Can't download through PIA proxy.
-
I'm using my pia VPN and proxy and torrenting through my qbittorrent client. This set up usually works for public torrents, but torrents from this site don't download when I'm using the proxy. I need to disable the proxy for downloads to progress. Not a major issue for me, but is there a way to get it working?

If you are using the full VPN, you shouldn't need the added layer with the extra proxy connection on top of the full VPN.
That being said, as I recall with PIA, it requires that you use certain servers for port forwarding, and it requires that you use a specific port that it will assign to you. You need to ensure that your torrent client falls in line with the port number that they assign for P2P port forwarding. If you do not do this, it can become extremely difficult to get upload traffic.

Also, with the way the site is setup, some proxy systems choke on the site's security, which somehow causes the connection not to pass all the way through to the server.
