  • I used Nord proxies when I still used uTorrent, never had issues. I’m definitely hardwired, and my isp is shit, don’t get me wrong, but the only change I can see is qBit and proxies. I tried every server they had available, and the issue just stops when I don’t use their proxies. Maybe I should try proxies from some other service, but I’m not really in a place to shop around… and I don’t know that free vpn services have proxies that you can try.

    I also say “stops every few minutes”, I should clarify, it stops and doesn’t resume. I have to close qbit and reopen.

    I don’t know enough about ovpn or wireguard to know how that would help me… Is that not a VPN/tunneling that you have to have both sides to use? So I would go to a server that has another VPN running on anyways?





  • Do you use a proxy server through the settings, or just turn on your VPN and run it while torrenting?

    I use Nord, and with the former method I was having issues. I reported it in an issue on the GitHub, and even contacted Nord for support. Now, there does seem to be a lot of down time with the regular method, but with the proxy (“better” method normally) there was times where it was exactly as you described- tons of seeds or leeches, but no connections, uploads, or downloads across the board.

    In the execution log, there was an error that’d pop up repeatedly. I can’t remember or see at the moment what that error is, something about SOCKS5, the proxy connection. But after popping 5-10 times, that’s when everything would hit zeroes. I would have to close and reopen qBittorrent to get it to start again. When I used uTorrent before, I never had these issues, so I was thinking about moving on to some other torrent application. Wanting to stay with Open Source programs kept me for now.
