It's crucial when the only seeder won't open their port.
My opinion: I wish qbittorrent 4.6 would release sooner, it comes with I2P support, which I've seen discussed on lemmy a few times.
It's important for rare/poorly seeded torrents, but not at all important if it's a new release movie or something like that which will be well seeded.
True but this'll only work long term if you download every new thing that you'll want to watch now or sometime down the road.
For me it’s incredibly important. If I don’t have port forwarding my status on qbit is restricted and I get like 10% of the speed I do when it’s open. This is for big torrents
4.6 is now at beta1 which is by far and large usable. I think the 4.6 branch will take some time to stablize as it is moving to the libtorrent 2.x branch (from which I2P support comes). Their most recent 2.0.9 has just fixed some I2P related bugs.
Is there an ETA or something? I am waiting on it at the moment, but I don't know their release schedule or anything
How does port forwarding work if you have multiple torrent clients on the same network, all sharing a public IP?
You put them on different ports and make multiple forwards, one for each.
Each peer can choose any port they want – to open to the swarm. You're not restricted to one particular port, so there's no need to clash with another per on your network. The defaults in the settings are merely suggestions.
