I’ve been using it for a while and had no idea it didn’t support port forwarding! I know it’s important for torrenting, but my private tracker ratios are all 2:1 or more (my record is 6:1)

I should read up on why it’s important.

The Problem with not having Port forwarding is that you can only connect to people which have port forwarding. That means If the seeds are also using no port forwarding you cannot download/upload.

Because the people in your private trackers have port forwarding enabled so a connection is still made but someone else who hasn't setup port forwarding won't be able to connect to you.
