    But if I dont seed then I’m immune from piracy laws…

    Surely they’ll treat me the same way they treat AI companies

      On private trackers thats pretty typical in my experience, if you’re getting that on public trackers and you see there are peers then you might not have port forwarding set up correctly.

        Trying to correctly configure port forwarding can be difficult though…

          Use a VPN with port forwarding. Every one I’ve ever used let me forward a static port, assigned from the account section of the VPN website, which I then entered into Qbit along with setting QBit’s network interface to the VPN so that everything stops if the VPN goes down.

          Im thinking most people’s issues arise from using something like NordVPN or Mullvad which don’t offer port forwarding.

    I see all my torrents until 1, then keep them until I need the space.

    Apart for really big and known torrents like distro ISOs. I won’t be able to reach that threshold before the new version comes out, and I can’t beat the torrent farms in speed either

      Well not with THAT attitude! Now go on, and go outbid Amazon for a plot of commercial real estate. Buy a big commercial warehouse and turn it into a seeding farm. Seed your torrent to all your warehouse PCs, and then seed from your warehouse from thousands of PCs.
