If you're on qbit, did you bind your vpn to qbit?

Also your vpn might just be bad, what do you use?

Do you mind explaining or pointing to resource about binding to qbit? I use qbit and pia.

Start the VPN and connect to a location. Open qBittorrent. Go to Preferences, and then Advanced tab. Change Network interface to the VPN (usually its name, like "Mullvad"). Restart qBittorrent.

Basically when you bind it, if your vpn ever happens to turn off or leak etc its gonna stop the download/upload

Awesome, thank you.

Unless something has changed since I used it, you'll need to set PIA to wireguard only, and the adapter shows up as wg-pia. (or similar)

I did not but it was a system wide VPN.

You should always bind it directly in qb to prevent it from accidentally leaking
