I am sharing about 25 albums on soulseek but my uploads are empty which as far as I know means nobody has tried to download anything from me. I don't have port-forwarding available to me, I use a VPN, and I am periodically offline. Is it really weird that nobody has downloaded anything from me or is that kind of normal?

I have Port Forwarding and have had exactly 1 Upload in the year since I’ve started using it. I guess if you don’t have fast internet, popular music is usually gonna be offered by people with better internet so there’s no reason to download from you, while niche music isn’t gonna be downloaded much because it’s niche.
