Lack of port forwarding will affect only a tiny minority of cases, it's very unlikely to be the cause of a systematic problem.

I recently changed Preferences->Downloads->"Default Save Path" and nothing moved - it just applied to new torrents. This was on FreeBSD though.

It seems very unlikely that failed searches have anything to do with port forwarding.

My understanding is that 5(9) would mean that you are connected to 5 and that a total of 9 has been reported by trackers and DHT. I just keep the ones that I think deserve preserving. I also take account of how likely it is that there will be an alternative torrent. The problem with using the number...

I wouldn't like to see this implemented as it would make it hard to spot serious problems.

In public torrents, trackers not working is really common and very unimportant. In private torrents it's usually a short lived problem that we can't do anything about.

Commonly files don't align with bittorrent parts, so qbittorrent has to download and store the overlap in a hidden file - small files are often stored entirely. These files are deleted when the torrent is removed. Deleting unwanted files on completion is dangerous because QB makes it really easy to ...

This is handled the way you want if you mark a file as "do not download" before any part of that file has downloaded.

Is it just that you entered your ordinary password, rather than an "app password"?

It doesn't do that - it may have the opposite effect. The point of it is to reduce file system fragmentation on most filesystems.

If the space were allocated at the point of queuing it would cause some people to run out of space unnecessarily. It could also cause files to be pre-allocated before being set as "do not download". Doing the pre-allocation as late as possible seems like a good idea to me. Is it really suc...

So what's the problem?

I've not seen "no direct connection" so I had to look it up and I'm still unclear exactly what it's testing- if it's to do with incoming connections it's poorly named. I vaguely remember another client where an an icon would go green on the first successful incoming connection, which seems...

I don't know if this is the same thing, or even if it is true, but I have heard it said that some online streaming sites are proxying torrents rather that storing the files locally.

Have you tried renaming the existing entry?

I'm saying that IMO it doesn't work - there's no technical reason why it should.
