Everything works and then gets stuck at "Downloading metadata"

[temelj]

Firstly I would like to point out that "everything works" means that I am able to successfully queue downloads and it downloads everything perfectly fine. However, after some time, when I add a new torrent it gets stuck at "downloading metadata". A restart docker-compose stop & docker-compose up -d resolves the issue but it keeps happening even though I keep the image up-to-date.

I am using docker-compose and below is the configuration that I have.

  # https://github.com/binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn
  qbittorrentvpn:
    image: binhex/arch-qbittorrentvpn
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - "6888:8080" #  WebUI
      - "6881:6881" #  TCP Listening Port
      - "6881:6881/udp" #  UDP Listening Port
      - "8118:8118" #  Privoxy
    volumes:
      - "./config/qbittorrent:/config" # config directory
      - "./data/qbt-data:/data" # downloads folder
      - "./data/qbt-completed:/downloads"
    environment:
      VPN_ENABLED: 'yes'            
      VPN_CLIENT: 'wireguard'         
      VPN_PROV: 'custom'
      NAME_SERVERS: '1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1'
      PUID: 1000 # set this to the UID of your user
      PGID: 1000 # set this to the GID of your user
      ENABLE_PRIVOXY: 'yes'
      DEBUG: 'false'
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
    restart: unless-stopped

Is there anything blatantly wrong with my configuration? Are there any logs that can provide more info? The qbittorrent client is not really informative when it comes to issues/errors.

Thank you in advance.
