They’re behind NAT / firewall / blocked ports
A peer can be “real” but unreachable:
their ISP blocks incoming connections
they’re behind a strict NAT
their client isn’t accepting connections
their port is closed
Result: your client knows they exist, but can’t actually exchange data with them.
They’re seedboxes or peers that refuse you
Some peers run configurations that:
only connect to certain regions
only connect to private peers
limit upload slots heavily
block certain clients
So you see them, but they never upload to you.

yeah. that's my problem.
"wait, wait. is that barba trying to download this? fuck him. block his fuckin' ass." they're the same guys that used to say "it doesn't work? that's because you don't have the right codec."
