Sometimes, when I try to torrent using qBittorrent or Transmission, the search for metadata appears to take forever. What could be causing this issue?

    Go to the connection settings and copy the “Port used for incoming connections”. Paste it into a service like: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

    If your port isn’t “open”, that’s your issue. You need to configure port-forwarding in your router or VPN client.
