Sometimes, when I try to torrent using qBittorrent or Transmission, the search for metadata appears to take forever. What could be causing this issue?

A magnet link is basically a torrent of a torrent, so the answer to your question is going to be the same as “why won’t this torrent download quickly / at all?”.

It could be:

  • No seeders
  • Firewall rules blocking DHT
  • No port forwarding
