I've done a lot of searching and reading through these forums, and the closest thread is: Torrents causing conntrack table to overflow but still does not apply because I'm barely over 10% of my conntrack usage.
Any suggestions on what avenues to pursue to make any progress on understanding what's going on?

Worth noting that I do have sqm enabled with fq_codel + simple. However, the results are the same with or without SQM enabled, and there is hardly any traffic moving, the seeding torrents are mostly just sitting there.
Check here - it generates http load and measures latency increases https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
IF latency increase is observed here you need SqM, if not run torrent limiting to 1000...2000....3000 connections and check if problems introduce solely depending on connection numbers.
I'm very new to openwrt and just setup this router a couple of days ago and I'm noticing a similar issue but with downloading not seeding.
My ISP never did this before the new router installation, and Blufferbloat gave me an A+ rating (with a PC VPN on) so it has to be the router throttling and crashing the connection for some reason.
It even happens late at night when all other devices are sleeping. The Firewall's SYN-flood protection is enabled, could that be it?

Any help would be highly appreciated, I don't exactly know what I'm doing.
You have to translate them to nftables.
Do you run torrent on the router itself or on some LAN machine (in later case you have to construct stateless-rewrite based NAT in raw table ipo notrack)
Thanks for the info. The link provided states "Note that the rules presented affect all TCP packets arriving at all interfaces and are intended only for demonstrative purposes." but I'd like it to only affect one device, the likely culprit being my PC running the torrents.
So I've set my PC's local static IP to 192.168.1.126, could you please help me alter the rule in the link provided to only affect my IP?
table inet raw {
chain prerouting {
type filter hook prerouting priority raw; policy accept;
ip protocol tcp ip daddr set 192.168.1.100 tcp dport set 10 notrack
ip6 nexthdr tcp ip6 daddr set fe00::1 tcp dport set 10 notrack
}
}
Would I change 192.168.1.100 to my static IP 192.168.1.126?
Would I execute the snippet in the /etc/nftabled.d/*.nft file?
It says I require nftables >=0.7 and linux kernel >= 4.9. I can't find nftables in the software list but I have nftables-json v1.1.1-r1 and not sure what kernel I have but assuming its up to date with this new device and the latest openwrt sysupgrade image I installed.
Thanks again for the assistance, I'm sure I'll get the hang of this one day
