Thing I’m confused about is that they’re saying if you use a VPN you have to update them on the ip address as it changes. So every once in a while I should check my ip and email them?
Thanks! I just went through the sign up process yesterday morning and using a VPN. Do you have your torrent client collectable? Do you find any benefits having that? Only asking because I can see my seeds are getting registered and I’m maintaining a radio
Networking is the sole reason I’m not in IT. I hate it, I get different errors doing the same thing, and generally avoid every possible second of doing I can.
I did TRY to get my client connectable, but I never can. I’m in the same boat as you - I still get ratio and no one has ever said anything, so I leave it alone.
You sign up from your home ip address, which is SOP for all private trackers. Your passkey embedded in every torrent you seed contains information about your account so that you can seed with a vpn and the tracker will know which account is actually doing the seeding. The only wonky thing on MAM with a vpn is that the .torrent file has to be downloaded from the same ip address that downloads the file in the bt client, so if you download the .torrent file with your vpn turned off or the download is outside the vpn tunnel, then fire up the vpn and launch qbittorrent, when you try to begin downloading the file you’ll get an error message.

I have an always on VPN. I’ve never done that and have had no problems. Just be polite and sign up without one and then tell the mods you use one.

I’m assuming you mean connectable and ratio.

Fair enough, that’s what I’m thinking too. Seems to work well enough and nobodys said anything
