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.
I had this issue before and changing my port settings resolved it.
I tried switching to another port, still with the VPN disabled, but that didnt work so i switched back to the port i was using before and then it worked 🤷♂️
It still stops working when i enable the VPN though
