One account, multiple IPs - allowed or not?

[joujoujou]

Hello.

Struggling to find anything related in FAQ/Rules/etc.

Having 2 different ISPs I am considering setting up my home network to route bittorrent related traffic exclusively through one WAN and all the rest through another WAN. Doing so tracker would log totally different IP than the one noted by forums software.

Seeing VPNs being recommended for permanently firewalled users I guess situation I mentioned would more than likely be allowed, but, as always, better to ask first.

Thank you.

It's allowed.

The forum web server has no IP limit, only a hard limit for max connections. It's high enough such that normal forum use won't cause issues.

I believe the max on the tracker is currently two IPs. It's mainly intended to allow a seedbox to work ok with a member also having a home IP. Trackers have this limit in their code for sites that enforce ratio to discourage ratio cheating. Ratio has been found to have little effect on seeding behavior (the reasons are complex), so there's no ratio enforcement here.

Some smart automation is what's needed to get more folks seeding (scroll to bottom and read Jace's comment):
Option to seed if there are very few or no seeders.:

Thank you very much for clarification. That's great news.

Things done and working even better than expected.
