I use archtorify to have tor system-wide, and after clearing it and going back to normal traffic, I try to use torrent but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried with a couple of bittorrent clients with no luck. With the browser happens the same but it gets fixed if I restart the network manager. Any idea of what might be happening and how can I fix this issue?

    Most private tracker will blacklist you if you do. Some allow it but only under specific circumstances and configs but they mention it normally.

    You wrote you tried multiple torrent trackers and nothing worked, I speculate because of that that you configuration with torrific is borked and causes your problems. I speculate that everything is setup to use SOCKS proxy which can cause the problem, qBittorrent btw supports native SOCKS5. You only need to start the tor background service, give QB the socks data, 127.0.0.1, port 9150 or what you setup and then socks4/socks5. Then check via an online service your torrent IP.
