So I am using Qbit for about 12 months , never had a problem to download any update . But with this one I cant download it. When I click on download it just jumps to blank page with 403 Forbidden nginx error. I tried turning off all the antivirus apps , I have site in exceptions in my add blocks. I tried to download from google, edge , opera and still nothing . I have no idea what to do now.

Yeah I get the same error.
But Sledgehammer says it works for them.
So I don't know.

Same problem here. I tought my ISP blocked it but I'm getting it on PC, iPad, Android on lan and cellular too. On my PC I cannot even stay on the version page, with other devices i'm only getting blocked when trying to download.

If you can't grab the latest update, go here (Download page):
https://www.qbittorrent.org/download
Then click "(Additional download options)".
From the table, pick the Sourceforge links.

Had to rename it back to exe and then said this to me:
"This version doesnt run on your computer."
Now the installer wont run, telling me to contact the makers.

Are you using a 32-bit Windows by any chance? or arm64?
