Aria2c works, but Qbittorrent is fucked (lemmy.ml)

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...

Holy, I probably shouldn't necropost, but it turns out it was because I set my LAN IP address to the lo network interface. Basically, Qbittorrent was listening only on localhost. I run a complex intranet setup, so I just gave myself an extra IPv4 on the network bound to my physical Ethernet port and made qbittorrent use that and all is well now.

I was the network admin who blocked torrenting 🤣

Get a VPN with port forwarding. Problem solved.

Is my VPS provider going to nuke me if I dare use my VPS as my VPN, though? Ionos, if it's relevant...

That probably depends on your VPS provider. Some providers have bandwidth or application limits. Hetzner for example doesn't allow people to host or forward traffic from media (Plex, Jellyfin) servers (iirc). You'll just have to log in to your dashboard or browse their rules for that info.

Mostly unrelated to your question and post but you could also deploy Pangolin on your VPS and hole-punch through your CGNAT using one of their Newt tunnels. This is what I do to forward my Plex server to my friends and family outside my home, among other things.
