Im getting back to dowloading Linux distros for the first time in over a decade...man have the times changed. I'm running qBittorrent with all the major repos including Jackett...but everything is downloading <10KiB/s?! Surely something is wrong, any ideas?

Edit: I am using a paid VPN

There really isnt a good reason to limit upload unless you have other devices that need the upload capacity on your Internet connection. It's best to leave it uncapped. Limiting upload doesn't prevent ISP or Copyright holders from viewing your IP. Torrent clients will do this automatically if left un capped but you want it to be about 70-80% of your max real upload speed.

You found the solution! I upped the upload to an arbitrarily high number and everything is working as I intended, thank you
