@ianfontinell said in Different torrents downloading on different ports?:

that torrent will NEVER register as completed to the tracker

I had no clue
Well this is good to know, thank you for the information!

@ianfontinell
I have established exactly that as of 30 minutes ago. Thing is, i can download only one at a time since for some reason it was registering 9 active downloads, but I had only 1.
Just now i paused everything, refresh for an update on the site, it went to 0/0, i have resumed everything, but stalled torrents and it is currently registering 5 actively downloading, while i have none, everything is either seeding or paused.

At first, some months ago, newly added torrents would just not download, i chalked it up to the limited amount of seeders, but then I tried to download some torrents with 30, 50+ seeders, and it didn't even try, it was just "stalled".
Some time later i found a post on reddit saying to randomize ports and that worked like a charm, and everything downloaded.

Today I went on a bit of a spree and downloaded 10 torrents, not a single one connected to any peers, showing up as 0 seeds while the site shows that there are seeders.
Found a post suggesting trying out Transmission, when i put one of the torrent files it in, it gave me an error from the tracker saying i can only download 15 torrents per day (which is also untrue), but at least pointed me in a direction.

I then saw a post by ianfontinell saying that the port should be in the 6881-6889 range to diagnose bad setup on the router, but setting it at 6881 instantly started downloading 1 of the 10 new torrents and nothing else. Switching it to 6889 downloaded 3 more.
This is not normal, is it? Any ideas for a fix?

Edit: I'm using qBittorent

Those who say CK, are you saying it because of comfort, the way the look, the brand or what? Never bought any, but they look nothing special comfort-wise.

I hate fps, both suck, CRYSIS!!! But if i had to choose i'd go with GTA.

Kris Evans or Chris Evans?

False, i'm studying in a foreign country
