@Pi77Bull Thank you very much, we will investigate the problem. At least the units are fine. Note that you didn't need firewalld installation, so you can safely uninstall it if you wish so. You didn't need to remove ufw.service in the "Requires" line as well, it is ignored if missing. The main problem (which does not occur in Debian) now is in Bluetit itself, which waits forever for a network connection that's already available. We are investigating and we will keep you posted! Kind regards

Hello ! 1) Functional port forwarding is necessary for torrents to work properly. Many users don't have it set up correctly, meaning if you also don't have it set up correctly you won't be able to connect to them... leaving only the overloaded connectable ones. 1a) To do so, first FIND a free port here in the Forwarding section: https://airvpn.org/ports/ 1b) Then use that port in your client - in qBitTorrent - Tools -> Options -> Connection - Set PORT, and make sure you uncheck Use UPnP !!!! (not used for VPN!) and uncheck Use different ports... you want to keep the same port all the time! 2) Speed depends on what are you torrenting - In general any "public" stuff is going to be slow or very slow. Some specialized private trackers however have users with high-speed connections, dedicated seedboxes (servers) and such, and they are interested in ever-increasing that precious ratio so they are not going to throttle their speed. If you get only 100kbps on some random TPB torrent, don't complain about VPN, it's not going to help 3) Make sure Encryption is enabled in your client, even if VPN itself encrypts. If you don't have encryption enabled, it might be that your peers are being throttled, even if you're not ! Remember, this is a 'group dance', it's not just about your speed and your internet. 4) Simply pick another server ! You might have chosen one which is closer to you, but perhaps your PEERS are somewhere else. Generally choosing a server in West Europe ( Netherlands, Germany, UK ) will result in the best speeds for torrents. 5) Have a fast computer ! I've seen so many times that people complain about torrent speeds on a slow laptop with an extremely fragmented harddisk. You're giving that poor computer so much work it can't handle. Use tools like Ccleaner to cleanup garbage files and Defraggler to keep it defragmented (skip this part for SSD's, but cleaning up files is still good !) My torrent machine is a modern Quad-Core Intel overclocked @ 4Ghz with a Raid0 array of 2 HDD's as the "dump" (where things download). It can easily take 1gbps of speed (not available at my current location due to ISP limitations, but I had 1gbps internet before). Never had any problems with it not able to maintain a speed, even for huge tens-of-gigabytes torrents. Hope these help Yarr matey !
