Hey all, decided to just throw this out there, to see if anyone has any suggestions…

I was a long time Vuze user and switched over to biglybit a while ago when the vuze project forked… I’ve had a lot of issues with it at start up, always clamoring about the port already being in use and to go follow their wiki (which, god forbid they made a clickable hotlink - or you could find typing it in) - but here’s the thing, when I run netstat from the powershell, the only thing it sees using the port in question is biglybit.

For fun, I heard a lot of good things about qbit - but damn thing refused to even sort out the hash - no matter what I did it was like it was blocked by something entirely (checked my firewall and it was white listed so it wasn’t that).

Tried Deluge (since it’s the alt branch of vuse) and no-dice there either - won’t even load cause of the port thing.

Beyond all that, I am an avid brave browser guy and I can’t open magnet links with it for the life of me - been trying to figure that out for a while (though I haven’t really dived as deep as I need to - kinda being a bit lazy if I am being honest - but I have done a few checks and nothing I found worked).

Anyone willing to step up and provide some constructive guidance here?

I need an app that lets me bind to my wireguard VPN provider.

Right now, after messing around relaunching bigbitly multiple times and ignoring the warnings, it eventually opens and works - just want to find something more fluid - really like the interface of qBit - damn shame I couldn’t get it to work…
