anuraag Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 qBittorrent is a multi-platform Bittorrent client developed in C++/Qt4. The qBittorrent project aims to provide a Free Software alternative to µtorrent. Its main features are its integrated search engine (allows searching for torrent from the main torrent Web sites simultaneously in a transparent fashion), its support for l'UPnP/NAT-PMP, Bittorrent protocol encryption (Azureus-compatible), Peer Exchange (PeX) compatible with µTorrent, IP filtering (eMule-like "ipfilter.dat" or PeerGuardian filters), Torrents (and the files they contain) prioritizing, remote control through a secure Web User Interface. Thanks to ARMOUR for the update.Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Any ideas why the x64 version installs to the Program Files (x86) directory by default? Shouldn't it install to the normal x64 Program Files folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Trail Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It's still an open issue. 64-bit installer is defaulting to "C:\Program Files (x86)" #6079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3rM1nat0Rr3 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Programs do not cause BSODs. BSODs are caused by driver or possible hardware issues. NirSoft's BlueScreenView can display information and help determine what the cause of a BSOD is. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html Direct Download: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluescreenview.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NirSoft's BlueScreenView can display information and help determine what the cause of a BSOD is. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html I would believe that if the problem was happening too all torrent clients anyway i always install the latest drivers from Dell . Most of the time when I had BSOD in the past it were 2 programs conflicting with each other maybe this what is causing it but I never had any bsod on that PC with Windows 10 rs 1 except when i tried to run qbittorrent. on it. This pc is pretty new even. even my BIOS i ungraded it for windows 10 .My Dell was was windows 8.1 free upgrade to Windows 10 out of the box they support Windows 10 on it. And in the top 10 reasons for BSOD software is listed so software not causing BSOD is a myth . Quote Software Most software errors will not cause Windows to crash. Both the operating system and the software that runs on it have become more reliable over the years. Still, software issues can cause random lock-ups. The culprit is often obvious because the problem only occurs when that software is used. It will be less obvious if the problem software is running in the background. In rare cases your PC might freeze on boot because of software that runs automatically. You can usually resolve this by booting to safe mode and using msconfig to disable software that runs at boot. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/why-does-windows-crash-the-top-10-reasons/ And this was the problem i was having my pc would bsod only when using qbittorrent I dont use BitTorrent enough anymore too really care witch client I use as long as it works but i will test it again to see if it was just a version bug . No one is seeding much over on public p2p anymore anyone who has the extra money is buying a debird , so unless Im on the private site I belong too i can just leech the torrent with debird and dont have too worry about BitTorrent trolls Only time I leech or go to private sites is when i cant find it on a filehost witch is very rare .Streaming videos have become more popular than BitTorrent. I'mI waiting for them to push everyone over the edge to decentralized filesharing before I get back in too it heavy Decentralized technology is there just there is no big demand for it yet because P2P and filehost have become all about sites making money and stuff is very easy to find.. Once they clamp down hard enough and most all sites vanish then the next wave of fileshareing will take place witch will be decentralized filesharing. People who use BitTorrent are making site owners rich they are the ones sharing so as long as a people gather together in the name of filesharing it will always prevail. I have other p2p software that is pure filesharing that's not even on the BitTorrent protocol and no site needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudboy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I went back to uTorrent because I got tired of qbittorrent saying "stalled" for close to a minute on EVERY torrent before they would start. But for some odd reason my go to version of uTorrent (3.3.2) started creating crash dump files every time I closed uTorrent. So after a few days I have a folder full of .dmp files. Moved up to the first non-beta version of 3.4 and have no issues again. Could never figure out the reason for "stalled" in qbit or the crash dumps on what was previously a perfect working version of uTorrent. It never actually crashed though, I think Win10 just thinks it is crashing when I close it. It just didn't do that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you've closed the equation with Windows 10, the result will never be qBittorrent. I never had the problem you told neither in Windows 7 nor in Fedora...

I never had the problem you told neither in Windows 7 nor in Fedora... Had the same issue on Win 8.1. Have seen plenty of posts about the "stalled" issue in many, many different places. Zero idea what causes it for myself or others, but the problem DOES exist. Went through all of the troubleshooting that those who have gotten it solved for themselves have taken, but none of them remedied it for myself (and plenty of others). I'd like to say I'd give it another go after a few versions, but it's already been plenty of versions since I had previously tried it on 8.1 with the same problem. I have 250 Mbps both up and down so that's not the issue, happened on 8.1 so 10 wasn't the issue, completely uninstalled Avira Pro so A/V conflict wasn't the issue, disabled windows firewall completely.. not the issue, plugged my PC in straight from the wall to bypass the router... ziltch. qBit is excellent if it's working perfectly for a person. Not so great when it's having issues. Same can be said for any other client. The ONLY thing I don't care for in qBit (other than what I already described) is that it doesn't have the checkbox that uTorrent does, to have it NOT create a subfolder if you choose. I always say use what works best for the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
