Im getting back to dowloading Linux distros for the first time in over a decade...man have the times changed. I'm running qBittorrent with all the major repos including Jackett...but everything is downloading <10KiB/s?! Surely something is wrong, any ideas?

Make sure you've enabled PEX, DHT etc, also update your tracker list using the lists here: https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

Both were already enabled, but I manually added every tracker listed to cover my bases (both DNSs and IPs). I reannounced, but the speed hasn't improved.

Have you limited upload? The BitTorrent protocol needs some amount of upload to sustain download speeds and throttling upload can mess it up.

I did limit the upload, what's a good setting?

There really isnt a good reason to limit upload unless you have other devices that need the upload capacity on your Internet connection. It's best to leave it uncapped. Limiting upload doesn't prevent ISP or Copyright holders from viewing your IP. Torrent clients will do this automatically if left un capped but you want it to be about 70-80% of your max real upload speed.
