@dwpk20 It would appear so. Do you use a VPN by any chance? If so, local port forwarding will do nothing, as everything passes through the VPN, so the VPN itself would need to support port forwarding.

If not, then everything should be in place as long as your computer's IP address on your local network does not change. Looking at your profile though, it would seem it may have to do with how many other torrents you are seeding and the way your torrent client and the system will prioritize traffic. If other torrents are getting a higher priority, your speed on the uploaded torrent may fall once it gets there, in part due to the speeds of the other peers in the pool. This is not unusual.

@lololulu19 And you know this how exactly?

This sounds like a port forwarding issue. When you're a passive node, you'll be able to seed, as there is no one else in which to get the contents from, however once it gets out to people who do have their port forwarding in order, it will take those peers (active nodes) over a passive node.

To fix this, you need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router or VPN to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a much needed step to get proper upload traffic.

@blablarg18 This article is missing Justin Trudeau. Most of Canada cannot wait until the next election so we can finally boot his ass the f*ck out of office

@Symphonia-0 Actually, yes... It does. It's not free, but it's a one time purchase of an app called iTransmission, which is available in the Apple App Store.

For an Android device, I would be inclined to recommend Vuze.

Now, that being said... Power settings among other things need to be tweaked to make it work in the background, otherwise the app stops when it's not active and up front.

@gaypanards In order to do this, you need to have uploaded a torrent. What torrent can someone credit these points to?

@adlp1ph This usually happens when you have one or more torrents that you have not downloaded 100% of ALL the files. When this happens, the tracker will only register you as leeching the torrent, which counts towards your maximum number of simultaneous downloads, which is a separate number from the number of .torrent files you can download in a day.

To get around this, you need to either stop these torrents, or finish downloading ALL the files.

@deeteedub Use of a VPN is recommended, but a proxy is not the same as a VPN.

@deeteedub Ah.... Therein lies problem #2... You are using a proxy service. This causes all kinds of problems with getting upload, or more particularly, with upload reporting to the tracker properly. So it's a combination of 2 things in this case.

@deeteedub That's because our systems are not setup like others and do not support passive nodes by default. Doing so requires port forwarding to be in place.

@deeteedub This sounds like a port forwarding issue. You need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home network to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a critical and necessary step in order to get proper upload traffic.

@john32123666 happy dead guy on a stick day!

@BKisalive This sounds like a combination of two things..

1. 100+ other seeders helping seed the torrent

2. Port Forwarding issues.

With #2, you need to make sure that the port your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router/network to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a necessary step to being able to get proper upload traffic.

@Robsam Not intentional? Ummm.... No... The secret to doing this is VERY intentional. It doesn't just happen by "accident".

@john32123666 Thank you... The user who did it is now on my radar and has received the first warning for exploitation of the site.

@eobox91103 Condoms? People use condoms?

@john32123666 Yes... That one was a test of a theory, which proved to be correct to that I could report specifics of the bug to the sysadmin so it can be fixed somehow.

@jokuihmemies If you do know, it would be helpful if you could tell me in private so that I can inform our sysop. As long as you're doing it to test if your theory is correct to let us know, we won't penalize you for it.

@john32123666 Aaaaand the user is now banned. They originally got a warning, then continued doing what they were warned not to do. This is a form of ratio cheating.
