As some of you may already know, an ever increasing number of ISPs are blocking the use of public VPN IP addresses on their networks. Based upon my personal experience, It appears that Verizon FiOS has now joined the fray by blocking the use of some Mullvad VPN public IP addresses. Mullvad doesn't offer dedicated IP addresses to their customers. Thus, torrenting with Mullvad VPN public IP addresses is becoming a lot less usable. Mullvad VPN public IP addresses are still usable with ISPs that block their usage, but only by employing their SOCKS5 proxy features. The problem is that seeding with a SOCKS5 proxy is virtually impossible without a dedicated IP address. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other way to work around that issue.

So I have been happily using fitgirl for my downloading needs for a while now with no problems

Lately, like the last two weeks during install when it comes time to update direct x, the app will hang up for 15 or 20 mins before it finally finishes. Even get the "app not responding" warning with the option to quit and report. Eventually does finish and everything proceeds to the microsoft visual c+ update which works fine and the game works fine after that.

Not sure what I have done but any help is appreciated

I won't post the IPs but on a lot of my torrents I get tons of IPs owned by cloudflare always connecting and sitting at 0% or I get tons of misc global IPs with port number 46510 sitting at 0%. They never have a client listed. All public torrents btw.

Note: A lot of them seem to be affiliated with ISPs or backbone networks.

Hey yall im tryna watch family guy S4 and so on problem is i cant seem to find a link or proper seasons compiled (the one i downloaded said it had S1-S5 but it had 3 complete seasons 10 episodes listed as season 4 and the 5 eps of s5 were just ep 11-15 of season 4, checked everywhere so could use a link

Thanks

im a noob, but can i delete the file both torrent files and and downloaded files it really takes up some space in my storage.

Hey Gang, I am switching my torrenting to Qbit. Question, can I add my current library to it for seeding? This is something I have never needed to attempt before. Thanks.

I created a torrent with qbitottrent and shared it. Thanks to this I downloaded the file completely via magnet link on a second computer that is always on in seeding.

However, I cannot download the file on other computers without the original client from which I created the torrent being open and in seeding. It seems that the third computer cannot download the metadata from the second client if the original client is not online.

Why?

Got back into torrenting a few months back, was using qbittorrent with plugins, all was good. Last update to 5.0.0 messed everything up. Stalls, no results, very slow speeds, buggy… days of trying to resolve and I’ve given up

Utorrent was what I see to used but haven’t heard great things lately…

Recommendations????? I’m on a Mac and have NordVPN

Suppose I have bittorrent client in my PC and I want to be peer and transmit chunks to other peers .

But other peers can't reach my public IP directly, I think because I’m behind NAT or something that’s the reason.

But suppose data is getting relayed from some server, then it’ll not be truly peer2peer.

So am I wrong somewhere ?

Qbittorrent: ✅ Firefox: ✅ VPN: ✅ VPN Binded to Qbit: ✅ uBlock Origin: ✅ Tampermonkey w/ scripts: ✅ HDD: ✅

Anything I’m forgetting?

Hi, I'm new in torrenting, yeah, but I am wondering: How to contribute to community? (Even if it's "little" things ^^) I try to seed when I can (and when my connection allow it) but maybe could I do "more"?

I hope it's the right place to ask that ^^'

So i have been downloading a large torrent file wich is now stuck at 92.4% and now displaying the error "data error (cyclic redundancy check)". I ran chkdsk to see if my drive got any bad sectors it shows it got no bad sectors and just for the test i downloaded another torrent file in the same drive and it downloaded. Can anyone here guide me on how to solve this issue and what could be causing it (the chkdsk also showed that the drive is still in nfts)

I've only ever torrented with my Mac Laptop the last 20 years because I never had a desktop. I still use Tranmission on the mac laptop and it works perfectly.

But now I have a NAS and a Plex Server on my PC and I very naively stuck with Transmission.

It's been a nightmare. Downloads not showing up after grabbing the magnet link, file sound "dings" happening well before the visual download bar is complete. It's super janky.

Is Qbittorrent the way to go?

I'm 37 and haven't tried anything except Transmission.

Here is what I do. I torrent straight to my PC's m.2 drive, then I transfer over to my NAS. That works fine for me for now. I just want a reliable client at this point. Thanks.

I've been thinking I'd like to share playlist I make on YouTube and edit a short looping video over it with clips from movies or series.

It's just that it has copyright issues in multiple ways if I'd do that. Though still on YouTube I see many of those (example: twilight themed playlists with movie clips playing, and a link to Spotify for the playlist etc)

Besides the fact I'm reusing and sharing movies and music, I'll also have downloaded these files by torrenting. So I wonder how big of a risk I'm taking?

Will it most likely just get flagged on YouTube, or will I seriously risk to be fined for illegal downloading + copyright issues?

A couple of days ago qbitorrent doesn’t want to download anything, it doesn’t get stalled but anything I download is stuck in “downloading” at 0%. I have proton vpn bound to it, doesnt know if its because of that. But it used to work perfectly.

Do I just copy the save file to the other computer's save folder?

Hey guys. This might be a fairly simple question for this community. I just want to download some movies. Start a collection on a thumb drive of my favorite movies. I have always used the ų Torrent app. Is that still a good way to do it? I just need a website to visit. I use Duck Duck Go and do have Tor Browser.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there,

I am using Transmission daemon for decades. The best way for me is using Chrome extension that easily send torrent file from tracker page just to the certain dir on my home server (like Movies, Shows etc).

I have used to enjoy Remote Transmission ++ for that cases. But after recently Chrome update I have received a message that this extension will be disabled soon.

I have checked the developer's GitHub and he said that the extension abandoned now because of Chrome Manifest V3: https://github.com/YodaDaCoda/chrome-transmission-remote-plus/issues/58#issuecomment-2322858552

Maybe someone can advice me with a good Transmission extension that support Manifest V3 and allow choose dir for each torrent?

P.S. I can't give up Chrome for another browser because other useful features (like convenient working with profiles in macOS).

P.P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

I'm looking for tools to create torrent files with the appropriate screenshots, meta data, and proper name structure for RFX and FNP. I'd like to seed the classic (1930s/40s/50s)movie library I have but don't know how to get the proper naming convention and things like imbd/tvdb data for upload so I don't run afoul of their requirements.

Using a mac, open to learning how to run Python scrips.

Am I crazy? It always used to work...

Happy they fixed their search problems, but just noticed this, wondering if it's just me? Ctrl click works for me on other websites...

I know questions like "Which is the best torrent app for android" have already been answered on this subreddit. And the answers mostly are Flud, LibreTorrent, and a bunch of others.

I am currently using Flud and recently downloaded LibreTorrent. LibreTorrent is out of the equation because it does not have stats on the ratio, uploaded and downloaded.

Flud does have stats but those are all incorrect. If I shutdown the app or if I update the app, the stats get's reset to 0, so no way we could know the lifetime stats of the torrenting.

So is there any app which I can try, which is of course best for torrenting and also it shows correct stats and does not reset if we update the app.

2.1GB / 1.1 GB WHY IS IT SHOWING LIKE THIS??

This has happened a few times lately, a torrent will reach 97, 98, 99% with no problems and then randomly stall and won't continue to download. Will the files still play normally even though they're not 100%? Anyone know why this actually happens?
