I allowed qbittorent to make a fire rule exception but I turned it off to make sure. I've tried using no VPN and still nothing so that's not an issue.

Anyone have any insight? Or perhaps another reliable source for large games? Sorry for the basic question. I feel like my piracy know how hasn't evolved in a decade.

I don't usually bother with pirating games but I'm trying to help someone. I tried from two sources and one is stuck on stalled and the other has said "downloading metadata" for over a day.

Thank you

Edit: I realized the whole program was offline so I played with the port settings (selected a random one and added a new firewall rule) and now they're working. Not sure what caused the issue in the first place but I've decided to leave this post up in case someone else has a similar problem.

No VPN because I live on the wild side and I use pretty stock settings. I resolved my issue but should I look into my NIC settings? Thank you for your help.

The NIC thing was more for if you were using a VPN. You can lock down your client to just use the virtual NIC your VPN client creates, so that's always recommended when setting up your client.

Thank you for the information. I will eventually get a VPN again.
