Used to sail the high seas in the days of TPB and Demonoid (when they were still good). Started again recently with a servarr stack with Deluge on docker but didn’t realize it wasn’t seeding properly and now my torrentleech ratio is in grave danger.

What might I be missing in my network config? Docker has all ports exposed and Deluge has uPnP enabled. Downloads work just fine and torrents periodically connect to peers but nothing ever actually uploads.

    The main thing you need to double-check & possibly fix is to make sure you are fully connectable (port forwarded). So for example you should check your torrent client’s incoming connection port with a external 3rd party website e.g. https://www.canyouseeme.org/, https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, etc. If the test fails then you’ll need to set up a port forward in your network router and check that other software isn’t interfering (firewall, anti virus/malware software, etc.).

    There are other things you can look into though being fully connectable is the most important one.

    The internal forums in TL also discuss this stuff.
