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?

That would be normal as it depends on what albums and what formats you have. I use a VPN and I can go days without any uploads but then suddenly someone will download everything I have by one artist.
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.
Reading this thread and lots of people saying no uploads is normal. I know most of what I share is pretty niché but I upload 100s of things every day and I thought that was normal :/
does uploading work at all if you don’t have ports forwarded? i didn’t get any uploads before i finished setting up port forwarding.
besides that, i run a ~24/7 instance, share around 500 albums, but only have a few uploads per day. i think no uploads is normal, assuming people can reach you.
i used to have this problem too but as my library grew and grew (now at 60GB) I upload daily to multiple users
