I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community's megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I'm having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I'm on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says "there is a configuration issue". The DHT number is non zero, and I'm currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I've search online but haven't been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I'm ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

Shouldn’t DHT be off if you’re seeding on a private tracker? I don’t use private trackers, but I remember seeing instructions for that

It's off on private tracker

I dont know how to fix that issue, but ones you get that figured out, i can recomend you setup search engines in qbit, as that is one of the best features, becouse then you dont have to go on 5 websites to find the movie you are looking for

you mean Jackett? Yeah, I've already figured that one out.

There are lots, its a build in feature so you just press search and then you search, and it shows a long list

Thanks, but I already came across this: https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Unofficial-search-plugins.

My issue is with seeding. I'm able to download at full bandwidth.

EDIT: There are lot of guides/tutorial online which lead nowhere. I came across the forum but I'm not sure my queries will be helped in time.
