Is it really creeping if the profile is public? Same thing as checking it daily with your Instagram account, but without the privacy issues

Any ideas why this happens? I've gotten some blank results as well in some occasions and now I'm wondering if this is why

Mr. GOG comes to your house and destroys the drive you're storing the game on

Same approach, especially now that I upgraded my storage. Got a ratio of 135 on one file, no idea how or why though

You must have made a mistake somewhere, as once I close the Proton VPN client (actual "close", as in the app is not running anymore) my qBit does stop downloading (just tested), although the rest of the system still has access to the network (must have something to do with how apps are installed on Linux, I guess).

In my qBit settings > advanced > network interface I read "tun0", and that's what I think was suggested in the official setup guide on Proton. What do you have?

Hey, I've been torrenting on Linux through the ProtonVPN program without issues for the past months.

I don't know the specifics because I'm new to Linux, but I followed the official guide on how to set it up and everything just worked. Don't even need to change the port in qBit, I can upload anyway as long as I pick a P2P server in Proton, and very fast too (depending of what people want me to seed), uncapped upload speed often nears my max upload bandwidth.

Also binding qBit to the VPN is not a problem, just follow the official guide. Tested it now, and if I disconnect the VPN, qBit shows a red world in the network status and speeds go to zero, so it works.

It's true that the Linux client is not as fully-fledged as the Windows one, but it's not unusable.

I'm on PoP!_OS if it can be of any help. If you have questions that might help you with using Proton on Linux feel free to ask and I'll try my best!

This is the most plausible explanation to me as well

Is there a list of nyaa mirrors? I have bookmarked nyaa si and nyaa iss one, I think because at some point nyaa si wasn't working properly. Would love to have more in case shit hits the fan

Not from the same source, but I'm in the middle of getting a 5GB file that took me five days so far and will take another five to complete. After that, I think I will keep sharing for as long as possible this one, since I see a lot of peers every day, even though there's only one seeder, from which I'm currently downloading at 10Kbps (and not because of my bandwidth, I think it's theirs that's a bit on the slow side).

I have slow upload, but once there are two seeds things should get better for all other peers, compared to now haha

VPN isn't specifically for pirating, personally I could even torrent without it, no one would give a crap; my situation aside, you can DDL without a VPN and you'd still be in the clear

Have you checked the thread on csrin for a cracked executable?

edit: you were asking for feedback about specifically those two VPNs, so my comment was useless.
