How To Torrent Software Safely (For Dummies) (andscape.notion.site)

I wrote this post for a friend, I'm sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it'd be easier to write it down once. It's meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I'll update the post.

I can confirm that Mullvad tunnelled seeding still works even with the port forwarding changes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a quick question, have you port forwarded in Mullvad in the past?

They stopped people from opening new ports last month, September is when they will get rid of the remaining ports. If you aren't port forwarding, I will edit my initial comment!

No port forwarding ever set up on my system! It's bound to my interface and lockdown mode is enabled, all leeching and seeding is tunnelled fully.

Edit: as far as I'm aware, not being able to port forward only limits who you can seed to. Meaning you can only seed to those who do have port forwarding.

Thanks for this, changed the point in my main comment to remove the part about seeding!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

See my edit for a little additional clarity but I'm glad I could help!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you please elaborate. What does it mean? Do still able to seed with Mullvad and default settings?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can still seed without port forwarding, not being able to port forward only affects how many clients can seed from you. Not being able to port forward causes it to be limited to only other people who are able to port forward.
