You're thinking i could make a bash script that pauses all torrents and a cronjob that restarts containers with some timing built in?
Yeah. Example: if pings get flakey, or can't curl address, then restart all the things.
Doesn't need to stop torrents, just close the app, restart networking, and start it again.
I would investigate what is actually causing the connection to slow, but you can just run docker restart gluetun qbittorrent
from cron or whatever.
Make sure everything starts automatically after a reboot, and reboot daily.
