>>59779358
Should be in 3.4.

They restored the use of system locale for dates and times (eg. the "added on" date). Not sure why they changed it to begin with, but it's back to using the system locale's formatting.

>torrent with two seeds. uTorrent sees both and downloads from both. qBittorrent only sees one.
On low seed torrents qBittorrent can sit there STALLED where other clients would be downloading.

How do you stop files you unselect from downloading? This isn't a problem with the client right?

Is Qbittorrent """safe""" on Android, when disregarding the all smartphones are botnet meme?

Just wondering if it's a decent alternative or at least comparable to apps like Flud (which works bretty great if you ignore it being proprietary)

Qbit is and probably will be shit for a long time.

Heh that post they made in the news is really fucking sad, they promoted some obscure magazine that said Qbit is the best and guess what... its in Italian. Like who fucking cares, everybody knows its shit and they are that desparate to promote this shit.

>>59780049
That's just the reality of Bittorrent as a protocol. The stuff you're downloading is broken up into equal segments, so if you want something from a particular segment, then that segment gets downloaded completely, including any parts of files that you don't want.

>>59783506

Firstly I'm fully aware that /g/ is not my personal helpdesk, but I'm a total retard at this and thought I'd ask here as I'm using the latest qBittorrent client.

I've never really torrented anything before, but decided today would be the day I found out what all the fuss was about.

I downloaded a few items, which individually peaked at around 20 mb/s. I don't know if that's fast or if that's slow, but it felt fast enough to me.

Anyway, I'm suppose to seed these to others, right? That's how the technology works?

Why then am I connecting to so few peers? They come and go very very quickly and I've barely been able to upload a thing. Am I doing something wrong here?

My qBittorrent settings are all the default, and my chosen port is open (I googled it).

Why can't I seem to seed properly? I feel kinda' bad for taking this stuff without doing my part to give back.

>>59784009
You only seed when someone is actually downloading the file. You shouldn't bother with public torrents though, just delete and move on.

>>59784044

Oh, yeah I kinda' got that people need to download for me to upload. That makes sense.

But is there any reason no one seems to be connecting to me for their download? Why do my "peer" numbers peak at around 3 and then drop off.

Do people just not want that torrent and then ditch?

I know these questions might be a little hard to guess an answer to though, so I totally get that.

>>59781570

The more than 70% market share, faggot?

did they fix the stalling?

>>59779793

picotorrent>>>>>all

>>59784092
Consider there are people with upload speeds vastly superior to yours, torrent clients often will prioritize these over slower ones, so by the time they've downloaded 1% of the content from you, they already got the other 99% from some seedbox.

>>59784092
There are connection limits. With default settings a client will only try to connect to ~50 in the swarm, and it will prioritize those it gets the best speeds from. And sometimes you'll have peers that sit in the swarm doing nothing for some reason. I have no idea what's wrong with their clients that they sit there connected but at 0% for ages.
But qBittorrent is also shit at connecting.

>>59784009
seeding describes the state where you leave the torrent open for people to leech (download)
number of peer connections depends on the number of people actually downloading (leeching) the torrent at any given time.

Disregard the other faggot saying to not bother with public trackers.
When using public trackers the thing you're most interested with is the torrent ratio.
It is the ratio amount of data uploaded to downloaded.

So a ratio of 1.0 roughly means you uploaded the entire torrent once (though it could be 2 people downloading half of it).

Torrent etiquette suggests to seed to atleast the ratio of 2.0 according to the meme "if everyone using torrents seeded to the ratio of 2.0 there would be no dead torrents"

>>59784210

I will, I will, calm down faggot. I'm just trying to learn how it's done and why I seem to be doing such a poor job at it now.

When my torrent client reads "5 (3929)", I assume that means that I'm connected to 5 seeders out of a possible 3829. Which is fine, you know, I mean, I'm helping 5 people. That's nice.

>>59784251
It's fine. It comes and goes sporadically. Don't worry about it, just make sure the torrent is active. People will come to it. Like other anon said, just make sure you're establishing a DL/UL seed ratio greater than 1.00.

Incorrect. qBittorrent has more features and runs on more OS's.

>>59779168

WtF is that? Is that supposed to be the Web UI? It doesn't look like it matches qB's desktop UI, not even one bit.

probably bait but I have been a user since v2 and never had this stalled meme.

used it on fuck.. 30 computers or so, with all kinds of connection (mobile, hotspot, wifi, cable), NAT, no NAT, with encryption and without. With proxy and no proxy. hit 150+MB/s speeds up and down.

never a stalled status.
how do you even get this?

