Instead of leaving Xitter, they left Mastodon. Proton’s trend is not inspiring confidence and this feels like another step backwards.

    Well that is something I’ll need to look into. My seed ratios seem to be keeping up too though, so I’m still not sure if port forwarding is a solution in search of a problem on my end. I guess I have more learning to do. Thank you for giving me a direction to start investigating.

      If you’re not port-forwarding, only peers that are port-forwarding can download from you. And you can only download from peers that are port-forwarding. There can be times where a torrent only has a few seeders, but they are not port-forwarding, and if you’re not either, you won’t be able to download the torrent.

        Ah ok thank you, I think the fact that the other party could be providing this capability was the component that I wasn’t conceptualizing before. Thank you for this post, I don’t know why this was so hard to grasp for me but this landed.
