SxEDragon Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hello everybody! Since I started to bring me laptop to work, it seems torrents are no longer seeding. All torrents are usually brown instead of green. They say "seeding" but don't seem to really be. I wonder if this has something to do with a new connection? I can download just fine, it's just uploading that seems to be the problem. I know the files are not dead and people are still trying to download them. I read about port forwarding and such but I'm not sure I truly understand that or what I need to do to. I'm a noob when it comes to torrents. I would appreciate any help you guys could give.

SxEDragon Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 English isn't my first language so I may be misunderstanding what you said but what you mean is a company blocking torrents like sometimes they do to other things like Facebook, right? In this case it can't be because I'm the owner and only person who works at my store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Make sure your port in open (forwarded) correctly in your router at work (green network status icon at the bottom right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Facebook traffic isn't bandwidth heavy like torrent traffic is. Those are two different platforms. Also that user has no access to the Company Router to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 It is what it is. Ports need to be open. He has to deal with it or live with it. Oh, and should make sure upnp is enabled if a router is not accessible. It might work or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it again today, I thought finally got it open but then used a port checker and it says it's blocked. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm a total noob about this and is driving me nuts as the good ratio that I built is decreasing. If I make my IP static won't that cause problems when I'm at home?

rafi Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 No , it would not cause issues, if you make sure no one else uses it (consult with someone who knows , how to set DHCP exclusion up in ypur router) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
