Bug - Network issue: Persistent Input/Output errors even after reconnecting

Post by s1l3nce »

qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: v4.6.5 (64-bit)
Operating system: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 x64
Qt: 6.4.3
Libtorrent: 2.0.11.0
Boost: 1.85.0
OpenSSL: 1.1.1w
zlib: 1.3.1

What is the problem?
This is my current setup: I store my downloads locally on a hard drive, and once they're completed, they get moved to my NAS automatically.

The issue I'm facing is that whenever there's a connection problem, or if I simulate one, I start getting continuous input/output (I/O) errors. These errors don't go away even after I fix the connection. They only stop if I close and reopen qBittorrent. Strangely enough, the client keeps uploading data, even though these errors won't stop showing.

Steps to reproduce
Open qBittorrent: Launch qBittorrent and start any data sharing activity (downloading or uploading).
Simulate a connection issue:
Disable your network adapter to cut off the internet connection.
Re-enable your network adapter to restore the internet connection.
Monitor for Errors: Check the qBittorrent log for input/output (I/O) errors. These errors usually start appearing within a minute. Sometimes even immediately after restoring the connection.
Once the I/O errors begin, they will continue to show up until you close and reopen qBittorrent.

Thanks for the help!

Btw, this was completely solved after an update, so it was most likely a version issue.
