I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community’s megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.
But I’m having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I’m on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says “there is a configuration issue”. The DHT number is non zero, and I’m currently trying to seed on two trackers.
Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I’ve search online but haven’t been lucky so far.
As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I’m ready to switch.
EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.
I dont know how to fix that issue, but ones you get that figured out, i can recomend you setup search engines in qbit, as that is one of the best features, becouse then you dont have to go on 5 websites to find the movie you are looking for
you mean Jackett? Yeah, I’ve already figured that one out.
There are lots, its a build in feature so you just press search and then you search, and it shows a long list
Thanks, but I already came across this: https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins.
My issue is with seeding. I’m able to download at full bandwidth.
EDIT: There are lot of guides/tutorial online which lead nowhere. I came across the forum but I’m not sure my queries will be helped in time.

How can I resolve that?
The same way as your previous torrent program. Forward the port on your router to the device running qBitorrent and make sure the qBitorrent setting for the port to use matches.
Also make sure the firewall in Linux allows the port too.
Where are you sending from? Home computer? Home computer with VPN? Seedbox? The answer will change based on which.
An easy hack might be to look at your transmission settings, find the port it uses and just copy that into qbittorrent settings.
where can I find the transmission settings?
It’s a home PC with no VPN
Is that qBittorrent? If you meant transmission as in the torrenting software, I’ve never used it. Before switching to qBit I was using aria2 😅.
Btw, thanks to all of you, the problem appears to be resolved. Its a matter of tracker requesting seeds now.
That’s transmission. My mistake, I somehow got the wrong impression that you had a working transmission set up before.
Glad to hear that everything is resolved :)
Im just guessing, but did you increase the number of active torrents? Any chance your firewall is blocking it? Try disabling firewall.
Btw you dont need alternative, qbit is perfect especially if you want to use *arr stack (highly recommended), but you can try transmission
If you mean torrent queue, it is disabled. The port I’m using is open in the firewall and the router. I’m using firewalld.
I have been looking into *arr. I just need some time to implement it 😉
I reckon it has something to do with advance tab
Hey I updated to your settings. Didn’t work out
Turn off the UPnP checkbox, then forward port 25643 on your router, then make sure port 25643 is able to get through the firewall.
If you want to check if the port is accessible, go to https://canyouseeme.org/ and check port 25643
Shouldn’t DHT be off if you’re seeding on a private tracker? I don’t use private trackers, but I remember seeing instructions for that

It’s off on private tracker
