>>52924666
Ever qbit thread has about 70% of it dedicated to people calling it shit. Yet you still went to install it.
Why do fucking faggots like you keep doing this? /g/ is calling shit it must be super elite actually. It works for those 4 guys apparently, the others must all be retards, I can be elite too.
>bawww it's shit fuck you /g/ I fell for teh meem
Go eat dicks.
>>52924744
Actually /g/ was saying it was great and they will do the same in this thread I bet.
qBittorrent is a /g/ troll like when we tell people to delete system32 or install chinese antivirus.
>>52924770
Fuck off every thread has faggots calling it complete shit for those reasons you listed and more. You just decided to ignore it.
>>52924666
Why not deluge? It's been pretty stable and has ok speed for me. No shitty things involving your computer either.

im convinced qBittorrent hate threads (which are like, a regular thread for some reason? wtf??) are just utorrent devs shilling. ive had qbt installed on a bunch of machines for a while now and have had literally zero problems. you have to be a complete fucking retard to have trouble with it. stop spamming these stupid fucking threads we dont need 2 threads about qbittorrent every day you fucking spastic cunts. if you hate it so much just dont use it you fucking idiots

Just use what you want had no problems with qb. Anyway I'm currently using deluge there are plenty of good clients except utorrent.

>>52926173
Literally none of this applies to me.
Everything "just works". Seriously, I have not had a single problem with Debian or any of the so called "meme programs".
And if I don't know how to do something or am confused it just requires one quick look at the faq or just googling the problem to get the answer I need within a couple of minutes.
>>52924666
same thing happened here. Had to hard restart Ubuntu (it got hanged, happens sometimes). Next reboot - all my torrents are gone.
I'm really furious now, any alternatives to qBittorrent?
>>52926173
Are you literally retarded? Nothing is wrong with qBittorrent. You people always complain about how terrible it is, but no evidence has ever been provided. OP was fucking stupid and doesn't know how to close programs, so of course something went wrong for him.
>>52926312
Uh, what?
I've hard shutdown my computer (Xubuntu) lots of times, many while downloading shit in qBittorrent and the worst that has happened is that qBit has had to check the torrent before starting the download again.
Been using qbit for years on windows, I have never had a single problem with it. You're probably just shit at computering.
>>52926312
Deluge.
So many people here recommend deluge, but I can't choose and pick which files from the torrent I want with it.
>>52927263
>I can't choose and pick which files from the torrent I want with it.
Of course you can, just not with magnet links, same as any client. Deluge is still shit though.
>>52925964
No, it really doesn't. I fell for it like OP. Torrent randomly stops for an hour all the time. uTorrent 2.2.1 it is.
>>52927385
I've never once ran into literally any issue at all with it, so the problem is on your end.
Why don't you fix your system's faults rather than blame the software?
ITT: Autists that don't realize "stalled" simply means the torrent has no seeds.
>>52927326
You can with qBit if you think waiting for metadata to load is better than unselecting files after the torrent starts downloading
>>52927699
Why is uTorrent not stalling while qBittorent is?
>>52927966
I don't know, what does uTorrent say when a torrent has no peers?
>>52927385
>No, it really doesn't. I fell for it like OP. Torrent randomly stops for an hour all the time. uTorrent 2.2.1 it is.
This has literally never happened to me.
And I have used it extensively.
If Qbittorent works so poorly for you why don't you just switch? Why do you need to keep making threads about it and calling it a meme?
Just switch - no one cares what you're using.
>>52926122

What do mongoloids like you get out of propagating deprecated, compromised and never to be patched software? There are plenty of other torrent clients, not just utorrent and qbittorrent.
You're a brain damaged piece of shit that's spreading misinformation and causing vulnerabilities with your mental diarrhea, do the world a favor and kill yourself.
If you don't like qbittorrent or if it doesn't work for you, there's transmission, deluge, vuze and (ugh) tixati, and that's just on windows. There's absolutely no logical reason to use utorrent in this day and age.

there is LITERALLY a single autist, the OP, on a quest to discredit Qbittorent for absolutely no legitimate reason
he brings it up out of fucking nowhere with the same meme criticisms. Its often yet spread out enough that I know its one consistent poster and not a small group of retarded people
jesus christ fuck off
>>52930720
Enjoy your vulnerability so others can encrypt your files. :)
>Windows
Found your problem. Stop using superior software hindered by a shit OS.
Deluge got one mayor flaw for me. It can't open torrent folder on double clicking,but instead goes one folder up and you have manualy to find it. Drove me mad. Qbit is totally ok, only its ugly.
>>52930787
Fucking this. I don't even know why people Even consider Windows these days. No, gaymez and Adobe shitware don't count. Your art/hipster garbage isn't a real job.

qBit is god.
Also, some trackers don't support anything but qBit, so there's also that.

I wish there was a Windows version of Transmission because the Mac port is by far my favorite for being lightweight with a clean interface.
>>52933104
I used transmission daemon on a small seedbox, p.cool for simple torrenting, just works and getting job done.
>>52924906
Same here
No issues but then again I don't have over a hundreds torrents going at once either.
And why the fuck did you switch if you had no problem with utorrent? Are you trying to be trendy or just retarded?
>>52924666
I've never had a problem with qbittorrent, ymmv.
>>52933104
>I wish there was a Windows version of Transmission
There is a Windows version out there. It's called Transmission Qt. It's not official, but it works.
There's an official version coming with 2.90, as well, and it will probably become the only Windows version.
>>52932434
Windows works just fine, qbittorent too.
I've installed qbittorent on a few win7, some 8.1 and a bunch of 10's, works on the pre-release 10, on w2008r2, w2012r2 and the w2016 technical preview.
At least it worked when I tried it.
So I think our comrade is either shilling for utorrent, a retard or has bad luck.
>>52924666
Why would you lie on the internet?
>>52926312
>>52926353
It's a thing that has happened 1-2 times now. The shutdown process hangs, it says that the CPU Core #2 is stuck. Won't shut down unless I make a hard shutdown. qBittorrent was blank, had to reload every single torrent, had to recheck them, and now they're loaded again.
I'm attaching a screenshot as a proof, if someone wouldn't believe me.
By the way I like qBittorrent, but this is absolutely unacceptable. One wrong shutdown, and all my torrents are gone? Laughable.
>>52933613
>It's a thing that has happened 1-2 times now. The shutdown process hangs
This is a known problem that isn't fixed at all even for months and months.

This happened to me twice on qBittorrent after shutting down Windows and I switched to Transmission Qt, which never loses a torrent or settings.
>>52933221

>>52936045
But you have to use a Qt version on Windows don't you, and Qt is shit. And it's an unofficial build.
Deluge is the best for Windows I've come across. Lightweight, does everything it needs to do, stable as fuck. It's what I always recommend to friends / normies because it's so easy to install and use.
>>52936135
>But you have to use a Qt version on Windows don't you, and Qt is shit. And it's an unofficial build.
If I can use Transmission Qt on the top 10 private trackers in the world, it will work for your shitty public trackers.
qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rtorrent, and aria2 are the ONLY acceptable clients.
>Not using superior aria2 with webui to torrent
>>52938606
>no RSS
>>52938606
>tfw already been using aria2 for years
Should've used transmission
Utorrent is easily the best torrent client by far.
However it does have dumb shit like ads and malware installers which makes untrustworthy.
If Utorrent were ever made open source and got rid of all that crap, everyone would drop their current client for it, because it's that much better than any other client.
Only issue here is when starting it up. Usually takes a minute to be "usable". Thing is I have an SSD and I could reboot windows 5 times in the time it takes to load qBittorrent
