qBittorrent v4.0.0 - Issues, Forum Topics

[Nemo-qB]

Hi all,

People complain about the UI with v4.0.0, but reverting back to the old style will also make some complain again. You can't make both sides happy it seems. https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5465.0.html https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5292.0.html https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5464.0.html

Poorly rendered icons like this, confirmed by me. https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5460.msg26665.html#msg26665

Weird speed behaviour, did change alot of settings with the cache but still the same up and down issue, confirmed by me https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5461.0.html

Double click issue with downloading torrents. https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,5462.0.html

Windows defender issue. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/7737

Crashing issue, like the one is reported here. https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/7739

I have redirected the users that have problems to this issue so we have everything at one place.

Hello,

After update to 4.0 speed became unstable.

3.3.16 no issue.

Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks.

[Nemo-qB]

I can confirm this, updated the main post. Makes me think that someting is wrong with libtorrent 1.1.5.

[sherba800]

New design is gorgeous. Old design is ugly. Few issues are really annoying after update:

1. Poorly rendered icons:
2. Constantly appearing crash window after torrent or magnet link is added (on Windows 10):
3. Unstable speed.

[cr0ssmind]

Yes, icons are poorly rendered me too and the speed is unstable, as oldman777 mentioned it earlier.

I'm seeing almost all these issues on the machine I tested 4.0.0 on.

At this point, there's too many issues with 4.0.0 to recommend using it.

There should have been more than 2 betas. At least 4 betas would have fixed most of these issues, and too many outstanding issues were simply ignored and slapped with a 4.0.1 label instead.

4.0.0 should have been rolled out in early 2018. I suspect 4.0.0 was rushed out in order to get in front of the holiday season.

I'm sticking with 3.3.16 until we get a release everybody is happy with.

Scrolling vertical and especially sideways with mouse feels chunky and jerky to me, can't say for sure so please check on your side too.

[BobMarley77]

Im getting this error after clicking on magnet link https://image.ibb.co/dJN2Cm/Capture.jpg the torrent does load but the error appears every time.

[matpu]

when double click to open the File, it only open the General folder not the folder containing the click file or folders

[zpoison]

@quxixian Same here, it moves in "blocks" of 10 torrents , kinda 1 - it feels it cannot scroll smoothly

And if you guys don't mind I will add:

2 - VISUAL The visual is hard on the eyes colors and blacks and writings are too contrasted, but the design is nice (greyer and more pastel like previous version was much softer on the eyes IMO)

3 - BETTER RECEPTION At first connection, after install, there was a progress, it was like the old stalled torrents have started to donwnload again, it was nice, I did 30 Gb in very little time It stabilized ( I have 2000 resumed torrents in it, + 800 are completed, to me its like that all the time) It seems the old stalled torrents are doing kinda well, some are downloading right now

4 - "NOT WORKING" After 1-2 hours I added 3-4 new torrents and they were "not working" Nothing could be done to start the trackers (not normal, because they had many seeds)

5 - LONGER TO CLOSE I had to close Qbittorrent and it took a long time before it closed, as like it was a couple of releases ago, but that is not that bad since Qbittorrent is so great we can live with it (too many download in progress maybe but in the previous release it did not matters, nevermind)

6 - FOLDER ISSUE The open folder location is opening the root folder, so that's another strange thing that's happenning.

[jaykae89]

issue with the rss downloader, setting a saved folder but still keeps putting the files in the complete save folder in the settings

completely ignores the separate saved folder set in rss

[PMmeyourgits]

I also had qb4.0.0 crash on me right after update. Hoping to see all these bugs fixed, since an update is supposed to be better than the older version...

[sledgehammer999]

About the speed issues: Try playing with the μTP-TCP mixed mode algorithm option in Advanced settings. The previous default was "Prefer TCP".

Hello, After the update, newly added torrents don't want to start download, no matter the tracker. The activity is just zero. Seeding of old finished torrents still works.

UPDATE: after uninstalling 4.0 and reverting to 3.3.15, everything works again. User settings have not been changed in any of the versions that I've used.

[fstlaneukraine]

Except if, like me, your RSS is broken and you go back to 3.3.16. In which case, all previously downloaded torrents (haven't tried a new one yet) will not seed. Only way to keep them from pausing is to force seed.

[allnex]

I'm getting a lot of I/O errors, all from the same file. With 3.3.6 it also happened but less times.

[Taomyn]

I cannot install either the 32bit or 64bit on my Windows Server 2016 - I can re-install v3.3.16 but running the new 4.0.0 installer and nothing happens. There is no message, no hanging process, no eventlog messages, just nothing. Very strange,

[brechreiz]

re-checking more than 1 file at a time does no longer pause the checking for the other files :/ it checks every file at once... that's not cool.

please fix, or tell me if there is an option to change this behavior.

Right click on your completed torrents and select "Limit share ratio...". Make sure that it has the correct value.

That was it. I never set that, so 4.0 must have done something to my value and when I went back to 3.3.16 it was f'ed up. Thanks!

[N1mu3h]

Please give us the option which icon set to use - these new ones look simply hideous on a dark theme (not to mention that the systray icon on win7 looks like it was drawn by someone with Parkinsons):

Also the speeds were so bad I reverted back to 3.3.16 ... the new version only had maybe 1/8th of the download speed on the same file.

