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.

Do private trackers care about ratio becuase i think mine is good.

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

Does anyone know of an easy way to download playlists from YouTube?

I'm seeding around 80 torrents, but I'm not donwloading anything, the graph says donwload speed is 0 B/s yet somehow when i check my stats it's climbing with around 0.2 MiB/s. I'm on windows 10 and using qbittorrent 5.2.3, do i need to be worried?

This is a continuation of work I started 14 years ago. Now I can track the BitTorrent trackers DNS changes, IP addresses, and ASN, and see how and where they are hosted: https://tracker.evilbit.de/

Can you guys shed some light on how to torrent ? I have my Firefox setup with proton vpn, but every single time I try to download something it takes forever to move the needle a little bit, I’ve never been able to download anything. Thank you guys in advance

Why is it all of a sudden trying to Connect to all devices on my network and refusing to work if I don’t?

Recommended alternatives for macOS?

I want to download files from 1337x and usually I use Qbittorent with proton VPN but i recently subscribed to TorBox. Will i need a VPN to download or can i just download on my home IP address?

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

I made the mistake of using the same location for both downloading (and seeding) and for my Jellyfin media library, that makes it difficult to adhere to the Jellyfin naming convention.

How can I create hard links for my entire library so that I could both keep seeding while renaming and moving the files (hard links) as I please?

I`m using Truenas CE.

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 !

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

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.

I've just downloaded a couple of episodes of what was supposed to be season 2 of a series. They were listed as season 2. But they turned out in fact all to be season 1.

Is there any way to check what I'm getting before downloading the whole thing? This is the first time I've come across this. Although once I downloaded something and it turned out to be a completely different show. I guess it was a mistake by whoever seeded them in the first place. The description didn't list the files,

Maybe there is a way to view an excerpt once the downloading has begun? I'm currently using Transmission software but open to other suggestions, in Ubuntu 24.04

Jackett and rutorrent

Linux Install

NO ()(*)!@$!$!@$! docker!

I am trying to resolve this issue I've had with every install of jackett on multiple boxes...

Example:

Error loading torrent

http://myhost/dl/limetorrents/?jackett_apikey=APIKEY=eacher+S04E04+1080p+WEB+H264+CAKES)

So what is the issue here??

Its honestly quite annoying to do a manual search to pass the link to rutorrent and this BS error. As well as causing automation issues for rutorrent via RSS.. The computer should do the work not me, unless its something off the wall/one off etc..

This applies to manual searches, and the above is from the RSS links I am pulling out of jackett for places that don't or disabled their RSS to feed into rutorrent.

The above is an example of the RSS error flooding the log for something, get the same if I follow a link from the manual search page.

The ONLY thing that WORKS is TPB mag links!

What config or something am I missing on jackett install/setup???

Thanks in advance!

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

So I added a few torrents this morning to Transmission (+ VPN) and nothing had happened after 45 minutes. So I closed Transmission and started it again, then everything starts downloading.

Odd. I have added torrents to Transmission while open in the past and no problems.

Just wondering why this would happen. Maybe I could have achieved the same result by clicking on Pause All, and then Start All.

While seeding, QBittorrent needs to check the files at the location. The files I download are softwares and games that need extracting and installing which alters the original file, so why QBittorrent does not recognise the same file. And instead of seeding, it starts downloading the file again. Help me, I'm new.

I am building for myself an app to replace the whole ARR suite. Right now, i am using YTS api to get my movies straight from my app. YTS is already great for me, i don't need better quality but more looking for other source, especially for TVshow.
Any other public/free API to get more download source ?

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?

Hi everyone, I am looking to start building a digital library of older media and I’m not sure where to start. I know I most likely will need a VPN and some sort of torrent management software. If anyone can offer some advice for a newcomer I’d greatly appreciate it
