Just let the torrent keep going after you're done
Tried that but for some reason it doesn't seed :3
If you don't have a port forwarded for your torrent client, then only the people that do will be able to download from you. Unfortunately, most VPN providers don't support port forwarding.
PIA does
As does Proton VPN.
If you move or delete the files it would break it
Solution: use Linux and hardlinks
Yeah I could guess that, but no just sitting around it either doesn't upload anything or uploads and absurdly small amount (less than 50mb)
If it was a popular torrent with a lot of seeders, it was probably still working but you never got selected. Could also happen when it was the opposite. If there was like three seeders and no peers, when you finish you're just sitting there with the other folks with no one to seed to.
Probably an issue with connecting to peers or trackers. One common issue is not having the port forwarded properly at your router.
Yeah I see the same thing and I self host a seedbox that has hundreds of seeding torrents. Some torrents do get some seeding action but most never upload anything. Never figured out why but some private trackers give you points towards your up/down ratio the longer you seed so I just roll with that ยฏ\(ใ)/ยฏ
I gave up on private trackers a while ago. Nothing I've ever been looking for was obscure enough to warrant putting up with their bullshit rules.
Ah, yeah that's fair. I'm on a few but primarily use TorrentLeech which is more relaxed about things. To be honest though, torrents are my fallback anyway and most of my downloads are done via Usenet
Just took a look at Torrentleech. It does seem more relaxed. Last one I was on restricted which versions your client had to be, but didn't keep up with updates. Between that and their solution to new people not being able to gain upload credit being to purchase credits, I got tired of it and bailed.
Only private tracker I use is MyAnonymouse, they've got all the books/audiobooks anyone could ever need, which I have had a really hard time finding on public trackers. Their rules are super lenient as well.
Every time someone mentions MA its been a positive comment (that ive seen at least).
I should find my way into there, I do a lot more audio books these days
Private trackers are the WoW raiding guilds of piracy xD
