine obviously, though the limit of it that once it drops it doesn't pick back up unless I restart qbit.

I thought of making up a .bat for it and I searched and apparently people already do this.

My question is to those who do it or know more about it than I do, how safe is it to do?

My plan was to either make one or copy one that I'll have run say every 5 minutes or so in task scheduler.

_________________________________________________

Also on a separate question if you guys know....

I often times just put my PC to sleep and if the VPN is on I have to restart my VPN because it won't automatically restart and I'm sure that is due to the kill switch function.

Would it be safe to make a .bat that would close and restart my VPN on wakeup or perhaps one that will shut it down on sleep then start it up on wake?

Obviously I don't want anything interfering with its kill switch, but it doesn't seem like it would to me.

Thanks guys for your input 👋

Suspicious mod deletion.

Edit: after a kind commenter actually took the time to help instead of talk shit. We discovered something was messing with my DNS and sending me to an improper download even from the official site. Qbittorrent not to blame for the virus, but just deleting my first post asking for help without saying a single word was still crappy.

How do I start qBittorrent in an active state from the Linux command line?

Every time I start qBittorrent on Linux it starts as paused and I have to go to the icon in my status bar and tell it to resume session. Is there a command line argument or something to make it start as active?

qBittorrent offline, tried all the troubleshooting steps

Windows 10. I don't torrent every day, so this became a recent issue. I switched VPNs because I discovered my previous VPN stopped port forwarding. I switched to Proton, and it worked briefly, but today, I haven't been able to connect to a single peer, and qBit says "offline." I followed the general troubleshooting from https://www.rapidseedbox.com/blog/qbittorrent-not-downloading My qBit app literally shows no trackers, no connections, and I'm seeding some very recent and popular files.

My internet connection is fine, even with the VPN active I'm getting 800 down and 400 up. My router (eero) is configured for uPnP. I tried forcing a tracker announce, no help. I've set the port in qBit to the one Proton tells me to use. I've opened my firewall to qBit, and I've added qBittorrent as an exclusion. I've enabled DHT, peer exchange and peer discovery.

As a final test, I moved all the torrents to a different drive, except one that's only partially downloaded, and connected qBitorrent without the VPN. (I figured one 25 year old movie was safe) qBittorrent still says it's not connecting, and no trackers, no peers are showing up.

I'm at my wit's end, any help is appreciated. Screenshots if they help. Thanks in advance.

Download speeds suddenly very low

As the title suggests, my downloads have slowed down drastically somehow. I used to be able to download 20GB remuxes with 15 seeds within like 20 minutes or something. As you can see in my screenshot, these are taking forever...

I'm running qbittorrent in a docker container on my Ugreen NAS (my compose) and I am using PIA VPN with port forwarding.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Happy to answer all you guys' questions

home media server with no vpn, finally have to bite on a vpn and need help with selection/configuration.

i have a very basic home media server on windows i've just made for movies and shows for my family. i've never had an issue with piracy with no vpn (yes, stupid for trying i know. just wanted to avoid paying but that seems it's over now). i have the server set up with tailscale and jellyfin, and i made a web app for my phone so i can send torrent magnet links to qbittorrent on my computer away from home so i can download movies when im not at my server computer.

anyways, i got hit with an email from my isp letting me know the bad news of my very illegal copyright infringement (oh nooo...) and im unsure where to go next. what do i need to do to make sure this doesn't happen again? i've never used a vpn in my life and i have no idea how to configure/set it up or if i even can without screwing up my current tailscale - jellyfin set up. any help would be great!

Nothing shows up in iknowwhatyoudownload without a VPN, but shows a TON with it turned on?

I’ve been getting notices about downloading even though I haven’t & it was screwing with my head. So I decided to do a test, torrent a legal file like a Linux ISO & see if it leaks.

What I found weird wasn’t that my torrent didn’t show up, but the fact ONLY when my VPN is on is when I’ll see a ton and I MEAN A TON of downloads that have nothing to do with me (and again, not even MY linux iso download was on this list). Before I picked up on this I assumed it was my brother but there were so many torrents with SO much storage that there’s just no way he’d be able to do that it’s not like he’s working with a lot as it is (I think). Also none of these downloads show up with my VPN disconnected which makes me further doubt that these downloads are from anybody in this house at all.

So what’s going on? As you would assume I also have my VPN binded to qbittorrent & also verified that it works only with VPN turned on.

Edit: using expressvpn. Was trying to post in r/vpn but they dont allow naming VPNs
