Seeds & Peers & 666?!

Post by TomSwiftSenior »

I downloaded and installed qbittorrent_4.6.0_x64 yesterday (Oct. 23rd) and now I have a large number of torrents (from different sites!) that ALL have Seeds and Peers numbering 666!

I know it is near Halloween, but what the heck?!

I have the same problem, but o certain trackers only - private ones, that is.
Any idea/solutions etc ?

Just noticed this on my system today. Mine were all from one private tracker that has a whitelist of allowed torrent clients. Since it just released, they haven't added Qbit 4.6 to the whitelist yet, so they wouldn't allow the connection and displayed the seed/peer numbers as 666 to indicate that. Reverting to Qbit 4.5.5 solved the issue for me.

I'd suggest checking if any of the sites you're getting that from have client whitelists, and if they do, either roll back or just wait a few days to see if they add it (depending on how much you care about getting back to seeding immediately).

THANK YOU for that information.

I'll wait a week or so before I try to install Qbit 4.6 again.
