ANSWERED Poor torrenting connection

[Grape Jewce 4]

Info you should know:

Using Eddie-UI on Windows. ISP Bandwidth: 240/24 Mbps

 

I was testing the VPN today and I tried researching so many things, but all I get is poor performance (many servers from many countries with multiple protocols tested) when downloading torrents. Torrents go slow (200KBps or 1.6 Mbps) and if I download more than 3 at the same time they completely stop. I noticed poor connectivity between peers (it only connects to a few peers while there are thousands available), which I think it's the problem but I just don't know what's causing it.

I've already tried port forwarding (Foward ports on the website and match them with the torrent client). I tried TCP, UDP, SSH and SSL. All give the same problem.

On speedtest I get 150-170 Mbps download.

 

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a specific configuration I should know? Confirm with me configurations I should've set including on my router, computer and on Eddie itself.

 

Notes: 

- When torrenting without the VPN, speeds go perfectly fine.

- The problem has nothing to do with the torrent itself, trackers or peers (due to note above).

- Not CPU Throttle, I've been monitoring the CPU usage.

 

Ask me more if you're willing to help.

 

Thanks.

have you tried different torrent clients?

Make sure the same ports are open in the router (specifically to your internal IP address too)

Absolutely not.  That would defeat the purpose of using the VPN.

I have no idea how I didn't find this before: https://airvpn.org/faq/p2p/

 

The important points / What solved it:

 

- "Disable UPnP, NAT-PMP and any possible automatic port mapping feature..."

- Disable bandwidth managements like uTP on uTorrent and other BitTorrent based clients.

 

I did both modifications on uTorrent and qBittorrent. uTorrent kept giving the same issues, but, on the other hand, qBittorrent gave the perfect results I was looking for.
