Torrents stuck at "Downloading metadata"

Post by vrt3 »

I can't download any magnet link torrents anymore (.torrent files, like the ones from the LibreOffice or Debian download pages, do still work though): they are all stuck at "Downloading metadata".

Some remarks:
  • I tried the same torrents in µTorrent on the same computer, and that works without a problem, so it doesn't seem to be a connection problem, and the torrents certainly have lots of seeders.
  • I saw a suggestion to go in the Advanced settings and set "Network interface" to "Any interface", and "Optional IP address to bind to" to "All addresses". Both were already set that way.
  • I don't know when this problem started: I don't download torrents all that frequently. I think it still worked like a month ago. I also don't know if I updated qBittorrent in the meantime (I use Chocolatey to update a lot of software semi-automatically).
Anything I can try to diagnose or even better solve the problem?