[matpu]

Also, The Delete Command did not delete the file from the System even if you select "Also Delete the File from the Hard Drive option"

[Apesbrain]

Child windows do not respect screen boundaries. If the main window is not maximized, both the "Options" window and the "Display torrent content and some options" window can run off the screen and do not retain new position when moved.

Already fixed with https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/commit/236abcf3f1447e1f96c370e0ca78b7a5d47971c7

[dreamhunt]

Please, add an option to keep the old glossy icons as an alternative option in the settings for those who prefer to use them. New icon set is VERY ugly!

[sledgehammer999]

Nope. Personally I downvote this.

[alexpetrut93]

Link to old icons back (qbitorent v 336)

[dreamhunt]

Nope. Personally I downvote this.

What do you mean? Do you like this shitty icons??? Are you blind or something?

[ghost]

@sledgehammer999 OK, what am I supposed to do with that? Sorry for being such a noob...

[Nemo-qB]

@dreamhunt

Thats your opinion. Others do like it who didn't liked the old style and so on.

I can still remember when everyone was complaining at the forums about the UI that it looked so "outdated".

[Chocobo1]

@Tuff-Gong OK, what am I supposed to do with that? Sorry for being such a noob...

Wait for the next release, I suspect it won't be long.

[ghost]

OK, thanks!

[N1mu3h]

@Nemo-qB Thats your opinion. Others do like it who didn't liked the old style and so on.

Can't be all THAT hard to add an option in settings so we can have the choice between old + new icons? Those new ones look cheap and are hard to see on a dark theme.

[ghost]

The new icons just need to be brightened up and be completely finished so they replace all of the old icons instead of most of the old icons.

The problem is that 4.0.0 was rushed out too early. We should have had 4 or 5 betas instead of just 2.

[vit5421]

Run external program on torrent completion option is changing command syntaxes between parameters from \ to / .

[shoomow]

Hi, all. After I updated to 4.0.0, the list of torrents became all messed up. The ratio is correct, but the uploaded ammount is wrong. Speed doesn't go higher that 1.5 Mb/s for upload and download doesn't happen at all.

P.S.: The design is fine.

[dreamhunt]

You are using ultra ugly Square 10 and It's obvious that you'll like the new ugly look of qbittorrent too. "Modern", flat ugliness. About speed problems, it has been written already in this thread. Don't be shy, read it!

[t0lik]

I have the antivirus-related issue but not the same as #7737. After successful installation Panda antivirus said: the virus W32/Exploit.gen is in qBitTorrent.exe.

[Nemo-qB]

@dreamhunt

Im not sure why you are bashing others who do like the icons and have a different opinion? Im using Windows 10 too whats the problem? Its personal taste who do and who don't like it, calm down a bit. It will always be like that but have some respect to each other in the first place.

Anyway.. Im sure that the devs will look into the issues.

[dreamhunt]

The problem is big and it's sad that you don't realize it. Spyware 10 is a disaster in so many ways. And people like you are using it because of force of habbit, nothing more. Ugly spyware, sheeps and the good shepherd Microsoft. Qbittorrent became such ugly too. Please, add an option to keep the old glossy icons as an alternative option in the settings for those who prefer to use them. New icon set is VERY ugly!

[sledgehammer999]

@Tuff-Gong yes wait for the next release. It will be a hot-fix release. Probably tomorrow. I hope in the meantime we can fix another crashing issue that has been reported and we're investigating. Your crash is just annoying. I don't think it can cause loss of data until tomorrow.

[dreamhunt]

On Arch Linux with KDE there aren't problems at all. Just the ugliest icons...

[shoomow]

Stop whining already, nobody cares

[Prisoner416]

Yeah, I won't be updating as long as this new icon is in use. Sticking with 3.3.16.

The slightly glossy, lightning in background icon was perfect and there was no real reason to change it to this "modern" flat... THING. I really hate the Windows Metro look.

[zeule]

@dreamhunt: You can switch to your system icon theme (the setting is in "Advanced" tab)

[dreamhunt]

Yes, it's obvious. The opinion of the users doesn't matter, right? Sheeps are all using ugly and flat icons, f*ck the rest that don't want to blend in the herd! They all must obey to the flat madness, they haven't right to dislike them!

[scanferr]

Since updating to version 4, I am unable to seed. All torrents show as "Seeding" but after 10 seconds they change to "Completed" and therefore don't seed. Everything was working fine with the previous version. All settings are set up accordingly, number of connections, torrents, etc.

Any ideas?

[ghost]

I also try to install qbt 4.0 which turns into a nightmare. Crash on update, I/O errors and unstable dl/up speeds (no matter what) - I thought it was my connection ^_^; Luckly, prev version works. I hope the devs implements toolbar skinning like the one that emule had, so everyone has the possibility to change the icons to his hearts content (not my concern, I'm more interested in functionality and stability).

BTW thanks so much to the devs for this awesome piece of software given to us for free with no bloat/ads like other piece of software nowadays are full of.

Right click and "limit share ratio..." on those torrents. Check that the correct option is selected.

[sledgehammer999]

Old icons weren't svgs or high resolution. The world moves to higher res and dpi. So we need something that can scale.
