Slow speed torrenting using an LXC container

[aschneder]

Hello everyone! First post here, after a couple of days searching, I've decided to ask for help here.

I've successfully installed qBittorrent on a small LXC container running Ubuntu 20.04, also got the webui working, looking really good.

I also had manually mounted a couple of shared SMB locations from my local network, because I own an outdated NAS hardware that only works with SMBv1, I can now download my files directly to my NAS, really happy with it.

The problem is that the download speeds are terrible, I can only manage to get 5mbps. My Proxmox machine has a gigabit ethernet card, cables are fine, I can download to my NAS, using my destkop, at about 50mbps just fine, so I spend the last couple of days searching for a solution.

I've found this: https://qbforums.shiki.hu/viewtopic.php?p=36313&sid=9469c79a1921ee97567abdda3ed9450f#p36313

The problem with the solution above is that I have to mount the NAS storage to the CT, so it creates a CT image inside the NAS and I can no longer access the "raw" files over my desktop, I need them to be accessible over my network, for all my devices, as a regular SAMBA share.

Can someone help me on how to get the full access/bandwidth for my CT over to my NAS?

I'm new to Proxmox and I'm still learning a lot. I'm what they say a "power user", I can copy and paste code and get a general understanding of all but I have zero knowledge on Linux.

Thank you very much!

Don't download torrents directly to a shared network drive, performance will be terrible. It's not sequential and you're generating a lot of unnecessary network traffic. (aka You're Doing It Wrong.)

Download torrent to local disk / ssd / RAMdisk (and don't use ZFS for backing storage, either - use XFS or ext4) and AFTER IT FINISHES DOWNLOADING, you can move it to network share. But don't keep seeding it if you do that.