>>59784361
>>59784415
Actually no, qBt has all the uTorrent v3 features without the ads and bloat.

> inb4 18MB bloat
It's cross-platform. I am still happier with Qt than fucking Javascript. uTorrent used native Windows API.
Here, just the libtorrent part uses C++. Then the client itself which is C++/Qt.

>>59784273
Whaaat the fuck is "BKAV"?

>>59779849
rtorrent is more advanced. while improvements and fixes are coming to the WebUI, as far as I know it has no dedicated devs working on it.
(its php, fuck that)

>>59784606
uTorrent 2.2.1 connects much better and doesn't come with a botnet search engine.

>>59784797

So you've never seeded?

>>59784818
actually yes ut221 has the same features as 3.5 but without the bloat

>>59779048
qbittorrent or transmission?

>>59784858
I did, I use closed trackers. Both HnR and no HnR trackers. Built up huge buffers on both (used dedicated boxes).

I mean, if you accept both unencrypted AND encrypted connection, it just werks.

>>59784870
Actually uTP received a dozen of updates during the months. If you use TCP though, that does not really matter.

I used 3.2.1 because it had the latest fixes but just like 2.2.1 it decided to "fuck itself" from time to time. So I just moved to qB on all clients.

>>59784885
If remote: Transmission.
If local: qBittorrent

>>59780088
Is µtorrent, faggot.

>>59784899
>uTP
why use throttling tech?

>>59784899
Then how have you never seen "stalled?" That's what qB shows when no one is connected.

>>59784942
I haven't seen the stalled meme happening, as in there are peers, there is demand yet my client refused to connect.

But that never happened.

>>59779967
Wait, they removed it from 3.3.11?

>>59785116
How have you verified there are no peers when your client isn't connected to any?

>>59785237
they show up in the peer list but no transfer is actually being done. happened to me a few times when I tried to seed to myself some sites.

>>59785253
Peer lists aren't necessarily accurate, and public trackers don't have them at all. So what have you checked qBittorrent's connectivity against?

>>59785300
Against "this"?
As I said I hit 100MB/s+ speeds and always maxed out my home connection... so above that, how would you even check and why would you even care?

>>59785355
You check against other clients.

You're on a forum with /ptg/. You weren't aware that there were people who actually cared about maximizing their torrenting performance?

>>59783723
So why even have the option to uncheck files if they will be downloaded anyway?

>>59785413
> maximizing torrent performance
Exactly what I do.
I max out all my connections.

What else could I max out ABOVE THAT?
There is a GEEK SQUAD TUNE for bittorrent clients that let's you use double of your bandwidth? Maybe triple of it, if't an ULTIMATE TUNE?

Or what the fuck exactly mate?!
This all "maximization" sounds audiophile babble to me.

>>59779048
Why is it that every time there's an update for qBittorrent or Deluge I have to reboot my PC to install it? It's the only way I can get the fucking client to actually quit. I can't even close it using End Process in Task Manager or using PowerShell commands.

Since it happens for both apps I assume it's a libtorrent issue but I have no idea how to fix it.

>>59784859
It's free and open source.

>>59785500
Cannot pull stats out of my ass, I am not part of the CN or anything like that. Received prestigious invitations due to my status at some tracker, but never really used them. The more hidden / "elite" trackers had usually less content and it was a lot tougher to stay in.

So. Sure, I will cap a screenshot once I can.
(I usually seed my HnR torrents capped to 5kbps (because I hate HnR systems), and on the other trackers I have special ranks so I don't have to seed.)

Btw if you want to upload, why don't you rent a Kimsufi 2TB Atom for a while, or a seedserver?
Even one month can fill a buffer that is enough forever...

The thing is unkillable.

>>59785172
Yes.

>>59786552
I did, but both the dedi machine and remote installation has been wiped since.
(Also qB only added extensive statistics lately, since 3.2 or something like that.)

>>59786895
(my home qBittorrent is now the oldest, but it only has 1.2TB or so download - since I had to reinstall Windows 10 and will have to again, because the fucking updates fucked up my sound again.)

tl;dr: I will start capping this shit for the threads in future.
There was around 4 dedis lately at one provider, then 2 or so at the previous one.
But when the contract comes to an end I care more about shred and backups than screencapping the client.

