I have a GB ethernet connection, use ltconfig and there was a point in time I was able to get 4 MB. Now it can't even hit over 200 KB. I'm connected to a VPN. Should I switch clients?
Buenas, preciso ayuda de la comunidad latina, quiero descargar unas series viejas (Sangre Azul y El mentalista) pero tiene que ser en latino. Es para mi tia que son sus series favoritas. Busque en el megathread pero nada me ayuda alli. Alguien sabe de una pagina de torrents que lo tenga?
I want to preface this by saying I am new to the torrenting world and have searched/read/watched so many tutorials on the topic and my non-tech savvy brain cannot understand. I'm really hoping someone can kindly breakdown where I'm going wrong in laymans terms.
I am trying to maintain a good ratio on a private tracker (Sportscult) and am uploading my own files to seed and boost my ratio. I'm using Mullard VPN.
These are the steps I'm using:
Today I have restarted qBittorrent and every file was red with "Missing Item" as the error. I selected all of them and force rechecked, and they're all downloading again. This is affecting my ratio as it's a number of GiB's that I'm downloading unnecessarily. Where am I going wrong to keep having to download the files I have created, which are still in their designated folders?
I'm also open to any feedback about how to manage the torrent files. It's getting messy and I'm not sure if I have to keep both torrent files or just the one I download with the PID information. I did read something that said to download the original torrent file from rTorrent into a different folder on my computer (i.e desktop) so I am going to try that when I next create a torrent to see if it makes a difference with eliminating duplicates.
Thank you all for your help and please don't judge me.
as the title sais, most proxy sites ask for which service i want to use the proxy for, and i don't know what to say.
i want a proxy to bypass fortinet (idk if a proxy is enough, put they are cheap so it's worth a shot) and for torrenting in general.
i'd prefer to buy off proxy-sale.com if possible.
also, do you think i should get an isp proxy?
help is appreciated.
So I've been pirating and using torrents, I use a VPN but I still get caught. I can't risk it this time again to get in trouble. Am I doing the right thing using a VPN while downloading then immediately turning it off once it finishes? What site has all and every movie I can watch movies on?
Hey There, when looking for content, my ideal content would have both French and English audio + subs. As you can imagine, that's fairly hard to find, so I have resorted to finding full BD rips that I réencode to the resolution I want with the tracks I want.
I am however struggling to find raw BR rips. What search terms should I include if I want to get full unmodified BR rips?
Does it have DRM? Or did it slip past their radar?
Hello all,
I got 1 year of VPN Account so i went to the server and got SOCKS5 Proxy Server info and when i tried to test connection it keep getting error time out.
VPN Company is: PrivadoVPN
Torrent software is vuze
Vuze SOCKS5 Configuration
https://support.privadovpn.com/kb/article/378-vuze-socks5-configuration/
does anyone knows how to correct the this issue?
Please advise
I’m using Apple products (iMac and MacBook). Please go easy on my naivety, genuinely concerned about the chance I might’ve installed a virus since none of the torrents gave me Adobe illustrator?
Not sure whets the issue is. Restarted the modem. Same wifi and now even hardwired.
I've used uTorrent to do this in the past, but I've absolutely had it with their client. I've been using qBittorrent for some time but recently I swapped over to transmission and I am really liking it. But I am now in need of the remote downloading capabilities again. However I cannot seem to get the remote access to work. I have opened the port on my router, but it is still showing that the port is closed when I test in transmission.
I understand some basics of networking but I'm not an IT guy by any means. I feel like I'm close, but i just can't seem to get it to work for me. If anyone can help that would be huge.
For reference I'm on Windows 11 Home, trying to add downloads from a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra on Android 14.
I'm not against changing clients. I just want to avoid uTorrent like the plague. Outside of that, I'm fine with anything that works for getting things to start downloading remotely.
Like when I try to get a torrent link for a movie, there are different sizes of same 1080p video quality but at different sizes like 2.2GB, 4GB and 6.9GB... what's the difference among them ???
