Problem with mine is that ALL of them are stalled at 0% and just won't start at all. I've tried to download some from the freeleech section so that I could try out seeding, but nothing is downloading. I think the status in the tracker said "Not working"
But strangely, it started working now as I was typing this and I still have no clue what made it work.
On a side note, Is it a normal thing to have every download be "Stalled"? Can't quite figure out what's wrong.
By the way, do you know how to make it so that my VPN's data is ONLY used for seeding/torrenting? I'm currently using Windscribe so I have to conserve my 15 GB of data.
Seeding requires the VPN to be active, right?
So since I can't use a VPN and I only plan to torrent and seed stuff from here, I should be reasonably safe as long as I don't do it too much to arouse suspicion from the network providers?
(I'm not in the US)
Also, do you know if VPNs like Windscribe or Privado are good? They seem to allow torrenting with the free versions.
So does that mean I can't seed and earn the funny seed bonus here since I don't have a consistent income to pay for a premium VPN and whatnot?
Does this also mean if I try to seed or torrent anyway it'll be VERY risky?
What free VPN do you recommend? I've tried to download a torrent with Proton VPN active, but it wouldn't let me, saying something about how I need to upgrade to premium to unlock peer to peer downloads and file sharing.
So how do I do all that stuff about seeding and torrenting? I don't fully understand it.
From what I DO understand, I can download ANY torrent, preferably Freeleech, and then use something like Qbittorrent (I was recommended this a year or two ago) to open/seed the file?
Are there any precautions I need to take, like using a VPN to ensure my own safety?
