They do, but if you can't forward a port nothing can get to you from outside, which you want with P2P, per default anything from outside is blocked.

If two people with no port forwarding meet, they aren't able to connect, one side has to have an open port, so you're missing many peers and seeders and you can counter this by being the one with the open port so anyone is able to connect to you.

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

• I had "Undetermined", "Deutsch" and "English" selected in my profile.
• I was able to set the comment to "Undetermined", but then still not able to set it to "Deutsch" (back to "English", worked though)
• Changing the word "homie" didn't make a difference
• Other comments set to "Undetermined" were able to switch to "Deutsch"
• Other comments set to "English" (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to "Deutsch"

Seems like it's a problem with this comment in particular, but I can't figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to "Deutsch", written in german, that can't be changed no matter what.

Update for anyone interested - I put four obscure torrent files into Real Debrib that had been sitting in QBT for months, not downloadable.

Three out of the four downloaded within a couple of hours

I'm fuckin impressed

When I say obscure, I mean a minor British sitcom from the 90s, a french comedy from 1987, and a video of a live Muse gig from ten years ago. All downloaded

Now, the only one left is the episode of Pointless Celebrities with Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton

I'll be impressed if it can find that

It's a paid service, but it's only about €30 a year

This is the way. qBittorrent even has an interface option. You can set that to your VPN and it's basically a killswitch. I've still got mullvads killswitch option enabled on top of it tho. It just cuts your internet connection, if you ever drop the connection to their servers.
