Re: standalone

Exactly. That's why I use Revo Uninstaller when I want to uninstall a program: it'll hunt for leftovers and offer to delete them for me.

Portable apps pose other challenges, like registering them as default (on Windows 10/11 anyway), so I'd rather go the full install route.

How to seed files?

Hi everyone, I have an ample collection of files I'd like to seed. Those are files I've downloaded with qbittorrent over the years (nothing kinky...) then moved to a more spacious drive, so they don't appear in my QBT library anymore. I tried to "create a torrent", selected the drive in qu...

Re: 4.5.2 won't install on Windows 11 Pro

Problem solved: turns out the installer doesn't like to find a FAT-formatted pagefile inside a FAT-formatted RAM disk.

I disabled the pagefile, retried to install qBT and voilà !

SOLVED: 4.5.2 won't install on Windows 11 Pro

Hi everyone, I hadn't used qBT in a while, but when I fired it up this morning (it's morning where I live), it told me a new 4.5.2 version was available and would I like to download it. I said OK, and was directed to FOSS Hub for download. Download went fine, but when I tried to install, just after ...

Re: qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

I hear you, but I don't have another SIM card to try with. Both my SIMs are with the same mobile provider, and both work fine. I've just put the one I use for data transfer in my old iPhone 6, and the issue remains: as soon as qBT starts running, there's no bandwidth left for other programs. I quit ...

Re: qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

I understand, but the 4G connection I have at home is quite stable and reasonably fast (well over 40Mbps), plus the modem I use acts as a router. This issue only arise when qBT is ***running***, even if it's not downloading or uploading anything, just running with all downloads and seeding on pause....

Re: qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

Well, it's me again, and not with good news. qBT has started to act up again, even in µTP. I'm going to reinstall it, but I can't for the life of me understand why it's doing it all over again, after behaving itself for a while.

OK, switching to uTP as Peter advised seems to have stopped the hemorrage! \o/

Thank you so much!

Re: qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

I hear your arguments, but I don't think the router is the culprit, because it delivers a steady, 40+ Mbps downlink, with next to no ups and downs, and everything takes place on the same PC (the HP), so it's not a matter of one PC gobbling up all my bandwidth running qBT, with the other PC competing...

Re: qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

Hi, Thanks for taking the time! To answer your question, the Lenovo is a bit on the old side (2011) but it's out of the equation since I do my downloading on the HP, which I bought new in March 2021. I'll try and change the max number of connections setting to see if it changes anything, but from th...

qBT "steals" all my bandwidth when in use. Load balancing available?

Hi everyone, My Internet setup is a bit peculiar in the sense that I rely on a cheap 4G router (a TP-Link M7200 if you must know) that does an excellent job at providing me with the best download and upload speeds in my area of residence. I don't think it's at fault when it comes to my predicament, ...

Don't know how to mark the topic as "Solved", so I'm doing it here, but I found what I was looking for: This time, ordering downloads by number worked and stayed that way, so that the latest downloads are now at the top of the list and not at the bottom. Moderators, can you stamp my topic ...

Save downloads in two differents folders?

Hi,

I've set qBittorrent to save downloaded files in my Downloads folder (duh), but I'd like to know if there's a way to save them in a second folder or directory, namely on a USB drive, preferably while they are being downloaded, but after the fact would work too, as long as it's automatic.

How to add new downloads to the top of the list, not the bottom?

Hi, New here, but a long-time user, I've finally found the time to visit and ask that question I've had for some time now: Is there a way to add new downloads at the top of the list in the main window, instead of at the bottom? After a while, my download list becomes quite long, thanks to the good w...
