    no idea on the mismatch, even when assuming bits vs bytes thats a big difference, the encryption overhead im seeing is around 5-10% max, so its pretty low and not what you are seeing.

     

    just some other things you can try, take a look at Q6 regards tweaks to improve dl/ul speeds:- https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/vpn.md

    Thanks! I'm gonna look into my vpn config next and try some of the things you recommended. It's in a much more usable state than it was when I started so I'm happy.

    nope that is not necessary, so def dont do that, does qbittorrent give you a hint as to the issue?, i see they are in an 'errored' state, expand/click on it and see if it gives you a hint as to the issue.

     

    btw port forwarding all looks good to me, you could also rule out permissions issues here by temporarily setting the incomplete location to /tmp, this will then write downloads to fs inside the container, if it improved things then you know the issue is related to the volume bind for /data (permissions or filesystem issues).

     

     

    The errored state seems to have been an unrelated issue. I restarted the container and then restarted those torrents and they were able to download without issue. Moving them all into the container at /tmp didn't make a difference except maybe with transfer speed because of the kind of drive it was using. I moved everything back to where it was and I am getting good download speeds.

     

    I'm not sure which change made the difference, but the completed torrent that I am seeding is now uploading very slowly, less than 50 KiB/s. The other two still show zero.

     

    I can check my router's bandwidth monitor to this device. When the torrents are paused there is zero activity in either direction. When they resume the bandwidth monitor reports about 10-100x the transmission in both directions than the torrent client does. 5-10 Mb/s upload instead of 50 KiB/s. 300 Mb/s download instead of 30 Mib/s. This seems like a whole lot for protocol or encryption overhead. Any idea why this might be?

    ok so port forwarding is not your issue here, as you are using pia and its scripted to do it all for you, ensure that the 'VPN incoming port is XXXX' matches the port shown in the web ui for qbittorrent, if that looks ok (which i expect it will) then just verify that your incomplete and completed folders are also set correctly, screenshot would confirm this.

    I think this is everything you've asked for. There's a screenshot that verifies the ports matching, one that confirms the directory structure, and the logs from the most recent run of qBittorrent. In all cases torrents were anonymized with inspect element/manually editing output.

     

    Do I need to do anything with port forwarding in my home router settings? Or is that all managed by PIA?

  4. Hi folks!

     

    First I wanna thank binhex for these incredible images. I'm already making good use of the plex image and doing my best to get this qbittorrent image to work alright.

     

    The issue I'm having is zero upload speed. 99% of the time my upload speed is 0 B/s. I have seen it jump up to somewhere in the double digit KiB/s range before quickly dropping back down. My download speeds aren't great either.

     

    I have a feeling this is some kind of port forwarding issue. I've tried torrents from different sources with different trackers and I have the same problem every time. I've been poring over google searches and spending a lot of time in this topic already and I can't seem to figure it out.

     

    Can anyone point me to a resource to start eliminating possible issues, or take me through trying to diagnose this?

     

    Thanks!
