What software/OS are you running on your NAS? If you’re running some goofy software on a private tracker your client might not be whitelisted.
Besides that - this NAS is attached to your home network I assume? Is it behind a router? Are the ports you’re using for torrenting port-forwarded?
What tracker are you testing this on? A bunch of trackers will have a “Connectivity check” that will tell you whether or not your client is connectable
I be sailin’ the digital seas with a trusty QNAP OS and the mighty QBittorrent, but I be a greenhorn in this life on the high seas. Me heart’s desire be to contribute to our pirate brotherhood by becoming a proper seederman.
Be ye privy to a treasure map, a definitive guide, that can steer me in the right direction to turn me NAS into a fearsome seedin’ contraption fit for the high seas?
But yeah, I also have a QNAP NAS that I just finished getting set up! And it is indeed seeding out, I’m almost at 0.49 for my all-time share ratio after downloading some stuff over the last few days. It’s taking longer to get my share ratio up than I expected, but idk, I’m new here.
Anyway, from reading a couple of strongly-worded posts on Reddit it seems that you need to have port forwarding enabled on your VPN to really seed effectively. Did you look at that when picking your VPN?
Basically I’m using AirVPN with binhex’s arch-qbittorrentvpn docker container to get it all set up. Binhex has lots of helpful pages on their GitHub for getting things working properly.
I don’t know if there’s a “definitive guide” - it’s not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books…?
Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an “easy” one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you’re just permanently seeding everything you download, you’ll get points and “rise the ranks” of that tracker.
Once you’re a high enough rank on that tracker, you’ll get access to their “Invite Forums” where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers
Spoken with the spirit of a genuine sea rover, me matey, but listen here, we must band together as brethren to stand strong against the mighty organizations that threaten our way of life on the vast and treacherous ocean!
I’ve spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn’t been working much at all 😭. It’s been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that’s good, and it makes me think it’s something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it’s a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.
Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I’m super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I’d really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.
I’ve set it up with PrivadoVPN without issues, using Docker. Gluetun in its own docker container and Qbittorrent in its own, with network mode set to use the Gluetun contaoner. Haven’t tested downloading a lot though. Gluetun has some good docs how to set it up in Docker.
Maybe it’s my VPN provider then. I’ll have to try it with another one. I’ve followed so many of those documents. Do you use Port Forwarding with PrivadoVPN?
What are you trying to accomplish? Hide/anonymize your Internet/torrenting activity? Or access your LAN devices from the Internet? Because those are two different use cases for VPN. One requires paying a third party provider, the other - hosting a VPN server on your network.
You can name the title, that’s fine. The only thing you can’t do here is openly share links to that content (it must be encoded with base64).
When it comes to old media, especially from the early 2000’s and earlier, I start with Archive.org and YouTube.
Like /u/Sharpiemaker suggested, your library would also be a good spot to check. If you have a reference library in your system they are a goldmine for that sort of thing.
Alternatively, you can pick up a cheap capture card and record the tape to your PC.
I have found a library that had equipment to transfer to DVD, however if the tape has copy protection it won’t work. I’ll find out. Plus, I can buy a DVD version - I found it in searches - but I already own this and don’t want to buy it again.
Honestly, I’d check at your local library. A lot of them have inter-library loans, so they can search a network of libraries for the specific title you’re looking for.
