Just crossed 1PB total upload, felt like bragging a bit. I’m sure others who have been at this for years and years would put my numbers to shame, but I was excited to see that 4th digit tick over! :)

    Yeah, I use PIA and I’ve tried the “request port forwarding” option as well as in my firewall and modem ¯_(ツ)_/¯ my modem is from the ISP and kinda turbo shit so I was thinking of getting my own but haven’t yet lol

      I that case, I got nothing 🙁

      Anyway, I know some folks just can’t seed for whatever reason. No biggie. To each as they need, from each as they can provide

      Make sure you put the port you’re being assigned into your necessary application. Also note that it can change when you disconnect and reconnect so you periodically want to make sure the port in your application matches the port assigned to you by PIA.

      so you actually have no idea whether “your ISP throttles your shit crazy”. it probably does not, because if you are using vpn, that would affect all your other traffic as well.

      try to stop using the vpn and test the behaviour of the torrent again.
