No port forwarding
I torrent even without the port forwarding and still get great speeds, and >1 share ratios
Great for you, but most good private trackers will ban you if you aren't connectable. If you're only torrenting English stuff then public trackers are fine, or one's with lax rules like IPT, but for many other languages private trackers are unavoidable.
It's also just against the spirit of the P2P network to not accept connections from others, if your port isn't forwarded then you can only seed to users who have their port forwarded
ah, im not that deep into it so i dont really do too much with that. I understand why you'd need port forwarding, then