>>59779048

It does through the App meme that was introduced back then, ie. through plugins, just like qBT does
>He literally spams his illegal searches across hundreds of insecure sites.
The point it's that you can easily disable the "feature" on either fucking retard
But you can't fix the CVE's on uTorrent 2.2.1

I've been using uTorrent 2.2.1 for years now. I just checked and bakabt doesn't have qBittorent 3.3.12 whitelisted. Should I just stick with uT 2.2.1?

https://bakabt.me/whitelist.php

>>59788814
No, you should get a seedbox running rTorrent or start using Transmission or qBT
uTorrent, up to the 3.x.x series, has a shitton of CVE's that are used to ddos sites and attack Bittorrent swarms

What is /g/'s torrent client history?

My first client was shad0w's experimental client (still remember the stupid name), Then went to utorrent I think, next was azureus before that vuze shit. Now I'm using deluge.

I've tried almost all of them at one point or another.

>Stalled

>>59788827
>using STALLING botnets

>>59788846

>>59788832
bittorrent, bitcomet, azureus, utorrent, some meddling with rtorrent, qbittorrent, and transmission, then eventually setting with qbittorrent for the past few years.

>>59788871

Deluge is literally the same thing as qBittorrent, but shittier
Both use libtorrent, the only difference is the GUI and some configuration

>>59789045
Deluge doesn't stall. That's why it's used on private trackers and qBittorrent isn't.

>>59789107
qBittorrent is whitelisted on every private tracker, just like Deluge
People have claimed that Deluge stalls, but people who use Deluge aren't retarded to blame stalling on the client when their torrents are completely unseeded or pretending torrent queuing is stalling
Both use libtorrent and are subject to all the issues libtorrent has, and libtorrent is what's actually downloading the torrents, qBT is just a Qt GUI for libtorrent, just like Deluge is a GTK GUI for libtorrent
qBT isn't written in Python though, and is much leaner thanks to that

>>59789151
Whether it's whitelisted or not is irrelevant. Vuze is whitelisted. That doesn't mean anybody uses it.
Vuze is bloated and qBittorrent STALLS.

What makes 2.2.1 good? I actually use 2.2.1 for a really long time when uTorrent became commercial, but isn't it terribly outdated now?

>>59791922

Is it because the torrenting technology is essentially unchanged since its creation?

There's plenty of proof, the bitcoin miner was featured everywhere, even public trackers have called out on the CVE's that allow using uTorrent as a DDoS, the last news on the rarbg frontpage is related to this

You aren't an expert on the behavior of your laptop, you're a prefect example of dunning-kruger at it's finest

So far you haven't posted proof of it happening and no one has experienced the same, burden of proof is on you anyways

You keep parroting that it doesn't work because you say so, ignoring ask the proof that it works and presenting zero proof to support your argument, and dismiss well known issues as buzzwords
Guess who's the one with issues
>>59791948
Bittorrent technology has changed a lot since it's creation, but there hasn't been any change in the last 5 years or so
It boils down to features and code quality, it you just want it to work use Transmission
>>59791936
qBT is bigger since it doesn't rely on Windows libraries, allowing it to work on macOS and pretty much any other OS
>>59791979
It's better than the classic BT protocol, since it works with UDP instead of TCP thus avoiding TCP congestion
You should really care about this though, in the vast majority of cases the effects aren't noticeable, just leave it enabled

>>59791948
>What makes 2.2.1 good?
It works, and it doesn't do anything stupid while it's at it.
> isn't it terribly outdated now?
Nothing's been added to the torrent protocol since it was released. It was god-tier when it was released, and it's still god-tier now.

>>59791948

I use 2.0.4. Have been for about a decade now. Has all the features I require, runs super lean, never interferes with my network even when blasting 10 MB/s up hill.

Running it off an XP box, an old Dell 260 w/ a Pentium D 3 GHz & 1 GB DDR RAM off a 20 GB PATA HDD from ~2002, all the torrents from a pair of 2 TB Samsung HDDs from ~2010 over a USB 2 cable. About/almost 3 TB active torrents at the moment. Some torrents have been running for over 5 years,

Been waiting for the system to blow up for about two years or more. Just won't die. Generally up about 2 TB /month. I've downloaded so much shit I have a hard time finding new stuff I'm interested in; if I D/L 300 GB a month these days it's unusual. Have nearly 40 TB of music FLACs archived, about 8 TB anime, a few TB of ebooks and a few movies.

>qBT is bigger since it doesn't rely on Windows libraries, allowing it to work on macOS and pretty much any other OS
ut221 doesn't use 2GB of windows libraries since when you load it with no torrents you only get 3MB or ram.
ut221 was designed for xp.
Windows xp after it's installed can have a size of 1.5GB on the HDD so how can you say ut221 used 2GB of win libraries when the whole OS is not that big?

