Remains in stalled state after VPN interface drops and recovers

Post by jimmy »

Using qB v3.1.4 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

For reference, I am having the exact problem described here over a year ago:
http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topi ... ml#msg3723

In summary, I tie qBittorrent to the VPN interface (ppp0) and all is fine until the VPN drops.  As expected (and desired) all traffic goes into a "stalled" state while the VPN is down.  I run a script to monitor and re-kick the VPN so it comes back up within a couple seconds.  qBittorrent never restarts sending/receiving traffic when the VPN resumes.  A manual restart of qB through the GUI solves the problem but that means I can't run it unattended. 

As a last resort, I would even accept a way to force a restart from the command line.  I could write a script to restart qB whenever the VPN is reset.  I could also just run a cron job to kill and restart periodically, whether it needed it or not.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am having this same issue.  I'm running version 3.0.11 on Xubuntu 13.10

I have used the advanced settings to force qBittorrent to use a VPN connection at ppp0. As long as the VPN connection is stable, everything is fine.  But when the VPN connection drops for whatever reason, all torrents go into a stalled state even after the VPN connection is restored. The only solution seems to be exiting qBittorrent and restarting.

I've done a search of the forums and I've seen a couple of posts by others with this issue, but no replies.  Any suggestions on how I might resolve this issue would be appreciated.
