I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community’s megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I’m having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I’m on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says “there is a configuration issue”. The DHT number is non zero, and I’m currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I’ve search online but haven’t been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I’m ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

    Turn off the UPnP checkbox, then forward port 25643 on your router, then make sure port 25643 is able to get through the firewall.

    If you want to check if the port is accessible, go to https://canyouseeme.org/ and check port 25643
