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.

VPN

What VPN you guys use ? New to this, and I’m planning to finally pay for a VPN service, I’m looking for something that’s relatively inexpensive and can download at a relatively good speed to use with qbit torrent

Is there a possibility to seed the same file in a private and public trackers?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible, without copying the file on another folder, to have 2 active torrents (1 on a public tracker where I am the only consistent seeder and 1 private tracker) pointing to the same file. when I try to add the private tracker it tells me that I can't merge since it is private, but I don't want it to merge at all!

In qBittorrent options, "Merge trackers" isn't ticked so I don't know what to do to keep them separate.
any help would be appreciated, thanks !

Why do almost no episodes include recaps?

I personally find recaps extremely helpful to remember tv shows and follow along well to what happened. Netflix doesn't have them, because they hate me. But almost every other show on the other streaming services do have recaps. So, why do the Torrents for those shows overwhelmingly not include the recaps???? I'm super new to this whole thing

Need help with OOOOLD torrent with World Music (suprnova era)

Hey guys,

I have tried everything I known and I would really appreciate any help

When suprnova was still up, I downloaded a torrent that was called "world music" and had several artists in there:

Buena vista social club

Inti illimani

Yo yo ma

Bela fleck

Zoltan and his gypsy ensemble

And others

The thing is that I lost the music and the torrent and there was such beautiful music that I can't find again.

Tried searching ext.to, Google and others to no avail.

Anyone can help me finding this list of songs?

Thanks

Has anyone tried WinBitTorrent? Is it safe?

Claims to be "A native WinUI 3 desktop client for qBittorrent — a modern Windows 11 interface on top of the proven qBittorrent / libtorrent engine." I've not seen any other discussion on Reddit or found any reviews. UI looks nice and seems responsive.

Best vpn for torrenting long term, mainly linux isos and backups

Been seeding stuff off my nas for a while now, mostly linux isos and my own backups. Isp's started throttling anything that looks like torrent traffic even when it's completely legal, speeds tank hard during seeding.

been on xvpn for other stuff for a while now, my country blocks a ton of stuff and most of the mainstream vpns just don't work here at all, xvpn's one of the few that actually holds up which is why i default to it. only issue is it doesn't support port forwarding at all, which kinda sucks since a lot of my seeding setup relies on that

not really looking at free tiers since this is a daily thing at this point, more curious if it's worth switching to something with forwarding support or if i should just find a workaround and stick with what i've got. also curious if kill switch matters much here or if that's overkill

How to saturate bandwidth on BitTorrent transfers between a single seeder and another peer?

I can never send anything faster than 1-2 MiB/s through BitTorrent. Both the other peer and I have symmetrical ≥1 Gb/s connections, and we can verify that with speedtest.net

I'm trying to share a private torrent using an announce URL from privtracker.com, with qBittorrent and ProtonVPN with port forwarding enabled.

I can get >100 MiB/s download speeds when downloading a well-seeded torrent, but I can't achieve high upload speeds when seeding (to a single peer).

My only guess is that the VPN is setting a limit so a couple of users don't saturate the server for everyone else.

I'm hearing you all. Thanks!

Why are my torrent downloads so slow?

Sometimes my torrents don't even download. I am using the free trial of protonvpn, and it runs insanely slow, max 15KB/s. This is not a network speed issue, because, with the torrent, My internet runs perfectly fine, and very fast. Why are my torrents so slow then?
