I’ve been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don’t seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don’t want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.
So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I’m running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?
Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).
I’ve tried a seedbox in the past and they’re neat, but I’d rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I’m using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that’s significant.
Definitely will look into Docker more, I’ve heard of it but hadn’t gotten around to giving it a shot before. Gluetun is not something I’ve heard of though. Sounds like a good setup for what I want. Any suggestions on getting started with Docker?
Use docker compose. Not docker directly. All services have a good docker compose file somewhere online. If not, you may not use the service as a beginner (unless you want to spend a significant time writing everything which is of course good, but you do not have to)
