When I download games from FitGirl (using qBittorrent and Mullvad) it wont seed. When I download Movies/Music it always seeds. Is FitGirl not taking Seeds or is there a problem with Mullvad? Thanks in advance, I dont want to be a leech and want to make sure I do my part.

    Mullvad has NO port forwarding anymore. My Alternative was Proton VPN but it has only random ports.

    Mullvad don’t have port forwarding anymore (since 2023 I think) so seeding won’t work properly.

    This could be a router or VPN issue, or both. Is FitGirl private? They probably have info about port forwarding and seeding in an FAQ.

    I use Mullvad and Transmission, and I generally never have issues seeding. I’m currently seeding a few torrents from 1337x, EZTVx, and some linux ISO images.

    Whenever I grab FitGirl stuff, I’m usually scraping the Fucking Fast links and using this library to download them, so I can’t speak to whether or not it’s something with FitGirl (but I can’t imagine it would be). Most likely some setting on your end.
