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 a very similar problem. I found that the torrent just didn’t have many peers or seeds I could connect to!
When I searched for “good test torrents “ I got links to Linux isos that actually worked just fine through my vpn!
