Hi,

I have 1 main router , 1 mini pc 24/7 on downloading and stuff connected to main router.

I have my main PC connected to a wifi6 dedicated router (to be used with quest 3 virtual desktop) and that wifi6 router is hardwired to the main router.

Downloading torrent A on mini pc works fine , completes the torrent , now if I download the same torrent A on the main gaming pc it does not download stuff from mini pc/ mini pc does not upload to gaming pc instead It downloads from the sole 1 or 2 seeds that the minipc used

If I cam get this to work it would be greatly helpful with some niche torrents that have only 1 or 2 seeders as I would much prefer have the mini pc download the stuff over few days and just turn on the gaming pc to quickly get the file from miniPC.

How can I fix this ?

Edit: Local peer discovery is enabled on both clients. Different clients.

Also the network structure in my house might be an issue as is :

MiniPc — Main router------ wifi6 router-----Gaming Pc

Technically I think Gaming PC and MiniPc should be on different networks ?

Thank you
