There’s very little info to work with so it’s unlikely you’ll receive any specific advice.

But mainly you do want to be fully connectable (port forwarded) so check that. Go to any port test website (www.canyouseeme.org, www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, etc.) and enter your torrent client’s incoming connection port there. (for qBittorrent that is in Tools / Options / Connection / Listening Port)

If that test fails then you need to figure out what is blocking your torrent client’s incoming connection port.

  • If you’re using a proxy that’s the issue, won’t get an incoming connection port via proxy
  • If you’re using a VPN service that does not support port forwarding then that’s the issue, it is impossible to port forward on a VPN without port forwarding support
  • If you’re using a VPN service with port forwarding support then go to their website & figure out how to configure it, each VPN service is slightly different
  • If you’re not using a VPN/Proxy then most likely you’ll need to log into your network router/firewall & configure a port forward there. Basically create a port forward for your torrent client’s incoming connection port & point it to your local system on the network (your NAS)

Also make sure to whitelist your torrent client in any anti-virus/malware software you are using, those will definitely slow you down and/or block connections to your torrent client.

There’s potentially other issues but everyone starts with being connectable first.

The post needs more info.

What are you playing on? I have a good list of PC games.

Do you mean "Couch Co-op"? Or LAN, like many comments here seem to assume you do?

They said local co-op in their post, I’m assuming they mean couch co-op

You guys will have a blast playing ninja turtles together.

Rentlar,

That game is a lot of fun. The play feels very different comparing 1-2 players (strategizing, skillful combat) and 5-6 players (a full out mayhem and frenzy).

Both Subnautica games and Tunic.

There’s a pair of Tomb Raider isometric games that have decent local co-op. Guardian of Light and something else…

Sackboy’s Big Adventure, and Super Mario 3D World. Both are similar.

Rayman Origins and Legends.

If you want an old PS2 Fromsoft game, I recommend Kuri Kuri Mix.

niisyth,

Second Super Mario 3D World and Rayman games. The Rayman ones were a huge hit when my college mates visited.

Can someone explain to me what port forwarding in the context of torrenting is about? I use qbittorrent and nordvpn in docker containers and have never exposed/forwarded a port but get more than adequate upload/download speeds.

RyeMan,

Port forwarding allows you to bypass your NAT firewall which will naturally block all unsolicited traffic on a closed port. What that means for a torrent download is peers cannot introduce themselves to you and create a new connection, you can only connect to active peers who have their ports open.

Just to add more background to that, before your torrent can begin downloading pieces from various peers, you need to know the address of the peers sharing the pieces you need. Typically that is handled by the tracker and/or DHT. A tracker acts as sort of a logistics middle-man. It helps facilitate efficient transmission between peers by tracking what each peer has and needs. If peer B needs piece X, the tracker will supply peer B with the address to peer A who has piece X. Assuming peer A has their incoming port open, they will accept the request for piece X and send it to peer B. If their port is closed, the request will simply be denied and no traffic will be shared between the peers. The tracker’s address, as well as the data hash and some other misc data is coded into the torrent file. DHT is a little more unique and complicated. It is a fully distributed hash table on a P2P network and does not rely on a tracker at all, it’s strictly P2P. The only little catch to that is to initially introduce yourself into the network you need to bootstrap your connection using some hardcoded addresses, often from a very centralized source. Port forwarding becomes much more important for DHT because after the initial bootstrap, there is no middle-man, it’s strictly peer to peer and by having your ports closed, your client can’t effectively communicate across the network. Without two-way communication across peers, your client will generally be stuck with a very limited pool of peers it can communicate with. Magnet links as well as most torrent clients utilize DHT.

One reason it’s not so noticeable these days when ports are closed is because many torrent peers exist in big data centers with virtually unlimited bandwidth. When torrents were still young, most if not all peers were hosted on consumer grade hardware at a residence so you needed every connection you could get.

If your torrent download happens to be a well-known Linux ISO, chances are very likely that there will be at least two or three peers you’ll connect to that exist in a data center, they will most likely account for 80%+ of your download speed.

Blocking ports ultimately hurts seeding the most which can effect the overall “health” of a torrent. Say a peer labeled A can’t connect to those giant data center peers for whatever reason, they now have to seek out other peers that may have the data they are looking for. If all the other peers have their ports closed, well then the torrent is essentially dead for peer A and they’ll have to either wait for someone with open ports to come online and start seeding or search for an entirely new torrent.

Sorry, this was a bit of an on-the-go mind dump so please anyone correct me if I’m wrong anywhere here but that’s pretty much the gist of port forwarding in the context of torrenting.

YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU,

I’m immensely appreciative of this explanation, thank you. I believe I understand now.

RicoBerto,

When torrenting your client should be “Connectable” which means fully accessible from others. You can use the guides others have posted to achieve that but basically, an unconnectable client can still seed to those who are connectable, but two unconnectable clients cant connect to each other. Or at least this is how it has been described to me by a private tracker.

I love couch and online co-op! Here are some recommendations from my library

  • A lot of Team17 games like Overcooked (including 2 and AYCE edition) or Movin’ Out.
  • Plate Up!
  • Unrailed!
  • Out of Space
  • Magicka 2 (and 1 but its way harder)
  • Wizard of Legend (hard game will need many tries)
  • Castle Crashers
  • Risk of Rain (1 is difficult or 2 which is easier)
  • Sonic All Stars Racing Transform/Team Sonic Racing
  • Spelunky (1 or 2)
  • TMNT Shredder’s Revenge

Jeśli ćwiczysz na siłowni to ciągłe uczucie głodu jest normalne, niezależnie od diety. Ja polecam odżywki z białka drożdżowego. Mają mocny serowy smak i aromat, nawet lepszy niż płatki drożdżowe. Dodaję trochę do posiłków.

unsaid0415,

Nie zgadzam się z tą opinią. Układ nerwowy błagający o litość tak, ale głód nie (jem mięso).

LifeNausea,

Nie, nie jest:P Masz większe zapotrzebowanie kaloryczne, ale jeśli jesteś ciągle głodny, to coś robisz źle.

bodhisattva,

Akurat ćwiczyłem kiedyś, jak jeszcze jadłem mięso i pamiętam to uczucie, ale jednak teraz jest trochę inaczej. Częściej czuję się zmulony i słaby, a nie pobudzony i głodny.

Vampire survivors just came out on switch and is a lot of fun in co-op (they also added local co-op to the PC version)

ndondo, do gaming w Need some local coop recommendations

Highly reccomend guilty gear strive if you like 2p fighter type games. It probably doesnt qualify as a coop but it is an amazing game to play local

Cuphead is absolutely gorgeous, it’s just hard to appreciate because you’re constantly trying not to die.

I grew up with Felix the Cat and Popeye and Betty Boop on VHS, not because I’m super old but because we were poor farmers. Cuphead is the only game I’ve ever played that has recreated this ancient animation style and it is done so incredibly well. It’s a masterclass in art style and gameplay at the same time.

Myślę że temat jest na tyle zniuansowany, że możesz zwyczajnie się wybrać do dietetyka, może nawet jest jakiś vegan friendly. Nie zaszkodzi też przed wizytą strzelić sobie morfologię na wszelki.

p.s. przez może 2 miesiące jadłem super dietą “jeden dzień jem, drugi nie” - organizm jest rozjebany jak most krymski

Monument Valley. Visually beautiful enough to warrant repeated play-through just to admire the design, and conceptually brilliant as well.

And another vote for Gris, too.
