Ahoy, me hearties!

Listen well, me brethren! I've just acquired a fine NAS, and I be lookin' to bolster our magnificent pirate community by sharing me digital plunder far and wide. But alas, it's come to me attention that the uploads on all me torrents be as small as a speck of sand on the ocean floor, or worse, a big fat zero!

Now, I beseech ye, me shipmates, lend me yer wisdom. How can I fortify our pirate brotherhood? What be the proper settings for me NAS? Be there any trusty trackers or tools to help me upload and distribute the most crucial booty to aid our cause on the high seas?

Speak up, ye seasoned scallywags, and together we shall chart a course toward a stronger, more formidable pirate crew! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚓

I appreciate your commitment to the bit.

But yeah, I also have a QNAP NAS that I just finished getting set up! And it is indeed seeding out, I’m almost at 0.49 for my all-time share ratio after downloading some stuff over the last few days. It’s taking longer to get my share ratio up than I expected, but idk, I’m new here.

Anyway, from reading a couple of strongly-worded posts on Reddit it seems that you need to have port forwarding enabled on your VPN to really seed effectively. Did you look at that when picking your VPN?

Basically I’m using AirVPN with binhex’s arch-qbittorrentvpn docker container to get it all set up. Binhex has lots of helpful pages on their GitHub for getting things working properly.
