adding it works fine, i'm not seeding or downloading anything at the moment, so nothing should interfere, my windows is mostly lobotomized (but nothing inhibiting network/connections) so theres not much happening in the background and i'm using all default qbittorrent settings. the torrent itself has >200 seeders, and similarly sourced but smaller files (<5gb) download just fine.
when i first added the torrent a few days ago, for a few minutes the download was as expected, at about 20mbit/s, but the speed dropped down drastically, and no matter how much i restart, reboot, downgrade (4.1.9.1 and 4.2.1) the speed seems stuck at ~400kbit/s
heres the information im supposed to give according to github:
connection speed: 45-60mbis/s as measured by speedtest . net
qbit version: 4.6.2
windows version: 10 Home, Version 22H2
Settings info:
libtorrent version: 1.2.19.0, no proxy or vpn, 288 DHT nodes, no direct connections (no idea what this means or what i should change)
other:
im downloading the file to a portable samsung ssd connected via usb, as i dont have enough space on my machine
this is a fresh install, with no prior DLs and one 1.5gb file seeding, no other tasks are running while qbittorrent is open
the disk usage of the ssd never exceeds 10%
i tried different libtorrent settings:
changing the async i/o threads to 4 * my physical threads (or something like that honestly i dont really understand it)
increasing the disk cache (-1, 52mb, 128mb, 1024mb)
enabling/disabling os cache for io read/write
changing the connection speed limits
none of that changed anything
and yknow im not really looking for a solution, the file is gonna download eventually, but i don't understand why when downloading the arch linux iso torrent for example, the speeds reach 10mbit/s. thats infuriating, so id be grateful for any further assistance, or an explanation
