If a torrent has no activity on qbt it's marked as stalled. Years ago torrents used to get stuck in this state even though peers existed and the meme has stuck to this day.
really? cause I'm downloading a torrent with 50 seeders from a private tracker and it's stalled right away for 10+ mins and I had enough. but when i add it to utorrent 2.2.1 it's downloading at 50 mb/s immediately.

I have a torrent right now stuck on 99,8% which has 7 seeds and 3 leeches. qbit does stall torrents, but it will eventually finish. I just assume there's a limit to active connections it will attempt to make for my own sake. I'm not in a particular hurry but I could probably force it to finish. It's not really a false meme though. It definitely does occur. But given the other 3k torrents in my client I don't care that much.
I have tested stalling torrents in other programs including rtorrent on a seed box and I’ve observed the same issue at times with all of them - many seeds in the swarm but connected to 0. The only difference is qbittorrent says stalled and others say downloading (even though it isn’t)

It might also be a seed that genuinely does not have the 100% files. When harddrive corruption takes place for instance and your qbit still has the file seeding. As long as you don't recheck you can trick your client for months like this. Maybe seeders are simply unaware that their file has gotten corrupted.
No. Turns out it finished 10 minutes ago, all I needed to do was restart my torrent client. I'm not going to frick with my settings, those settings are in place for a reason. Might as-well just use deluge if you don't care about settings lmao
Once Deluge gets updated maybe. I still have to use both because RUT bans my old version of qbit.
Is only better on Linux. And even then I question this because I've never tested it myself and things like LibreOffice and 7zip (FOSS) are all inferior to the propriety alternative.
>they still use fricking torrent
It's shit for piracy because they can fricking see you. >IM BEHIND SEVEN PROXIES
They still know it's you.
It's also shit just to download things because it's faster to just fricking download directly than rely on some half-assed pile of shit download method that was made for a level, equal local network and not the goddamn internet.
its only faster to download directly if the file is on a CDN or something where the bandwidth is huge.
on XDCC I rarely get over 6 MB/s, on torrent I can get that x4-5
The only reason to download anything legally like that is if it's something big and on a CDN. Otherwise, you're a fricking underage fricking pirate and should be buttfricked with tons of fines from companies you stole from.
It's fast enough for me. >DDL is faster
I don't care. I just search for a movie and I just get it. I really don't care as long as the quality is good enough. >they know it's you
Do they? Tell me where I can DDL art collections meticulously tagged. Tell me what DDL site is as encompassing as torrents are. >no if I tell you it will go away
See. Then it's arguably worse.

>tfw I used bitcomet for like 3 years
how did I not realize its chinese spyware lol. I should apologize to my friend who asked me for torrenting advice around that time and I told him to use bitcomet. he barely knows what hes doing so he probably got so many viruses cause of me
I hope so, it's a piece of shit. Old utorrent was the best BitTorrent client.
>a piece of shit.
why do you say that and what do you use then?
it doesn't matter what you use, literally anything is better than qbittorrent
source?
hard dependency on Qt6
doesn't parse RSS properly despite having first class support
Whats wrong with Qt6?
Why can't someone make a ncurses interface? I would switch right away
Nerd
thank you for you valuable contribution
just use rtorrent then
>hard dependency on Qt6
Hasn't caused problems for me.
>RSS
have a nice day, hipster Black person.
No option to update the location of a file that has been moved or renamed. You have to do the initial moving from INSIDE qBittorent, which is moronic.
what about bittorrent
why?
It was unusable on Windows like 7 years ago and Winjeets are still assmad about it.
Even better than this?
Fricking frog. Frick you.
>add a huge MAME torrent to Deluge
>shits pants and dies
>add to qbittorrent
>just werks
explain.
It already has, aria2c
>command-line
Nah.
What is there to improve?
Stalled
I hear this constantly with qbittorent, what does that even mean ?

Just change settings.

It keeps freezing/crashing on me while I'm trying to download a 1TB torrent of Rei Mizuna, I'm still salty about it.

I don't know a GOOD ddl site since warez-bb committed suicide
Meanwhile I can just search for art collections and get them at a steady pace.

what about a vpn?
Get on a private tracker pleb.
send me an invite, patricianbro
sent 😉
Literally impossible to get into this nowadays
Private tracker gays are all paranoid nowadays
Once Transmission 4.0 releases, it's over for qBitstalled.
>troonymission
Surpassed as being a piece of shit with really bad networking code?
There is no need to surpass it. The final good version of qBittorrent is 4.3.9, anything after that is trash. It made itself obsolete.

KTorrent is the same thing, but better. Too bad Winbabbies can't have it.
>but better
how so ?
Winbabbies can't have it.
The search plugins made me lazy, it's so good. I just wish it had proper cli tools and a system service.
The only annoying thing is that it searches for porn. I wish there was a way to filter it. Even just reading the titles makes me queasy.
Just don't add porn website plugins.
Just don't be german or american.

2.2.1
no
Why not?
It's literally the same team.
>Will Qbittorrent ever be surpassed?
Only if another torrent client adds search plugins that don't break.
Until then I kneel.
transmission is the best on linux because it doesn't depend on libtorrent-rasterbar which depends on bloated ass boost libraries
>linux
yes
idk
no
I use transmission because its the only obe that lets me leech
