Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

On private trackers thats pretty typical in my experience, if you're getting that on public trackers and you see there are peers then you might not have port forwarding set up correctly.
Trying to correctly configure port forwarding can be difficult though...
Use a VPN with port forwarding. Every one I've ever used let me forward a static port, assigned from the account section of the VPN website, which I then entered into Qbit along with setting QBit's network interface to the VPN so that everything stops if the VPN goes down.
Im thinking most people's issues arise from using something like NordVPN or Mullvad which don't offer port forwarding.
