No seeds or peers

Post by ADSJD »

I have been using qBittorrent for some time and it has worked flawlessly until now. Now, qBittorrent does not see any seeds or peers. I changed VPN from Express to Nord, had an update to my Windows 11, and updated qBittorrent to 4.5.4. Thinking that might have been the problem I installed 4.5.3 instead. Deluge works fine with the same torrent, finds seeds and peers, it just not as easy to work with. I have run Bitdefender and Malwarebytes for years and they are both set to allow qBittorent to do it's thing. I have checked my firewall and qBittorrent is fully authorized in both directions. qBittorrent works fine on my wife's computer. She has same Windows, same VPN. Simply said, the problem is only on my computer and only with qBittorent. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check that the network interface selected in qBittorrent (options > advanced) matches what's showing in the network and sharing centre in Windows.

I tried changing it NordLynx and the problem still existed. I reset it to Any Interface and the problem still exists.

Also, for what it is worth, this trouble seems to extend only to files that might have a copyright issue or other restriction. I use Torrent Day, IP Torrents, and 1337x primarily. Tixati, BitTorrent, Deluge work just fine at those sites, only qBittorrent does not. I was able to download a torrent with qBittorrent, with no copyright or other restrictions from a different torrent site.
