Today I tried one last time before giving up. I installed kubuntu 14.04
on a virtual machine. I configured the vpn and connected. Then I
launched ktorrent and opened the ubuntu 18.04 torrent. It immediately
connected to 119 seeders out of 3052. Download speeds varied between
2.75 and 4 MBps. Using virtualbox's shared folders option, I've mounted
the folder where I have files downloaded to on the host machine in the
guest. So anything Ktorrent saves, it saves on the host. Thanks
Michael Butash for the idea of using a virtual machine to handle bittorrent.
I have no idea what I did that made it work this time, but I won't
complain. Thanks to all for your input.
