It asks me for a label and I have the option to check 'add to top of queue', ' start torrent' and 'skip harsh check'. These probably don't have that big of a deal to do with it but I checked 'add to top of queue' and 'start torrent'.

It says time remaining infinity so I don't think it will ever start. As you can probably tell, i am very new to BitTorrent and I need to download this! I have done some research, about seeds and things, but I have no idea what to do. Hopefully you can help! Also if it means anything, I'm on a mac! Thanks in advance! Please, if you haven't, provide your download locations in relation to the machine running qBittorrent.

It looks like this might be something to do with SMB, or some implementation of it. Also, the steps to reproduce in the OP are not useful, because many thousands of people do exactly that, and it works fine for them. Currently I run qbittorrent and save the files on a USB-connected drive, and I have not seen the issue in a very long time over a year. WoW, 2 years and it is still a bug Having the same issues.

But for really large downloads multiple files I need to re-check it multiple times. I run it to download for my Plex server. Files are being saved over SMB. When the video is being played, it crashes or quits playback. Rechecking the torrent for a single file usually fixes it.

But whole series with 24 files, usually means more than one Re-check. Can you confirm the affected file is really incomplit at this point? Maybe it's just shown as incomplete due to some bug? Same here, 4. This is a serious issue, plagueing the app for years, is it just deliberately ignored? For years? Never encountered it. And apparently none of the contributors either. And no reliable "steps to reproduce" are provided here. That's probably why it can't be fixed. OK, we just made it up.

Never mind this thread and a bunch of similar ones. I didn't make any steps to come to it, and if i knew what configuration and environment settings lead to this issue i wouldn't bother commenting, i'd just fix it. Apparently a great many users manage to reproduce it, whether they want it or not mostly not. No need to be so combative. I'm experiencing the same issue. In my case, I've got qbitorrent installed on an Ubuntu After that it worked as it should. But worth a shot. I encounter such problems especially when downloading lots of torrents at the same time.

Whenever I encounter such problems, the problem can always fixed by rechecking the torrent, but it was slow. Recently I found an alternative method. I toggled the list of files to download or changed their priority, and then all stalled torrents suddenly start downloading until they become "Seeding" which should mean that they are fully downloaded.

Also if its downloading more then 1 file, i have to wait for all files to download, so i can re check them 1 at a time, do i need to change programs or is there a fix, because this is not aceptable. For context, I'm running qbit 4.

I don't think the virtualization or virtio-9p is a factor Here you need to click on the Change Setting option, you will get this option on the right corner.

Scroll down to locate the Torrent option and mark the Public and Private options. Then click on Save. When the cause of the issue is an outdated tracker, the solution is to update it. To update the tracker, click on the file you want to download and then click on Update Tracker. That is all you have to do. If this method does not work, remove the tracker that is not working and relaunch it. If you have uTorrent, then to remove the tracker, open the app and select the not working tracker.

Right-click on it and then click on the Remove Tracker option. Follow the same step to remove all the non-working trackers. When the port does not work correctly, you can run the tests and adjust the necessary settings.

For that, open the app and go to Options. Few options would display; out of them, click on Setup Guide. Then lastly click on Run Test. When you do so, the torrent client will start checking and adjusting the network connection.

It should fix the downloading issue; if not, then the reason for the problem might be something else. We talked about how the in-client protocol encryption interrupts the downloading through torrents. At the time you face this issue, then you can change the setting. There on the left side, you will see a white menu with lots of options. There you can find your torrent client, say, Torrent option. When you click on it, a screen will display.

Under the Protocol Encryption dialogue, change the outgoing setting from Disabled to Enabled. Save the settings, and your problem will be resolved. To fix the downloading issue, you can also set the download speed to maximum. On the left vertical menu, select the Bandwidth option. There you will find the Maximum Download Rate Limiting option , change the speed that suits your connection speed.

The following way to fix the torrent download issue is by changing the incoming port setting. You can find the option in the preferences box. Again, on the left vertical menu, you can find the Connection option. Click on it. In front of the Random Port option, you can find the number value, increase or decrease it by one.

It helps you to know whether the issue is with the network or not. It allows you to connect to the seeders promptly. Then click on the Ok option to save the changes. If all the above methods fail to resolve the issue with your download, then chances are of dead torrent or the file may not be working at all.

We have already discussed how torrenting is based on peers-to-peers connection. So by chance, if the seeds of a file are reduced, the torrent file becomes dead. And hence it is the file that can not be downloaded. So to fix it, check for the alternative torrent file, which has sufficient seeds. The pirate bay is one of the trustworthy and reliable torrent websites.

Here you can find most of the working and genuine files to download. Whether it is music or a movie, everything is available here. If you have an antivirus in your system, the chances are that it interrupts the downloading through torrents.

The procedure of allowing the torrent clients through antivirus software can be different for different kinds. You can google the method by typing the keyword.
