I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint, but even with the VPN disabled it doesn’t work.

last time I torrented was probably 15 years ago.

EDIT: i managed to get it working. As expected it was a Qbit config issue. First issue was a port forwarding issue. second one was the interface i connected it to. Apparently the interface named something with “vpn” is not the correct one to bind Qbit to, its a dummy created by the VPN that doesn’t work. I had to select one named “tun0”. If i just selected the regular physical interface I had IP leaks with the VPN enabled.

    No I’m using the paid tier of proton, and already using quad9 DNS and have DNS over https enabled.

      In the bottom center of the Qbit app does the icon show as red, yellow, or green? This displays whether you are connectable or not. I’d bet it’s a port issue. If Proton offers port forwarding, find the port they assigned you and input it into the “incoming connections” port in the Qbit settings.
