Download blocked on Raspberry pi os, need suggestions to check

I've received my pi 5 and installed raspberry pi os bookworm, and of course my go to torrent client qbittorrent.

Torrents don't seem to be working, even the standard Ubuntu torrent. All the trackers say not working or timed out. No peers found.

Seems like some kind of firewall blocking

- Pi has internet, (browser works)
- ufw doesn't seem to be pre-installed with pios

What should I check?


Thanks in advance on any suggestions to check

Qbittorrent version 4.5.2-3+deb12u1

Simply open the port by hand on your router; assign an IP via static DHCP; set the same port on the rpi in qBittorrent... and let 'er rip!

Unfortunately I tried this and it didn't work.

It's like it's not able to get it to the tracker to announce

Try switching your DNS to Quad9/Google DNS, etc.

Did you solve the issue?
If not, what happens if you close and then start the client again?
