I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community's megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I'm having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I'm on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says "there is a configuration issue". The DHT number is non zero, and I'm currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I've search online but haven't been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I'm ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

Some good news. It appears that the tracker didn't had anyone downloading the torrent while I was seeding it. Because I tried seeding a public torrent, and it worked without any issue (although it still states a warning of "no direct connection").

The executive log might just be handy. I was full of questions what is going without the software telling me what it isn't able to.

I'll keep a look out. I saw a few megabytes of upload on the private tracker. Lol.
