Im getting back to dowloading Linux distros for the first time in over a decade...man have the times changed. I'm running qBittorrent with all the major repos including Jackett...but everything is downloading <10KiB/s?! Surely something is wrong, any ideas?

Edit: I am using a paid VPN

check with a very popular torrent

That's what prompted this post, I'm getting a very slow download of something that should be damn fast based on the numbers. The trackers are working too, they're just not pumping out the data.

then you need to provide more info:

  • torrent name
  • vpn provider
  • opened ports, how did you check
  • linux or windows
  • general pc specs
  • client settings and version
