Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help

Maybe I'm looking at a different guide than you, but I'm not seeing any way for qbittorrent to auto update the forwarded port from Proton. Everytime your VPN connection resets (either from reboot or just a dropped connection), you have to manually update the port in qbittorrent. Of course there are some scripts that can do this for you.

Hmm, you're right. I just looked for the same article and I guess I was misremembering the content of the Proton VPN KB article.

What this do? Does it set the port number for qBitTorrent?

Yep
