I’ve been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don’t seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don’t want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.
So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I’m running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?
Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).
I’ve tried a seedbox in the past and they’re neat, but I’d rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I’m using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that’s significant.
i have a raspberry pi 4 and it’s completely fine running 24/7 with torrents. Granted, with 3MB/s upload it’s currently hitting one core at 60% but I use Dietpi which has a nice utility to reduce the CPU priority on qbittorrent if another service needs it.
Plus, you could set up a samba share, store your torrents on the shared drive, and copy them to your Main PC when you need em. Doesnt need to be sophisticated.
