hi all....dunno if this was discussed, but nobody seems to care too much: using RC5 on W7 32bits. "Limit Download SPEED DOES NOT WORK anymore" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i tried on several torrents and NADA !!!!! i wanted to limit the speed i was downloading at...but REALLY it is not working!!!! regarding upload speed i can't say..as nobody is taking from my torrents;

PLEASE are you aware of that sledge ? or anyone else ?

Works exactly as expected, upload or download speed limit, per torrent or global. (W7 64bit)

And the torrent file with the " slash " doesn't work on mine either or the asian characters, although it displays correctly... it gives the same error on adding to qbittorrent.

loki...good for you, but here it's a no go. I will try to reinstall...

newborn did you check ''apply rate limit to uTp'' in Speed settings? If not do it and try again. This should fix your problem. Its not enabled with default settings and this causes to ignore your set speed limits.

Nemo...you just made my day !!!!! all GOOD now

Have another issue i DID NOT have on built 2.9.7....when i close the application...and want to re-open....well i does not open again the first time nor the second...i must click at least 3/4/5 time to reopen again....what the ??  My shortcut is in the program panel if that helps

The proprieties are:

target: "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe"
start i: "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent"

Noone seems to have this issue. again 2.9.7 was good for me...but .11 and V3.0 RC5 have THIS issue !!!
Any solution NEMO

And regarding the HUGE problem many have at startup regarding "stalled torrents" that don't activate....what is the situation ?

Perhaps you're simply trying to re-open the program before the process has finished closing in the background?
Check for qbittorrent.exe in Windows Task Manager's processes window.

tomaso...could be that indeed....SEEMS that sometimes the application runs longer that what i would have tought (almost 10 seconds!)....humm ohh well

The time it takes for qBittorrent to shut down depends on the number of active torrents/connections.
All connections needs to be properly closed, otherwise qBittorrent wouldn't know where to resume upon next launch, and all torrents would need to be rechecked.

that's what i tought after testing with different torrents...thanx for the info!

Also, I see that there's a fix in the upcoming libtorrent v0.16.3 that might improve on qBittorrent's shutdown time:

[quote="libtorrent SVN"]fix race condition causing shutdown hang[/quote]

tomaso...so i was NOT paranoid !

Well, don't get your hopes up.
The fix MIGHT improve upon your "problem", but then again; it might NOT!
It could be targeting an entirely different issue all together.
..a permanent freeze issue under certain circumstances perhaps.
Longer shutdown times when handeling large amounts of torrents is something that applies to ALL torrent clients.
