Yeah that was the very first thing I tried...
Then it's probably issue with your connection. Sometimes NAT also causes problems.
I frequently end up with magnet links stuck at "downloading metadata". If I convert the magnet link to a torrent, it works fine. It is a real annoyance about the otherwise great qbittorrent.
How many seeds are supposed to be around? You should try a 'real' torrent with the VPN...
Try torrenting on another device (like your phone) to see if the issue is your network. Also try a non qbittorent client
Whats a different client for Windows 11? I use Qbit as well, and am thinking I need to jump to something else
Op:
but even with the VPN disabled it doesn't work.
Comments:
Have you tried changing your vpn???
I had a similar problem recently on windows. Qbittorrent (version 4.5.3 ish? Don't quote me) bound to paid proton VPN. Torrents would be added automatically by sonarr, but remain "stalled" until I restarted qbittorrent with administrator permissions. It would work for a day before it stalled out again and I had to manually restart it. Happened for months. Never figured out why.
Make sure the version of your torrent client is on the tracker's whitelist
Does the user running qbittorrent have write access to the downloads directory? Any special messages in the logs?
You might also want to try running qbittorrent through docker. I use https://github.com/DyonR/docker-qbittorrentvpn. Just make sure that you set the PUID and PGUID to match a user id + group id that has r/w access to your downloads directory.
