qBittorrent official forums

Dear All,
I 've been update qBittorrent to version 5.0.0

Everything was working fine!
After 24H2 Windows update, I formatted my PC to perform a clean installation of 24H2.
After I install qBittorrent I select some files from search window.
When pressing right-click on them and then "Download", I get the following error in the bottom right of screen.



I tried everything but couldn't fix it.
Can anyone please help me how to fix this?

Thank you very much!

I'm having the same issue, its the new update 5.0.

I had to uninstall 5.0 and find a site that was hosting 4.6.7, then installed that version. Works perfectly.

Looks like the consensus on the forums is 5.0 is basically broken.

Good luck.

No, consensus is acute PEBKAC.

> dark theme
People wanted dark theme, it was added, it defaults to Qt theme. "I don't like it." Cool.
There are a dozen awesome looking third-party themes. "No. I want the old look back!"
Cool, now they have the old white theme that they despised so much for years.
\o/

(Seriously, if you want dark theme, check the custom themes out.)

> can't download
Port forward/firewall. Fix it and you are good.

> search plugins don't work part 1
People installed custom plugins that did not receive any updates and that broke things.
Remove them all and you can grab the latest plugin bundle via the program.

> search plugins don't work part 2
People have been running qB since Windows XP on the same PC and now they have Python installed from the stone age.
If they remove it and install a new one, the plugin installation will be fixed.

As our favorite zoomers would say, "skill issue".

Dear friend,
Indeed it worked!
I unistall the 5.0.0 version and install the 4.6.7.

It works fine!!
Thank you very much for your help!

Dear All,

Can anyone please help me, what I must do to fix the following error (if it is possible).



In the version 4.6.7 it works fine!
I download the new version 5.0.1 believing that the problem would be fixed but unfortunately not.

It's a matter of settings or something else?

Thank you very much!

Same here. As soon as I upgraded to v5.0.3.

Same here. I also noticed the pause/resume all option is missing as well. I also downgraded to a 4 series. Now things work again.

Oh, I'm a Linux user so this seems to affect all platforms, not just Windows.

It's the same option as start/stop, it was just renamed.

For the add failed, it's the new association. It's a good question why it fails though.

Well, the missing part is "all". I have the old version installed now so I can't check again but the only way I could pause all torrents was to select the All tab, highlight all torrents with ctrl A and then click pause. The old way, I just go to the edit menu and select pause all or use Ctrl + shift + p. I have to do extra steps to pause all torrents before closing QB with new version. I thought maybe it was hidden but the ctrl + shift + p doesn't work in new version. The option is missing under the edit menu as well. Maybe it was removed by mistake during the rename process????

I finally found a way to do this that requires little effort. I put my mouse pointer over the All under Status on the left. I then right click and select either start or stop torrents. That works the same as the stop all and start all option in older versions. I can work with this.

One reason this is important, if my power fails, I need to shutdown pretty soon. QB takes a little bit to fully close. I think it updates the resume files as to where it is leaving off for each torrent. I see a lot of activity on my /home partition. I try to let it finish before shutting down and every bit of time can count.

I might add, QB seems to be more efficient or something. It doesn't use quite as much memory as it used to either. I have 128GBs so I just let it use whatever it needs but it can be nice for those with much smaller amounts of ram.

I do still get that Add torrent failed message here at times. Mostly with magnet links I think.
