Maybe one day ProtonVPN will fix their port-forwarding for their configuration files, I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this and their support is oblivious that this function even exists.

For people wondering the Learn More link just tells you what port forwarding does.

Friendly reminder that seedboxes are definitely worth it. Go for a seedbox if you can afford it

And join private trackers, quality is better and you pretty much get seeds all the time.

Sorry guys but I'm living out of a 500GB hard drive. Anything that I'm not using regularly gets purged.

Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It really depends on the tracker in use. I tend to stick to private trackers, so I feel relatively safe stopping seeding at a ratio of 2-3. For public trackers, your ratio would have to be pretty dang high because most people stop seeding on those.
