Restarting DLs after VPN ppp reconnect?
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 5:38 am
First off, I must say that I really love qbittorrent. I dumped Vuze for qbt and will never look back - thanks for the excellent program!
The only problem I have is related to my VPN. I have qbt's network interface set to ppp0 so all of the traffic stops when the VPN's ppp connection is lost. That works perfectly. However, when the VPN auto-reconnects (usually several seconds later), the traffic does not resume until I stop and re-start qbt. Sometimes the VPN drops minutes after I leave the machine and it goes several hours with no traffic until I notice and restart qbt. Although it only drops perhaps once a day on average, I would sure like to have a way for qbt to test ppp0 and resume traffic when it comes back.
Is there any way I can do this? If not, may I please suggest it as a future improvement? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
