Most annoying bugs for me in 3.1.1...
Posted: Thu Nov 14, 2013 10:42 pm
1) the biggest one : the very bad handling of different locale in a torrent.
If using on the system a non utf locale, and then trying to download a torrent containing files with utf8 characters in their names, you get the message "file not found", and you can't download it.
Well for info ktorrent detects automatically the locale used by any torrent file and converts it if it's needed (and the reason why I keep qbittorrent for now is mainly the ability to download sequentially a torrent).
I finally renamed all my torrent files to utf8 today to avoid this... but it would still be better if it could handle locales better.
2) when sorting by share ratio and having a lot of torrents in the interface, the interface freezes for about 1s for me every second or so. Sorting by name fixes the problem but it seems quite crazy, and the ratios change very slowly of course (this is with the standard interface of course).
3) Also for some unknown reason sometimes qbittorrent decides to recheck almost every torrent when I launch it. I think maybe it does that when I quit a previous instance a little fast (but cleanly, using the quit command). Well, when you have a lot of big torrents, checking them all can take a very long time, and it shouldn't happen so easily.
Also moving the files which are not selected to an .unwanted directory can be troublesome sometimes, is it so hard to just keep them in their normal directory and just ignore them ?
That's all, thanks for the work anyway of course, despite these problems it's still my prefered torrent client with linux for now !
