Ratio (percentage) of IPv4 vs IPv6 peers in your torrents ?

Recommended Posts

Posted ... (edited)

I have recently been able to add IPv6 to my LAN (but ULA only to avoid IPv6 leaks) and add a port forward in my OpenWrt router that acts as a Wireguard client for a Windows qBittorrent client in my Ethernet LAN. Everything seems to work fine and I've been able to reach the "Top User Speed" a few times while seeding to around 800 peers.
But the one thing that annoys me is that IPv6 traffic appears way too low compared to IPv4, usually between 5 to 10 % (90 % or more for IPv4).

I have tried some online speed tests that can do both IPv4 and IPv6 and I saw no huge difference between the two. Then I tried to select IPv6 only in qBittorrent and restarted it. After a few minutes, I got only 80 peers (instead of 800; look at the graph). The AirVPN, forwarded ports, test open, confirms that both IPv4 and IPv6 port I selected for torrents are "Open!".

I can't believe that only 5% of torrent users have IPv6 so there must be a problem in my installation.
For those who use a computer as a seed-box with both IPv4 and IPv6, how many peers do you see connected in IPv6 (compared to IPv4) ?
