why does my VPN connection turn to shit when I have uTorrent downloading? as soon as I close the program, everything works fine. when I'm downloading a torrent, all speeds (including the torrent speed) drop to ~5kbps.
>>
OK, looks like uTorrent is shit, so I'm gonna try qBittorrent
>>
>>55036883
Your VPN could be throttling torrenting.
>>
>>55037020
I thought that at first, so I tried different connections throughout the U.S. and europe - same result

Oh anon...
>>
Utorrent fucks with my connections when it isn't downloading or seeding anything, just by having it on it still fucks with something
>>

i installed qBittorrent & forced it to use my TAP adapter. everything downloaded fine, so uTorrent is confirmed as shit.

>>55037124
what?
>>
>>55037141
So you're incompetent.
>>
>>55037124
Not OP, but what exactly is wrong with qBitorrent and what would be a better replacement?
>>
>>55037167
Probably some open source portable piece of shit that only works in text
>>
>>55037167
>what's wrong with STALLEDtorrent?
The fact it can't connect for shit.
I've never seen a qBittorrent user who could seed for anything.
>>
>>55037208
Too lazy for that considering i don't torrent on a regular basis like i use to.
>>
Because BitTorrent and any P2P software works by connecting to several clients at the same time. That creates congestion on any network.
>>
>>55037105
>different connections
It isn't the connection, it is the protocol. Torrenting shows up differently than surfing the web which shows up different than email, etc.
>>
>>55037233
i always just attributed that to lack of seeds. any suggestions on a client that at least has a GUI?
>>
>>55037167
just use deluge playa. open source, available on all platforms, iirc the only reason to use any other client is if you have like a metric fuckton of torrents then i've heard transmission is better
>>
>>55037167
OP here. use qBittorrent. seriously.
my downloads are working fine, and i just verified that it's using my VPN connection.

>>55037260
no, i mean my VPN allows me to pick connections in different countries.

>>55037286
i used to use deluge - that's good shit too. i can't remember if it allows you to force the traffic over a specific adapter, though.
>>
>>55037306
>>55037286
I'll give it a try. thanks

How can I transfer 900+ utorrent downloads to a new program easily?
>>
uTorrent is a meme compared to Tixati
