Trying to download a torrent causes the entire VPN connection to slow down.
It seems you're questioning whether your VPN setup might be affecting your internet speed, possibly due to certain restrictions or monitoring. Some providers could slow down connections if they detect torrenting, especially if you're using specific operating systems like Ubuntu or Linux Mint. I'm not suggesting you're breaking the law, but it's worth noting that ISPs might limit speeds for activities they deem suspicious. I don't have detailed knowledge of network-level VPN services, as I primarily use per-device solutions.
I've worked with this company for years and had no experience with speed limits. I'm using a "no logs" VPN and just changed my ISP recently, but the hardware remains unchanged. As mentioned, with the Windows client and without the PFSSense VPN, I get nearly full speed. When using the VPN for regular downloads, it also functions well. It's only during torrent-related activities over the VPN that performance drops significantly. Normal downloads or live streams without a VPN aren't impacted.
The memory and CPU usage during this situation are noticeable. Deluge attempts to establish multiple Torrent connections simultaneously. This behavior also occurs with other BT clients.
Almost nothing. CPU runs at 5-10% and memory isn’t much better. I even used a powerful machine with 2700x and 32 gigs of RAM, but nothing changed. 2. I set everything to unlimited, but with this file it’s around 60. 3. I tested three different options and they all had the same result.
What is your worldwide connection allowance? It might be useful to lower it and test if that improves things. I’m curious about the problem even when not active, though—I haven’t faced it before. I’ve had no issues but only have 60Mbit and use AirVPN.
