Qbittorrent is very slow for me and only people who can't enjoy pirating cuz of their isp use it. What do you mean by opening a port?
oh, yeah, I can understand the fear of getting caught.
Well you can forward the torrent's port, it'll be faster as they can connect to you. But if you don't have any ports open you can still connect to others, I was using torrent for a long time like that. My isp didn't allow portforwarding.
Also if you can't find a way to get it. I can download it and sent it over via cloud if you want.
No no im not afraid of getting caught as i said third world countries don't care about digital piracy . Sorry, again i don't understand what ports are? Are they layers like tor for anonymous torrenting ? Or fast gates of downloading? I don't understand im a level 1 in this hahaha 😅
Oh, I didn't catch you than, why can't you torrent again?
hm, how can I explain ports.. Sometimes when you see an IP address it's like this:
12.34.56.78:1234. the number after the colon are called the port number. Everything before the colon addresses your router (if wlan), and everything after the colon, the port, adresses a specific computer's specific application. To host a server you must open/forward a port. Back to torrents: A torrent client is a p2p node, it's a server and a client at the same time. A server because others can connect to you. And a client because it'll connect to others' servers. So if your ISP blocks port forwarding others can't connect to you, but you can still connect to others. Making the transfer slower, because two computers that don't have their ports open can't connect to each other.Now I have no idea how trackerless torrenting works, and maybe I'm wrong about my last sentance (there could be a bridge). But as I don't know much, you'll better off reading into this on your own. Anyways, point is that I can't see why torrenting won't work.
i see tks for clarifying that for my stupid ass, well ive been trying in the last 3hs but the downloading as always is very slow and once it reaches 2.5% or 3% it says -----> status: stalled i know this was gonna happen ugh... nothing better tha DD
it'll probably take days yeah, but it'll most likely download. Stalled means that it can't find anyone that can give you the parts, but the fact that you downloaded some of it means someone at least has them. Eventually it'll download. Try opening the port.
Or again, I'm willing to seed it for a while.
Technically there is a chance that the full file isn't available, in that case there's nothing to do. You can check: There got to be an
availabilitylisted per peer, or somewhere. Meaning you can check how much % other's got. If you see anyone with 100% or the highest guy's % is growing it's available. Never had anything like this happen to me tho, I'm talking based on theory.Tk you
