I have a router I’m running nord vpn but I use bitTorrent on windows and I’m looking to switch. Does anyone have a flavor of Linux and program they use?

Any advice would be helpful I’m getting nowhere on forums.

    Just out of curiosity, why bother running 4 instances of qBit for the various *arrs? Why not just use automatic torrent management, and have the different categories download to different folders? My *arrs are all using a single instance of qBit, and each service simply uses a different category with a different download path.

    The benefit is that I can see my total up/down speeds, ratios, etc very easily without needing to change to an entirely different instance. I can filter by category, or see everything at the same time.

      I started to become frustrated with the queue on a single qbit instance, I would set the max total of active torrents to 15; 10 active downloads and 5 seeding and it starts out fine but eventually those 10 active downloads all became stalled.

      The amount of times I have had to open qbit to just move stuff down the queue so other things could download was obnoxious so I made 3 other instances for each *arr and it’s felt easier to manage.

      Proton VPN claims to offer Port-Forwarding for their Wireguard router configs however, when I attempt to do it they don’t display the active port anywhere on their website.
