qbittorrent stopped working

Post by fatandsweaty »

My qBittorrent program went from downloading at about 8Mb per second to about 8Kb per second. I had been using it for about 3 months with no problems the one day this. I turned all my fire walls off and uninstalled my antivirus software, uninstalled qBittorrent then re-installed it and the same thing. I tried a different torrent program Vuze and it works fine thought I really prefer qBittorrent. I wonder if anyone can help me. Thanks

At the bottom of your qBittorrent window you will see a small icon that looks like a speed indicator beside the connection status icon. Make sure you havent mistakenly switched it over to the alternative speed, just click on it, the speed hand should be facing to the right, if its to the left thats the alternative speed. If thats not it, go into Options and click on the Speed tab, and set your upload and download speeds to 0 (which is unlimited) or put what ever limit you want it at and also set the alternative speeds to where you want them at. Hope this helps.

This happened to me as well. I have two pc´s, one desk side and one laptop, both connected via fibre ( 1Gb/s). I use Windows 11 with latest updates on both. I use HideAway from Firetrust as VPN-client. With VPN connected I get a speed of 600-900 kb/s on both pc´s.
qBittorrent has worked fine on both for some time. Now not working since some weeks.

qBittorrent is a popular torrent downloader with a variety of functions and an easy-to-use interface. It offers a dependable and effective method of managing and downloading torrents. When compared to VUSE, qBittorrent is frequently chosen because to its ease of use and absence of associated bloatware. Give it a go; you might be surprised at how much better it works.Fm whatsapp

Thanks for the pointer. I did accidently turned on the speed limiter which caused this issue in my qBittorrent. Now it's solved after setting it to 0.

- Always do your port forward by hand. Make sure your router's port forward is set up and your PC is getting the IP you forward to.
- Always make sure you don't have ANY kind of software firewall blocking qBittorrent. Make SURE to whitelist qBittorrent in all and every firewall you use.
