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.

Where are you sending from? Home computer? Home computer with VPN? Seedbox? The answer will change based on which.

An easy hack might be to look at your transmission settings, find the port it uses and just copy that into qbittorrent settings.

where can I find the transmission settings?

It’s a home PC with no VPN

Is that qBittorrent? If you meant transmission as in the torrenting software, I’ve never used it. Before switching to qBit I was using aria2 😅.

Btw, thanks to all of you, the problem appears to be resolved. Its a matter of tracker requesting seeds now.
