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 frequently end up with magnet links stuck at “downloading metadata”. If I convert the magnet link to a torrent, it works fine. It is a real annoyance about the otherwise great qbittorrent.
