Just crossed 1PB total upload, felt like bragging a bit. I’m sure others who have been at this for years and years would put my numbers to shame, but I was excited to see that 4th digit tick over! :)

Who is your ISP? How are they ok with this?
Honestly at least in US the ISPs couldn’t care less until a studio or something comes after them. But I have qbittorrent bound to a VPN, which is enough.
My ISP throttles my shit crazy when I start any torrent… My ratio is like .02 because I can’t upload anything almost ever even at 50~ mbps. I’ve tried the “use a random port every restart” and it is still ass. Suggestions welcome
Are you using a VPN that allows port forwarding? It took me a couple months of slow uploads to realize that was my problem.
Yeah, I use PIA and I’ve tried the “request port forwarding” option as well as in my firewall and modem ¯_(ツ)_/¯ my modem is from the ISP and kinda turbo shit so I was thinking of getting my own but haven’t yet lol
I that case, I got nothing 🙁
Anyway, I know some folks just can’t seed for whatever reason. No biggie. To each as they need, from each as they can provide
Make sure you put the port you’re being assigned into your necessary application. Also note that it can change when you disconnect and reconnect so you periodically want to make sure the port in your application matches the port assigned to you by PIA.
so you actually have no idea whether “your ISP throttles your shit crazy”. it probably does not, because if you are using vpn, that would affect all your other traffic as well.
try to stop using the vpn and test the behaviour of the torrent again.
He’d be insane to complain about this if the didn’t have port forwarding setup
Even so, I’m not gonna judge. It took me awhile to realize my mistake there as well. 🍻
i’ll skip over whether your assumption is actually valid and ask: in your experience, do people always act rationally and never do insane things?
how are they ok with what, people using service they paid for? they are quite okey, that is how their business works, they provide service and people give them money.
imagine they go so far that they put up ads to find more such people!
