I’ve been using mobile internet for last few years and whenever i would try to seed it’d be like 0.2 kb/s at best. I know that it’s due to my dynamic IP (or whatever it’s called) and i have closed ports.

Then i saw some people say that opening your ports makes your connection better/faster because you’re able to connect not only to people with open ports, but closed ones aswell. Does it make sense download-speed-wise? Because how could i take traffic from someone who’s unable to seed due to closed ports?

    Yeah good point. Even when they offered port forwards, they would only do it with the once off payment accounts. If you set up a payment method against your account ID to be used each month then you couldn’t do port forward because the port number shown on the tracker could be linked to your card which could be linked to you.
