mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

Seeding is crippled due to no port forwarding. You can download, you just can't really share back.

This is exaggerated. I seeded 500gb in the last 3 days and I use mullvad.

Port forwarding is not a strict requirement. The reciever can have open ports, and even if not, NAT hole punching often works.

Can you explain how this works? My seeding is garbage and I'm not sure how to set it up to work better.

[โ€“] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It shouldnโ€™t need setup if you use a modern client.

My experience with seeding involves me having 80 or so semi popular torrents seeding 24/7. So that might be why. When my library was smaller or back when I opened my client only to download I barely seeded.

I use qbittorrent, and even popular or legitimate torrents get zero uploads.

I was curious so looked at my qBittorrent stats. I've uploaded 378 TB in the last year.

I have torrents have a great seed ratio and use mullvad
