Difficulty Connecting to "Redirect: Torrent Applications"

Starting with the previous update, and continuing with the newest (4.20.2), I have a great deal of difficulty connecting to "Redirect: Torrent Applications."
I have to try anywhere from three to seven times before I get a solid connection. The way it fails is that within a second of connecting, the Latency number changes from some reasonable number to "-1".

Same issue here, lately - I usually connect 'my computer' to Amsterdam - also for qBitTorrent (Nick mentioned that is a good (the best?) torrent-server/ISP). However, it's hit and miss, these days - if it runs (very well!), it 'suddenly' stops - is there a limit (minutes/hours or bandwidth (MB/GB))?
'Redirecting Torrent apps', I get that 'Latency -1ms' too.
It's not that my torrents are not uploading anymore, as disabling HA, they do (albeit, trickling). Also, changing the listening-port (in qBT) sometimes helps (> 60.000). At times restarting qBT helps, just not very often. My router reboots (almost daily) because of power-outages.
And yes, I updated yesterday to HA 4.20.4 (thankfully seeing this post).
What are A'dam-torrent-alternatives? I thought Milan worked reasonably well, in the past, yet it is barely connecting either.
Is it HA-servers getting limited/restricted? Some global ISP clamp-down on torrents?
It is just not as smooth and convenient any longer...

4.20.4 should work well from now. Sorry we had our torrent hosts move data center and one by one they would have to migrate them over, and give new IP addresses, so this meant we'd have to keep issuing updates. We're done now so it should work fine.

What about a list of those IP's (encrypted....) on your server, that HA downloads once or twice a day (automatically, under the hood)?
That way we don't have to download the complete install (that I didn't get any notification about, but only learned about in this thread).
(wouldn't that be similar to FirstAlert in MW?)

Yep, that's coming so we don't have to do these updates
