Torrent container crashes when downloading large files

I'm quite stumped, would love some ideas to solve an issue I have.

I stopped self-hosting my server in my home and moved it to the cloud.
Purchased a 2 CPU 4 RAM ARM shared VM from Hetzner, and set it up.

Everything works fine except downloading large torrents (10GB+
approximately). Whenever I add a large torrent, it starts downloading
for a couple seconds and then crashes. Doesn't matter which torrent
client I use (qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission).

The CPU is not under heavy load at all, there is a bit of free ram
(\~200-400MB), and it downloads to a Hetzner Box via a CIFS mount. The
rest of the containers all operate normally, so it's not like the
whole VM crashes - only that specific container.

I can also not stop or remove the container - I have to kill the
actual process, or reboot the VM.

I also tried upgrading the VM to a beefier one (4 CPU 8 RAM) but it
still happens.

Any ideas? Thanks.

The problem is on the line #871 in the log file you attached.

"docker logs -f "

Thanks, I’ll check dmesg. As for the container logs, it says nothing
(maybe because it’s a linuxserver container)

If the log said anything I would have known what the issue was, the
thing is the log literally says nothing (maybe because it’s a
linuxserver container)

Usually you get containers to be more talkative, i.e. by adjusting
verbosity level in the app config etc.
