I found my issue. I used to put gibberish into the email field and worked previously. The new account I made in the OP also had a gibberish email. My new account is a valid email and can log in.

    Had the same issue, but fixed it by clicking on 'forgot password', entering my email and using the new password to login. However, the security seems questionable - it did not verify/notify my email id, and presents my password in plaintext on the website itself.

    Huh this is definitely sounding more complicated than what I know about this topic. You can do port forwarding on any router. You just have to set it to forward the QBT port (7832 By default) to whatever the IP is if your local machine running QBT. I thought I'd read you already did that though so I'm a bit confused.

    ...I think I have heard of ISPs that block incoming connections by default though now that you mention it so maybe that is what you're referring to? It sounds like you may know more about this than I.

    If your computer is reachable on the correct port Port checker detects my port as closed. Since your VPN doesn't allow port forwarding, your port is also detected as closed by online tools?

    As for public/white/static IP vs dynamic(default) IP, I know I can call my ISP and tell "give me static IP", they will answer "ok, give us some more money", and I will be able to do port forwarding and probably my uploads will increase significantly, because now I can connect to anyone and everyone can connect to me. Maybe real problem is not in static/dynamic IP, but problem is CGNAT which is reality only for dynamic IP's. Or maybe CGNAT is in effect only for IPv4, but not for IPv6.

    Looks like there's no simple answer, one have to understand network technologies. Currently I don't understand them. I will try to dig into IPv6 a little bit more.

    Oh wow I didn't know ABB had a Lemmy community. I recently started using it myself. I don't know everything but here is what I do know:

    • If your computer is reachable on the correct port, you have done everything right for maximizing uploads.
    • Doing so is not entirely necessary because not having that set up correctly at worst means that other users without the QBT port being publicly accessible cannot download from you. I don't know what percentage of users that affects, but I'm on a private tracker also and they claim the percentage is 30% in that community. Not the end of the world.
    • Not certain what you mean about not having a public IP. My understanding is you cannot use the Internet without one. The only question here is if your computer seeding torrents can be reached at it. You mentioned setting up port forwarding on your router. If that was done correctly then you are publicly accessible that way via that port. I know there are tests for this online. You could probably search for "torrent direct connection test" and find one.
    • It doesn't matter at all that your IP is dynamic.
    • I recently also started seeding torrents intentionally. I don't see a lot of uploading either. I had similar questions to you also but other users assured me of the previous things I've written here regarding how this works. I am paranoid about ISP issues or law enforcement so I only allow qbittorrent a connection via my vpn. My VPN does not allow port forwarding, so I'm also limited slightly in that others in the same boat cannot download from me, since my QBT port is not reachable from public.
    • It may not feel like we are doing much when you look at how much is uploaded, but I think that's largely a function of there being lots of seeders out there. Every little bit helps! I've seen my total uploads grow a lot over the past few weeks, but yeah it's not huge still.

    Hope any of this helps!

    Most anime is really bad ngl. It is a crime to demand money for it.

    • 5m monolouges in the middle of a fight of ppl who supposedly hate each other.
    • 2m battle stretched over 3 episodes.
    • half episode flasback to childhood in the middle of someone striking his enemy.
    • the flashback has been shown twice before in prior episodes.
    • after episode with start of fight and flashback, next episode starts with completely different characters and ends with previously shown snippet of start of fight for a cliffhanger.
    • everyone explains obvious or irrelevant things all the time, even in mid battle.
    • except: when vital information should be shared, suddenly nobody wants to talk any more, so the plot can be based on them not having that info or not getting along.
    • everything and everyone stops and starts to talk about their feelings when actually in a hurry.
    • extensive boring stills, so it's barely watchable even on 4x speed.
    • every character of a group has to be shown individually agreeing after a decision is made.
    • main character has a super cringy catchphrase like *snaps fingers* stay safe and have fun.

    I have spent money on anime physical media before, but few are worth. I'd say most Ghost in the Shell stuff is good and worth, for example, but not all of it. Of course, it's also a bit a matter of taste.

    I would never give money to crunchyroll or netflix, so i cant possibly be stealing from them no matter what type of show/content/feature they try to sell on their platform.
