How can I ensure that qbitorrent is actually seeding? I have this torrent with triple digit peers, barely any seeds and it's seeding at 0 byes / second. It says I've uploaded a lot but nowhere near a 1:1 ratio for this torrent.

I'm trying to be a considerate pirate. What settings do I change to make it seed more?

A lot of peers won't download from you if you don't, thus why it's hard to get to 1:1. You'll want a VPN that lets you setup port forwarding.

I use Deluge and to set that up I just needed to set "Incoming Port" to the port I'd setup forwarding for with my VPN.