>>59792139
I didn't said that, the other anon was exaggerating
However if I recall correctly you need one of the many versions of the MSVC runtime for uTorrent 2.x and newer

>>59792158
Sure but it runs on any windows from xp to 10 out of the box.

>mfw 2.2.1

>>59783723
That's a dirty lie
The developers say it is inherent to the bittorrent protocol that unselected files will be downloaded alongside selected ones and there is nothing that can be done
Yet every other torrent client can manage to selectively download files without any issues, or at least be intelligent enough to delete the partly downloaded unwanted files once the selected files have finished downloading

>>59792331
It's a libtorrent issue, not a qBT issue
It also affects Deluge and other clients based on libtorrent

Yeah, because nothing out of the ordinary is happening dumbfuck
Keep trying to hide your retardation by deleting your posts
Also, you're using uTorrent 2.1.1, the two years proof still applies dumbfuck, most uTorrent versions are full of CVE's

not really

yes I am, I use it everyday and this shitty software wakes up my external hard drives.

>you're a prefect example of dunning-kruger at it's finest
again with the buzzwords, I just said this isn't normal behavior on my machine that I use since 2014, how is that dunning-kruger?

>So far you haven't posted proof of it happening
the windows event log and procmon dont show anything out of the ordinary, so what proof? a video of me clicking on a magnet link mixed with the sound of my hard drives waking up? elaborate another solution and I'll post it.

I'm afraid you are, I was expecting a semi-serious answer but you're just some braindead edgelord who keeps pushing a meme software like that Kevin guy with his Solus distro. you should meet up and exchange shill techniques, he's clearly doing a better job.

2.2.1 is unsafe, even the SOCKS5 implementation sucks in it. If you don't care about safety, or you are just plain dumb, use it.

3.2.1 might be an option, or the latest version if you pay. But why would you when there are better alternatives out there?

It isn't, uTorrent 3.x even has an integrated video player, along with other ridiculous things like games

Currently on 3.3.11 until the ppa has an update.
I had this problem in a prior version, then it went away for a while, now it's back.

<Source>
import Java.io.*;
public class Empties
{
private static final String incompletedir = "folderpath";

public static void main(String[] args)
{
File folder = new File(incompletedir);
for (File f : folder.listFiles())
{
if (f.isDirectory() && f.listFiles().length == 0)
{
f.delete();
}
}
}

>>59792755
>qstalledtorrent is the undisputed king of bloat tho

Not at all. uTorrent has more bloat. It has a video player, a voting system, ads, and commenting on torrents.

qBittorrent has zero bloat unless you consider the search feature bloat.

transmission is the only torrent client you should be using. qbittorent is fucking bloatware

>>59792755
What bloat? It has nothing extra

>libtorrent-rasterbar
No thanks, I have standards.

>>59788807
I mean you could, but it's more difficult that doing so with the source code.
What CVE's are on 2.2.1? Genuinely asking.
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-6117/Utorrent.html

>>59792251
Memory leaks and bad caching which leads to artificial HDD usage with a gigabit connection. If you manage to fix those through fiddling with settings, then it's a good client. Meanwhile, qbit works perfectly without touching anything.

noob here, if i update from pacman, will by qbittorrent also get updated?

>>59792573
What safety issues are there with uTorrent 2.2.1?
I know about it's socks5 implementation issues, but I'm just using it with my normal connection.
I'm seeding about 5 thousand torrents on uTorrent 2.2.1 no issues.
Are their alternatives out that can handle large loads of torrents or is uTorrent still my only option? I tested qbittorent years ago and it had issues with massive loads of torrents.
Asking because you say there are better alternatives now.

>>59794126
>>5 thousand torrents

>Not running a seedbox with rtorrrent

>>59794179
I've considered it, but I don't really need a dedicated system eating electricity just to seed torrents when my desktop works just fine.
Also not going to pay to host one somewhere, that's just wasting money.

>>59794179
>>59794227
Also only concerned about utorrent 2.2.1 having security issues that I don't know about/ can prevent.
Another issue is the non default structure of the torrents I'm seeding and how they are in the actual torrent structure.
I know an easy work around are to use symbolic links, but it would take some time to do.
I could probably write a script to identify current utorrent database compare it with individual torrent files and create symbolic links into a torrent directory. Wouldn't be to hard, but not going to do it if their is no reason to switch away from utorrent 2.2.1
