Typical Slow Torrent Problem

Sorry to be that guy, but I'm having trouble with the fact that all my torrents are super slow.  The funny thing is that I both formatted my computer and moved.  The internet is great, 16mbps, and there are thousands of seeders for my torrents.  Somehow I can't speed them up.
- I made qbitorrent a firewall exception.
- I don't have a download rate limit.

I can't think of anything else.

But how many actually exist, are connectable AND have spare upload slots to connect to YOUR client?

Latest qbt is at 3.1.9. Do you use that version?

Also share your settings. I hope you have capped your upload speed, enabled utp and enabled "apply rate limiting to utp connections".
Also I hope you don't have too many connections.

Have you used other clients successfully on the same network and torrent?

install PeerBlock: www.peerblock.com

this helps to block those "bad peers" that generally affect P2P clients.

I wouldn't advice PeerBlock that quickly.

Please "Share your settings" means ALL of them.

Download limits, upload limits, max connnections, per torrent connections, upload slots, queue settings, etc. etc.
