Providing a lot more information would be helpful, as is learning how torrents work BEFORE you start downloading things. But, with the very limited amount of information you've given, try right clicking on the torrent in qbt and selecting "open destination folder" that's where your files s...

If you are not willing to seed, don't use torrents. As cmatt said, if you are concerned about this happening in the future, use a VPN.

Well, there is your answer. Your ports are not forwarded properly.

A seed is someone who has 100% of the file. A peer is someone who does not (yet) have 100% of the file. If you see something like 4(8) that means you are connected to 4 of the available 8 computers, either as a seed or a peer. If there are 0(0) seeds, it's very doubtful you'll be able to get 100% of...

Torrents work because people are giving back what the have taken. If people just grabbed what they wanted, and then stop the torrent, that torrent would die, and not be available for the next person. Your ratio is what percentage you have given back to others of what you have taken. For example, if ...

Wonderful, thanks for the update!

Yes. BitTorrent works (all clients) by creating a direct connection between your IP address to someone else's IP address. Is this bad? Well, that's up to you. If it's a concern, use a seedbox.

Thanks Peter, I'll stay right here!

I've noticed some torrents show "last activity" when there hasn't been any activity. I'm just curious, what is happening that makes the client thing the torrent has been active, when there clearly hasn't been, such as I am the only seed, but no new peers have come along. Thanks for reading...

Thank you for the reply. I am at least glad to know it's a bug, not an an option I'm simply missing!

What are the errors? It's exceptionally unlikely that the program is at fault in this case, more likely something with the disc you are attempting to move to.

Hello yet again! Sorry for all the questions, I used utorrent for more than a decade, and I have gotten picky about how things are set up! I noticed some posts on this subject from back in 2018, but nothing in the last two years, so, maybe this is intentional, or so inconsequential to most that it's...

Thank you for the reply, I found it soon after I posted this, but, since I was still in moderation, was not able to close/delete it before leaving for work! This is why I shouldn't do things at 3am!

Hello ladies and gentlemen! After, well, forever I've finally decided to update from utorrent 221 to a much more modern client. I've been able to figure out most of the settings I like, but one stumps me. I'm sure this has been asked and answered, and I apologize for the repeat, but, I could not fin...
