It's non issue, even with +80 gb files.

The size of the file doesn't matter. Without port forwarding you won't be able to use things like private trackers without running the risk of getting banned. There's no reason to use a VPN without it if your goal is torrenting.

I haven't got any private trackers and I want a cheap setup. The only thing I'm paying for is the vpn.

Is the difference really that big and worth it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I use AirVPN and it's cheap with port forwarding. Without it, trackers will show you as unconnectable and nobody will be able to download from you unless they've set up port forwarding.

Thanks, I'll take a look once mine expires.
