Is it really turned off???

Post by Father H »

Does shutting down qBittorrent automatically stop any downloads and uploads that might be active??

I assume the answer is yes, and have alway done things this way, but, over the past month I've had files, that nothing was happening with (i.e., the seeds and/or peers were offline), but, within a few minutes of closing down qBittorrent and then my VPN, I suddenly receive a notice telling me that my download has been completed - - and a couple of days later my ISP receives an email from some organizations claiming copyright infringement, so my VPN service (NordVPN), and I are trying to discover what's happening, i.e., is the leak through them or through qBittorrent, or must I now, after many years of using qBittorrent, suddenly have to halt all uploads and downloads one at a time.

Thanks for any insight that might assist stopping this problem.

Requesting QBT closure doesn't not kill it. Mainly tasks in the cache are requested to ends and some delay may occur. Hardly minutes however, one or two at most with the standard config is my best guess.
