Is there any way of reducing the number of writes, and therefore stress, that qBittorrent makes to disk? Specifically an SSD drive. I realise downloading will inevitably require writing to the disk. But I understand that the way torrents are written could dramatically reduce the lifecycle of an SSD ...

Re: Update Windows SmartScreen says infected so does VT / Comodo

I've extracted qbittorrent_4.5.3_x64_setup.exe with 7-Zip and used VirusTotal to scan the files individually: uninst.exe - 2 detections https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/cef494ffb2394af414f708a0a28f5cd02b8c1f0764f725d8fc669ac286058c31 nsisFirewallW.dll - 1 detection https://www.virustotal.com/gui/...

Exactly which file is being detected as infected and where did you download the file from? Here are my findings from VirusTotal: qbittorrent_4.6.0alpha1_lt20_qt6_x64_setup.exe - No detections https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4c7cf5b85be7a68fb674ee97f68c4e5ea1527f1589c2d95847a0205bbc21f976 qbittor...

Re: 4.5.0 color scheme is... ugh
