So a file I was needing is showing as 9 seeds, 5 peers, but its stalled.

Why is that? And what does it mean for me other than I can’t grab it. Is there something I can do on my end, or is it on the other side of things?

I’ve just cut the cord, so if these questions are basic, I apologize, I am just now learning a lot of this stuff

    Nah the website displayed “seed/leech” numbers can be outdated or fudged (1337x is notorious for this) but the number you see in Qbit will be accurate, however those 9 seeds you see are either people without the complete file or people who aren’t port forwarding because “you don’t need port forwarding for torrents” and you can’t connect to them.
