You can win over faster seeders by configuring your client to use TCP instead of UDP (µTP), and your operating system to an aggressive TCP congestion control algorithm like BBR.
If you do this you’ll saturate your upload and win over every other peer using µTP or cubic/reno TCP, even if the peer is very far away.
The problem is probably unrelated to the firmware, and caused by some other upgrade.
After experiencing the issue, you should be able to switch to a different tty with ctrl-alt-f6 (or any other f key), log in, and check
journalctl -bfor an error message. Edit: Use the End key or shift-G to scroll to the end of the journal.
