  Make sure you have the right port open, which is necessary for incoming peer connections

    This. Check for port forwarding if you use a VPN, you can see of your client is connectable by the colour of the globe in the bottom bar in qbittorrent

  Of you’re in private trackers, you’ll find that hard. Instead, seed for a long time and use the points to purchase upload credit.

      In private trackers, it can be difficult to find enough leechers to upload more than you download. Most of yhe content will be sitting there with many people seeding compared to how many people are trying to download.

      To balance the system, private trackers will give you points for the amount of time spent seeding. You use the points to purchase upload credit to keep your ratio up.

      If you’re using public trackers (that you can access without an account) then this doesn’t apply. If you’re struggling to upload enough then it’s probably that you aren’t contactable. To transfer, one of the parties needs their port forwaded to create the connection. If you have yours forwarded you can share with anyone, if you don’t then you can only share with peers that have their port forwaded.

  Are you trying to achieve a certain ratio for a specific reason?