As the title states, I have deluge setup as a doctor container via unraid on my home server and I cannot get it to seed properly. Sometimes when I'm downloading it will seed slowly but after it's done things usually don't seed at all.
I know torrents only seed when they are needed however I have hundreds of common TV and movies so I would assume someone would request these files at some point. I'm using airvpn and believe I have the port open.
Any help would be great. Willing to pay like $25 for screen share assistance if needed and the issue is solved
After months without torrenting after a friend of mine got a NAS, i decided yesterday to download some torrents, but none of them are seeding, there are sometimes that one of them starts seeding but after a couple of minutes it stops and goes unactive again, does someone has a solution for this? Im using Transmission for download torrents
Does anyone know a priv tracker I can join that has a properly seeded "BFI - British Film Institute Archive Films" torrent. the torrent is about 2000 GB's, whoever made it must have ripped the whole website and I'm dying to get a copy of it. The torrents I've found seem dead unfortunately :(
I recently got into torrenting and the only issue I have is the very slow speeds. My usual download speed is 25Mbps which converts to about 3-3.2 MB/s but I get only 1.1 peak download speed on qBittorrent, no matter the seeders. I tried enabling port forwarding on my router, allowed the port on both the router and my PC firewall but the speed is still the same (I confirmed the port is open on canyouseeme.org). What am I doing wrong?
This is my first time using a torrent software for anything, I am trying to download black ops 2 but the download keeps stalling. I turned on the torrent queue and I force started. I am also using qbittorrent. If possible could someone help.
I'm still using utorrent 2.2.1. Mainly because it's the last utorrent without added spyware. Secondly it handles a sock5 proxy perfectly fine.
I've tried other torrent programs and pretty much all of them I tried has issues with the sock5 connection. They just don't work.
knowing that utorrent 2.2.1 has many known vulns.. I'm looking to installing something up to date that works with a sock5 proxy.
I know that your isp won't be happy with you if you torrent stuff. I got a notification from them once when I was like 14 and first found out about this but not vpn's. If I am seeding a torrent without a VPN can I get in trouble for that? I have done a little looking but haven't found a good answer.
I've had to battle it out with Bitdefender over the years. Today I tried to reinstall Bittorrent but Bitdefender wasn't having it. I made the mistake of relocating the program to Documents, but now even installed it's not going to work there. Where does Bittorrent belong on this system? I've tried to find online where the file is supposed to be on the system.
noob here. i binded proton to qbit and took a link from 1337x, was I supposed to do something else?
Hi can anyone help me? When I try to download a file it won't start if I am using Nord as my Network interface. My solution is to change Network interface to Any Interface then change back to Nord. Does anyone know if the authorities will still be able to pick up that I'm downloading? (In UK)
Curious if anyone could help with this one. A good bit of the videos I download have like digital garble/interference/pixelating (for like of better words) that will make them unwatchable.
I’m curious would this having something to do with the file downloaded or the way it’s being downloaded? Don’t really see how it can be the way I’m downloading something but figured I’d mention it.
I've torrented gigabytes upon gigabytes, but I remove as soon as download is complete, and I am sure many people are the same. I can't imagine there are more people seeding for hours than there are shameless leechers, so how can torrenting ever work out?
Hello ! I download torrents every now and then and naturally I'd like to give back to the community what I take from it.
I have around 300Mbps upload when using my VPN and pretty much every setting is set on unlimited yet it seems I rarely send more than 100K/s on my torrents, usually around 50K/s
Is this normal ? I'm super grateful when I launch a download and get a 10M/s download speed and I'd like to be that person for other people too, especially when my internet allows me to be
I'm trying to upload a show I got from a public tracker to a private tracker.
The public tracker includes also an 'Extras' folder, but the private tracker only accepts uploads with the episodes and the episodes only.
Is there a way to save space and create a torrent with the same path but without the 'Extras' folder, so I can seed to both trackers with only one copy?
I'm using Qbittorrent 5.0.2.
