Hi there, I’m trying to torrent an actual Linux ISO, but it’s completely slow on aria2c and not happening at all on qbittorrent, even after downloading the qbittorrent 5.1.4 app image. I’m on CGNAT. I used to get good speeds but now it’s all come to a screeching halt.

In qbittorrent, I see the fire icon, and have connections to ~304 DHT nodes, but the fire icon is still there.

Obligatory fuck my ISP…

    I’ve never used any CLI BitTorrent apps so I’m not familiar with aria2c. That being said, I’ve had no problems with qbit on windows or Linux. Try checking your settings to use if you’re binded to your vpn, if that doesn’t work then there’s other applications like Transmission that are good. If that still doesn’t work then most “linux ISOs” have a direct download option
