hey all, so trying out qbittorrent w/i2p and been messing around with settings and just can’t get it to perform nearly as fast as i2psnark. I roughly followed the guide found here and it does work, just slow.

Linux isos dl fine enough, i’m not getting errors, but it’s consistently going at maybe half to a third of the speed i can get with i2psnark with the same file.

I’m also noticing spikes in speed of qbittorrent then it goes down, which isn’t something it would do when downloading iso’s from the clearnet, so i thought maybe it was a cache issue. Fiddled with it a bit and it did smooth out, but it’s still super slow compared to i2psnark.

I enabled the sam bridge and connecting through port 7657, and kept the same settings w/i2p snark for the tunnel, 3 hops and 10 tunnels in/out. both qbittorrent are pulling from the same drive when testing out. They’re both going through the same router, no vpn is used, and mixed mode is off in qbittorrent as i was intending to use it only for i2p. Running mac with apple silicon.

any help would be appreciated! can share additional info if it helps
