            Nope i just ran again while downloading torrents go this message:
            "Failed to get servers available. Something may be blocking requests error:23
            The browser failed to fetch the list of available servers. Either your connection went offline or there is a proxy or other browser extension blocking the test. If this error occurs after a successful test then there is probably a temporary resource exhaustion in the browser, OS or router."

            when i was able to run it 11 connections failed and 6 successful.

            Ill try the codelq and report result with it.

              I think doing a codelq scheduler and 520Mb in Traffic Shaper on the WAN improved a lot although not perfect but much better while downloading.
              Buffer bloat was A with codelq.

                Do several tests with an "up queue" (limited at 10Mbit ?) - start using values like

                and also a little bit above and beneath.

                  i did 9500 on the upload and now its working with much smaller delay.
                  Buffer bloat is now A++ while downloading torrents.

                  I used this youtube video to set it up.

                    Nice. Did it help with connectivity whilst torrenting?

                      yes it helped thanks for tip.
                      I started learning now about traffic shaping to see if i can do more to improve
                      performance and just to learn about it for fun :)
