qBittorrent official forums

One thing, if you can't use their software and the killswitch feature, set QB to only use the network device that is created for the VPN, tun0 in my case. That way if the VPN goes down, QB stops traffic as it loses its connection to the internet, as far as it can see anyway. I'm paranoid enough tha...

Yes, but start a new thread.

I'm not sure I'm following you. Why can't you do that through "Set Location"?

i am not using a VPN - but am not downloading anything sensitive

I doubt that, since you are trying to search using plugins for sites that are almost 100% sensitive content. Sensitive is (practically all) films, TV, porn and music.

Lack of port forwarding will affect only a tiny minority of cases, it's very unlikely to be the cause of a systematic problem.

I recently changed Preferences->Downloads->"Default Save Path" and nothing moved - it just applied to new torrents. This was on FreeBSD though.

It seems very unlikely that failed searches have anything to do with port forwarding.

My understanding is that 5(9) would mean that you are connected to 5 and that a total of 9 has been reported by trackers and DHT. I just keep the ones that I think deserve preserving. I also take account of how likely it is that there will be an alternative torrent. The problem with using the number...

I wouldn't like to see this implemented as it would make it hard to spot serious problems.

In public torrents, trackers not working is really common and very unimportant. In private torrents it's usually a short lived problem that we can't do anything about.

Commonly files don't align with bittorrent parts, so qbittorrent has to download and store the overlap in a hidden file - small files are often stored entirely. These files are deleted when the torrent is removed. Deleting unwanted files on completion is dangerous because QB makes it really easy to ...

This is handled the way you want if you mark a file as "do not download" before any part of that file has downloaded.

Is it just that you entered your ordinary password, rather than an "app password"?

It doesn't do that - it may have the opposite effect. The point of it is to reduce file system fragmentation on most filesystems.

If the space were allocated at the point of queuing it would cause some people to run out of space unnecessarily. It could also cause files to be pre-allocated before being set as "do not download". Doing the pre-allocation as late as possible seems like a good idea to me. Is it really suc...

So what's the problem?
