ktorrent - trying instead of qbittorrent

Mint 17.3 with all updates qbittorrent works fine but dload speeds are slow. Have tried Tixati/Frostwire etc - not to my liking and no faster. Installed ktorrent - went to Sttings/Configure/Network/Recommended and accepted. Gives 1 torrent at a time but dload speed around 400 KiB/s ( ADSL2 +) - much better. Still need to setup NAT/Virtual Servers in Billion 8800AXL to specifically bond ports to ktorrent ( defaults are 6881 and 8881(UDP) .

    OK have now added all of PIA's APP ports to modem/routers NAT-port triggering. Linux Distro torrents ( with minimal seeders/leechers) download at near full speed for my ADSL2+. Other torrents are still only about 20% of max speed at best - wasn't like this prior to around Nov 2016, then I could often get near max speed no matter what torrent when using PIA and using any torrent client.
