Hi there,

I have been using Tixati with NordVPN under Ubuntu 22.04 but the speed is always slow at about 4-6 MB/s. My speed over the VPN is 35-40 MB/s. I use a private tracker with very good seed speed and when I use Qbittorrent there is no problem with the speed so the issue must be with Tixati. I prefer Tixati and would appreciate a solution to my problem. Note that I am using only encrypted connections and I am saving the files on remote HDD that is under NTFS format. I use the same for Qbittorrent.

Thanks in advance!

I actually have experienced this too, without vpn tho, on windows on one specific torrent i was able to get over 20MB/s to the point my slow hard drive was the bottleneck, on linux that same transfer mere minutes after this was at around 2-3MB/s, back on windows and again 20+MB/s, not sure why tho, have the same settings on both OS', it happened on a public tracker with only 2 seeders, on win I'd get almost 20 from one and 1-2MB from the other and on linux id get like 800KB/s from each tops.

It would be helpful to see if the peers are TCP/UDP and IPv4 or IPv6. For VPN connections show the VPN protocol used and if TCP or UDP.

NordVPN uses UDP connection. There are peers with both UPD and TCP connections. I am not sure about which internet protocol they are using. I assume the majority would use IPv4.

My settings for incoming connection is TCP=UDP (I believe this is the default setting) while the outgoing connections are set UDP>TDP and IPv4 preferred. All incoming and outgoing connections are encrypted only.

In my case I dont have IPv6 at all so all peers were on IPv4, and was a mix of TCP and UDP I think, didn't really check that and its been a while
