qBittorrent stuck at checking metadata, 0 upload and donload speed.

Post by IAmADoctor »

Essentially what the title says. I am new to torrenting but had it up and running yesterday.... I use nordvpn and was getting magnet links off the pirate bay but instead of confirming the files I want to download, it stays at "Downloading metadata". If I hit ok it proceeds but still says Downloading Metadata. I tried using actual torrent files, with the downloads being locked at 0%. Also, at the bottom it says upload and download speed, and both mine are always at 0 b/second. I've tried changing the location on my vpn, restarting, reverting to an older version, uninstalling, reinstalling, making sure the firewall is not blocking it ect, but have had no success. I am very frustrated as it was working fine less tan 48 hours ago, and seemingly nothing changed. Just to make absolute sure it wasn't an issue with a low number of seeders, I attempted to load a magnet link with 400+ seeders, to no avail. Please forgive my lack of understanding, was hoping someone here might know what to do.

Hi,

with the VPN activated, is the setting of QBT configured to use the right network card? Usually a NIC named TUNxxx
To check in QBT>preferences
