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! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚓

What software/OS are you running on your NAS? If you're running some goofy software on a private tracker your client might not be whitelisted.

Besides that - this NAS is attached to your home network I assume? Is it behind a router? Are the ports you're using for torrenting port-forwarded?

What tracker are you testing this on? A bunch of trackers will have a "Connectivity check" that will tell you whether or not your client is connectable

I be sailin' the digital seas with a trusty QNAP OS and the mighty QBittorrent, but I be a greenhorn in this life on the high seas. Me heart's desire be to contribute to our pirate brotherhood by becoming a proper seederman.

Be ye privy to a treasure map, a definitive guide, that can steer me in the right direction to turn me NAS into a fearsome seedin' contraption fit for the high seas?

I don't know if there's a "definitive guide" - it's not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books..?

Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an "easy" one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you're just permanently seeding everything you download, you'll get points and "rise the ranks" of that tracker.

Once you're a high enough rank on that tracker, you'll get access to their "Invite Forums" where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers
