Experiencing very slow download speeds and port forwarding issues after updating to Big Sur.
A friend of mine in another country also facing exactly the same issue so for sure it's not only me.
Anyone else facing the same or knows how to resolve this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
Hey there ice_man7,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re experiencing some issues with download speeds and port forward issues after upgrading macOS. We’ll be happy to help with this.
Make sure you’re using the recommended settings for your router and that nothing could be causing Wi-Fi interference using the steps from these links:

Restart your Mac after that and use Wireless Diagnostics to look for any issues:

Yes, same sh... sorry problem... Download speed like a snail... it's ridiculous before big sure I got to use my maximum download, now I it's can be more than 10% of maximum because usually lover than 1Mb/sec...
Go back to 90's ....

i saw a solution on reddit, if you install qbit version 4.1.9 the issue is resolved and the speeds are backup to optimal levels with port forwarding.
Same thing happened to me. My router stills shows the port as open, but external sites say it's closed. This happened after upgrading to Big Sur.
Would prefer to not have to switch my BitTorrent client. Currently using Transmission...
