Hi, if I torrent with 4mb/s+, my internet drops on my desktop within an hour. Not mullvad, my internet (aka the wifi/ethernet icon). Have to restart my pc for it to come back. If I have it capped at 4mb/s, it takes longer, might be something to do with the amount being downloaded?

Tried to download the same torrent on my laptop and it worked without issue. So it should not be an ISP/router issue. Have reinstalled mullvad, no change, looked if there was some firewall on mullvad, nothing. Installed an old version of TP or something (saw it in the faq on mullvad) and it made it worse, instead of a clean download til the issue, I had random drops (mullvad drops) until the issue happened.

Does anyone know what the issue might be? Or should I contact mullvad support?

Also, if anyone knows where to get the newest version of the thing I downgraded, I would love that. Mullvad just gave me a direct download to the install, not the website. Do not like that I can just get random drops for nothing.

Edit in case it is important, laptop is on wifi, desktop is on Ethernet.
