Can't download anything when using proxy

Hi folks – I use NordVPN with qBittorent, and have been advised by them to use the proxy facility in qB. I followed their instructions meticulously, and have selected the same server in the NordVPN app, but clicking on any torrent or magnet link ends up waiting forever, but no download to select.

Am I doing something stupid (probably)?

Thanks :D

Ah... seems to have started working now, although the "torrent detection" box takes a looooong time to populate.

I was originally trying to use the test torrent on https://ipleak.net/ - it definitely doesn't work, even if you wait for say ½ an hour...

Probably best just to ignore me ::)
