Under Autobrr, what do you mean by "Grabs all torrents from my username"?
I auto-upload to trackers that allow it. Instead of having the torrent already in qBit, I have autobrr send it to qbit with a special filter that checks for my username on the trackers I upload to.
I do this because If I grab the torrent at the same time as all the leechers then there's no delay for the leechers to start downloading meaning they don't have to re-poll the tracker as much to find me (the seeder)
This also works better for if you're not a pre-approved uploader (someone who doesn't need moderator approval to upload). That way once your torrent is approved I can start seeding right away.
Ah I see now! I wouldn't have thought to use it this way, but that makes a lot of sense.
I'm guessing it grabs from private tracker
So they grab their own uploads via autobrr? To what end?
