Imma test it right away, thanks for your effort sledge as always (waiting 5mins ). Hope this time uTp works like it has to be instead of previous weird behaviours which gave slow download speeds and very few peers.
EDIT: Thanks ironcross for the direct link. Switched while waiting for the other one.
EDIT 2: All seems working good with first torrent. It has a feature called anonymous mode, what exactly does it? I think it has alot more changes under the hood . My uploadspeed however goes very often above the limit that I have set and has something to do with uTp I think otherwise very stable. Imma play with the uTp settings a bit and see how it works, like apply rate limit to uTp.

It seems that Christophe hasn't removed me as an official windows packager but I still cannot upload to sf.net. I get "permission denied" when I try to create a new 'qbittorrent-2.9.7' folder. It seems that sf.net is having some maintenance problems :S

* removed the session mutex for improved performance
* added upload and download activity timer stats for torrents
* made the reuse-address flag configurable on the listen socket
* moved UDP trackers over to use a single socket

(production asserts)

* supports complete_ago extension
* dropped zlib as a dependency and builds using puff.c instead
* made the default cache size depend on available physical RAM
* added flags to torrent::status() that can filter which values are calculated
* support 'explicit read cache' which keeps a specific set of pieces
in the read cache, without implicitly caching other pieces
* support sending suggest messages based on what's in the read cache
* clear sparse flag on files that complete on windows
* support retry-after header for web seeds
* replaced boost.filesystem with custom functions
* replaced dependency on boost.thread by asio's internal thread primitives
* added support for i2p torrents

Ahhhh, please, please... make "Open Destination Folder" to open folder containing the files like it was before this final build, this is essential!!
Also, again, with this build when adding new torrents the dialog window that appears shows the folder that will be downloaded, not the actual files.

If this version indeed has that, I'll be waiting for "official" or a fix, sorry sledgehammer.
It's stable and works fine but my speeds have dropped even lower with this build. Using uTorrent 3.1.3 I get a stable 4,4 MB/s on a 40 Mb/s line, which is fine. Downloading the same torrents with qBt gets me 3,0 MB/s. With previous builds it was 3,9 MB/s, still lower than uTorrent. This probably has something to do with libtorrent but I'm not sure I want to keep using a client that somehow loses 30% of my connection speed.

- I can confirm this, it opens your main download folder instead the file folder that you are downloading. Essential indeed.
- Second problem is also correct; it shows the folder instead of the files while adding torrent but if you press the + infront of the folder you can see the files. It wasn't like this before if im right.
And one thing I want to add is that when you're adding new torrent the window gets to its default size again instead like how you have set it. Happens mostly after restarting the client. I hope this little things gets fixed soon.
ok guys. Maybe you're right. I don't have the time to test your bugs/problems, so I don't deny them. But if they are true I have the feeling that this is not a problem of packaging(remember I am a packager) but a problem in the code of qbt. So I think you have to report them to the official bug tracker. Trust me, I would test AND report them myself(and maybe fix them) but CURRENTLY I have other real life obligations. I cannot do more than compile and package the project. So please report the issues in the bug tracker. Thank you.
An annoying bug: add torrent dialog window settings are forgotten after the qBt is closed. When adding a torrent the name, size and priority columns are really narrow and have to be manually adjusted. The settings are remembered until the next time qBt is started when everything is gone again.
HI TO ALL
ok this is my first post...........as i have discovered Qbt..just 6 hours ago; i have been using utorrent for....at least 8 years. But reading some reviews i decided to change as your client has been getting great reviews ! Bravo to its creator !!!
BUT...............................am i stupid or does qbittorrent NOT INCLUDE the queuing function, nor the priority for each torrent, nor set max active download/updloads........
HOW is that possible that a client misses those features or is it that i have been used to utorrent for sooo long that i can't use anything else ?
please, please get back to me...anyone, anywhere !
ps: i am one windows 7
