I've used qbittorrent for almost a decade now. All of a sudden, when I use a magnet link, I can't even see the contents of the file, let alone download it. When I download the torrent file itself, it will open qbittorrent, and it populates the file contents, but when I hit download, it never finds seeders or peers. Also of note is that I use surfshark vpn, which has always been great for torrenting. I've tried the top torrents across multiple websites and gotten the same results. None of my settings in qbittorrent have changed, im fully up to date, and I'm at a complete loss as to what's happening. Have any of you had this issue, and if so, what can I do to resolve it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Update: fixed by a complete reinstall
