I’ll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well… I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.

Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you’re one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!

    Nope, it is the same. Bittorrent have a lot more users than eMule and then you have more possibilities to find a peer with ports forwarded. 2 peers Without port forwarded can not share content.

      I have ports forwarded locally to deal with my router, that doesn’t apply to my ISP down the line. And that’s the problem. I don’t know the specifics, but that’s how it was explained to me.
