Greetings to all! I’m new to qBittorrent. I’ve used it for about a month now and I am doing the best that I can. I seed a lot of Linux distributions when I’m browsing or just using the computer. When seeding in qBittorrent is there any way to find out how many total uploads were uploaded for a particular Linux ISO from my computer? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure this is what you are talking about but when I want to see how much I have shared for a specific torrent, I just click on the torrent name, then click General tab and look for Share Ratio in the info on the left about midways. If you see a Share Ratio of 1.00, that means you have uploaded one copy of the file. Technically anyway. Thing is, if others are sharing as well, you could have shared the same 25% chunk 4 times to 4 different people and still get a share ratio of 1.00. You could also share half the file with two people and still add up to a Share Ratio of 1.00. I don't think it tracks who gets how much exactly. You can see it under the Peers tab while a person is either downloading or uploading tho. Once disconnected, I think it is gone. I think it resets each time a person connects to. I'm not real sure on that. I don't watch it that close.
If you want to see the Share Ration faster, you can right click on the column where name, size etc is and turn on share ratio. It should show in the columns until you turn it off.
Since you may be new to torrenting, little info. Linux stuff is most likely not a copyright problem. Some files can be tho. If all you do is Linux files, then you should be OK. If you do other files, use a VPN. Also, I have fiber internet which is quite fast. I can browse the net and not even know QB is running despite it uploading/downloading at a rate of 40 to 50MBs/sec and sometimes more. If you have a slower connection tho, it may be best to share when you are not using the computer. That way you are not competing with the torrent sharing data. Also, I've noticed that when I first tell QB to resume, it can take a while for the torrents I have available or are looking for to make their way to a person looking for what I have or has what I'm looking for. I've found that running QB for long periods of time allows availability, to or from, to be found and start working. Running in short intervals isn't ideal from my experience.
Hope that helps.
