Actually, ufw has its own separate issue you may need to deal with. (Or bind ports to localhost/127.0.0.1 as others have stated.)

If they’re supposed to be binary-identical data (same file checksums), you can use BiglyBTs Swarm Merging feature - without manually copying (which isn’t as reliable due to the start/end of the files not bordering on the chunk boundaries.
If they’ve been modified in any way though, this won’t work. However, you might be able to use its Swarm Discovery to find other torrents with the same data and complete with Swarm Merging.
It’s no different than any other client, and looks like the torrent is healthy so should just work.
As with all BT clients, you get better connectivity by forwarding the designated port. Does it say NAT OK at the bottom of the window?
Have heard ppl used it with that many but not tested myself.
Yea qBittorrent, chosen as was meant to be lightweight so runs in a docker container on a Raspberry Pi 4 (but often eats all 8GB available RAM - could be just a problem with the docker imagine tho.) Haven’t used Transmission so can’t compare.
Compared to the memory footprint of web browsers, a Java BT app is pretty tame on modern computers these days. Nor do you have to faff around with installing JRE manually. It just works.
Resource usage is pretty good tho and it can handle hundreds of torrents with ease.
Towards the end of its life, Vuze started adding crap like ads in the sidepanel and spyware in the installer. Plus a bunch of useless features like DVD burning and ‘content network’. My guess is the two main devs got involved with some investors at the time of the Azureus rename and didn’t like the way it was heading, so forked the project and rebranded to BiglyBT so they could go it on their own. Since it was open source, and mostly their own code, they couldn’t really stop them. Edit: More info at TF.
Sad thing is, many people are blissfully unaware of the history and still running Vuze to this day - when it hasn’t been touched in 6+ years. Amazingly the site is still up but nobody’s home, so its very risky to be using an out-of-date client like that with a spyware-laden installer - with the very real possibility of the binaries being switched out. (Their SSL cert has lapsed several times.)
The good news is, if anyone’s still running Vuze, BiglyBT is a straight swap-out.
If anyone’s unfamiliar with this client, it’s been around a long time, and was previously named Vuze (and before that: Azureus)!
Tis been under active development by the two main devs for all these years. The adware crap was removed from day 1 of the fork and it’s a really solid (and featurefull) client. Highly recommend. Also does I2P.
The absolute best feature is Swarm Discovery and Swarm Merge, which lets you find identical large files across different torrents and cross-seed and merge said torrents while downloading both. With Swarm, I’ve been able to download torrents with <1.0 availability - completing both torrents and become the seed hero. And this was before it supported the v2 BitTorrent spec (which gives you individual file hashes).
I still use qBit for my *arr automation but BiglyBT is always there for everything else and as a great backup client.
Well your account is on lemmy.world so how d’ya know the issue isn’t with your own access to the front end?
Many don’t interact with the lemmy.world directly, so we might only see delays in post propogation (if there is such an issue on the backend - I don’t see any but could be wrong).
I agree picking the biggest instances isn’t great from a scaling perspective, but s’gonna be hard to move any community once established.
Plus footybite.com, which seems to be a copycat, but I can never work out which one yet they both have working streams - one more so than the other. Unfortunately, web site streaming is always hit n miss, and the sheer number of streams listed on these sites makes it harder to find good ones.
Sad they phased out the Ace Stream links (from back when it was r/soccerstreams), coz the tech is pretty impressive and works at scale. If you can hunt down the Ace Stream ID for a particular channel, you can get really good quality streams.
If qBittorrent/qb-nox is bound to your VPN interface, then 1) your VPN needs to support port forwarding, and 2) forwarding a port on your router is pointless and unnecessary. Your only way around it is to switch VPN or don’t use VPN and then port forward.
