'It don't work. That's what's wrong with it.'
- THREE laptops. (Win 10 and a mostly dying Win Vista)
- Two different locations with different ISPs. (Charter and CenturyLink)
- Two VPNs who both reportly work great with torrents (PrivateTunnel and PIA)
- Two torrent programs (Popcorntime and qBittorent)
- Multiple uninstall/reinstalls of the VPNs and torrent programs.
...and NO BT worky with VPN on, YES BT worky without VPN.
While I can happily browse and stream and post and do any other thing than BT that I've found from either VPN on any site I visit, when I try pull down my favorite ISO... nothing. I click the magnet link (or such), the right program acts like it's going to run, but then nothing happens. No found peers, no anything.
Is the Tap Driver somehow borked? Is my DNS leak protection screwing up just BT? Both VPN tech support guys just offered a refund or 'ehh' after some lame 'reinstall it again' advice failed to move things forward.
Any help here would be great. There's an ISO I'd really like that I just can't find anywhere else, so I'm motivated.
