That's a great point!

Yeah, I think I'm just delaying the inevitable. I'll call the ISP in a couple hours and maybe it will be time to look for a christmas deal with airvpn.

Yes, I checked if they were open, and the three sites say they are. I used the ones you sent me, and same results!

Some pwople say that they might be throttling my connection, and I think it is what makes more sense. I'll have a call with them to see what is happening.

Thanks for pointing out the router firewall, didn't think about it, but iy is not that either.

Other traffic is fine. That's what was screwing with me, but after reading some people say they might be fucking with my connection due to seeing it is a bittorrent connection, everything makes more sense.

I'll look into it, but I don't think this is something I would be capable of doing. Would a couple of raspberrys work?

I would really like avoiding a VPN. Money is tight rn and it's another payment at the end of the month.

The speed test looks fine. Maybe they meter it as you say. Guess I'll have to contact them so they can explain wtf is happening to my connection.

You nailed the first part. As for the second one, you'll have to be patient with me, because I'm not tech savvy and english is not my first language. Mi ISP provides a router, and through the router settings, you can port forward. Is that what you are asking?

I'm completely sure! Yesterday it was running ok all day. Today, I port forwarded and left home for a couple hours, after coming home I checked the computer and saw the low speed. The first thing I did was think about what had changed and I closed the ports. The speed went up immediately. I tested it a couple more times with different ports and the same thing happened.

I'm not using a VPN. I'm in a country that doesn't really enforce piracy laws if you are not making a profit.

Yesterday I changed my ISP to one that allows port forwarding. Today the port forwarding has been enabled by the company and I set it up on the router.

After enabling it, my download and upload speed dropped from peaks of 50 MiB/s and valleys of 4-6 MiB/s to a very stable 2 MiB/s. Nothing else has changed in my qBittorrent configuration. If I close the ports again, the speed goes back to normal. I checked if the ports were open on various websites and all of them show that they are forwarded.

I was looking forward to be able to port forward and connect with every possible peer for years, and today has been a big disappointment in that regard!

Has anyone else seen something like this and if so, can you point me to the right direction to fix the problem?
