Uploads when only seeding are rare and slow
Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:31 am
Hello, I'll start by saying my setup is quite complex, so if you want, you can skip the next part where I explain it.
I have a docker qBittorrent, in portainer, so I have a macvlan and a network with just the QB's ip in the host network. All of that is sitting behind an OpenWrt router, both the router and QB have UPNP enabled (I tried port-forwarding and had even less success with uploads.)
My issue:
When I download, I get max connection speed down, and decent uploads on those active downloading torrents.
When I am seeding, the uploads are very rare, and mostly sit at most a third of my actual upload speed, and even that for less than a few minutes.
The torrents have peers, and are active, when I look at the peer list I see peers popping in for a few seconds then going away. Same thing when I force reannounce, the list fills, then after about 30 seconds, they go away.
The connection icon does not say firewalled at those times, so it's not that, and as I mentioned, sometimes uploads do stick for a while. My limits are quite high so it's not a connection limit, and I went through all the settings in the advanced menu, nothing seem to make it stick.
Anyone has any advice for this case? Had a similar experience?
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
