Hi there, I'm still a bit new to downloading .iso's, but think i've got the gist of it. I've been following the Trash guides along the way. However one thing that I don't understand is why Im getting such varied download speeds for the .iso's im downloading. Some of them will download at KiB speed others will be downloading at mbs speed. As far as I know, I can not download any faster than whatever the speed its being uploaded, correct?
Is there anything I can do to improve these speeds? I have 1000mbs/50mbps from ISP. I've also setup qbitorrent to sit behind gluetun+openvpn connection from ProtonVPN. Other than that there are some config changes which have been done according to TrashGuides recommendations.
Thanks for any suggestions! 🏴☠️
Make sure that port forwarding is actually working - on ProtonVPN the port allocated to you can change regularly and QBittorent's settings need to be updated accordingly. Easiest way to check is to click through your active torrents and check if any peer has the
I(incoming) flag.If you have not set up something like this, port forwarding is probably not working: https://github.com/mjmeli/qbittorrent-port-forward-gluetun-server
I would personally just run the plain script as a cronjob on the host though, to not rely on some random docker image.
Thank you, I believe I did do this but will definitely double check 👍
