Torrents not downloading - Nighthawk x6 R8000

I have recenlty fitted the about router and eveything is 100% fines with one exception.   My system will no longer download torrents and they sit there stalled and never change.  Is there a setting...

What software/device are you using to grab Torrents?

 

What makes you think the R8000 is involved? Do the logs show some sort on intervention on its part?

    Have managed to get it working.

     

    What is strange is that when the SH3 is conencted downloads via torrents are faster but web speed tests etc as lower than they sohuld be.

    If I connect using the NH the web speeds are what they should be (around 400 Mbps) but terrents are around 150 Mbps

     

    Plsu why is there no DNLA or UPNP os this router.  That is a function I would expoecty from a £200 peice of kit.

      That's good. Care to share how you did it for the benefit of others?

      No idea. I assume that you checked this before you bought the thing.
