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...

In qBittorrent what is the Status of DHT, PeX, LSD when you click on the torrent and click its Trackers tab?

I’m on CGNAT

Your own torrent peer is not and cannot be connectable (port forwarded), unfortunately.

Not sure if you'll be able to get much improvement, it'll always be slow or impossible depending on the amount of connectable peers in the torrent swarm. But you should be seeing okay-ish speeds if the torrent you're trying to download has tons of connectable peers. Does the torrent you're downloading have a lot of seeds/leeches on it?

PS - If you're saying everything usually works fine then something changed, could try restarting your internet router just to rule that out.

Update: I was somehow able to torrent a different one with aria2c, and it went at full speed, so I'm very sure that I'm NOT being blocked by my ISP...

I feel like a linux ISO swarm would have quite a lot of fully connectable peers.
