Hi guys ... I've got a kind of technical question.
Background : I've got a 'modest' fiber connection ... and the respective router ports are open (for sure) ... so I guess that I am 'connectable'. On the other hand, my client is Ktorrent. I am reasonably happy with both of them (the fiber connection and the torrent client).
Well, the specific case : I am seeding ONE torrent ... together with, let's say 20 more seeders. During hours NO leechers ... that's normal ... but, at an specific moment, I reload the tracker website and ONE leecher appears. I check Ktorrent and it's NOT uploading anything. Then I right-click to 'manual annouce' ... and then it STARTS uploading (sadly many times when the leecher is almost 'completed' ... so I don't get much upload).
The question : Is that 'normal'? Shouldn't it have to be automatic? ... without me having to regularly paying attention at the tracker website and to 'manual announce' myself?
Obviously ... what I would like to happen is that AS SOON AS a 'leecher' appears ... to start uploading '''my part''' ...
Am I very wrong? ... maybe too ambitious?
Thank you very much !!!!!!!
Ps.- I forgot to mention, and it MIGHT be important ... that, what I usually seed is placed at an external USB3 HDD (I assign both 'usb-storage' and 'jbd2/sbd*' tasks a high-priority) ...
Edit: Actually I am seeding about two hundred torrents (6 TiB) scattered at two external USB3 HDDs. On the other hand, frecuently Ktorrent seems to upload regularly without me intervening, but ... as described before, if I pay attention, it sometimes seems to be working in a 'sub-optimal' way. I don't really know whether I might need to adjust a couple of parameters ... I am a bit lost ...
