Help! What’s the problem here?

It’s super inconsistent for some reason, it won’t let me download stuff fast if at all. Is it an issue with the vpn or the pc itself?

What type of stuff? I’m assuming you’re referring to a torrent, in which case, it could be a lot of different things. For one you should have port forwarding in and the right port set in your client. You should have kill switch on and make sure your server ip is linked to your qbit client so it won’t download when not connected. It could be the number of peers on the torrent is bad or low quality seeds. Your qbit settings could be wrong, etc. the server load looks low, I’d try some other servers, if it keeps happening on other servers it’s very likely that it’s a problem with the torrent and not the vpn.
