"Not a bencoded file" error on tracker upload

Howdy y'all. After I updated to the latest edition of Qbittorrent I have been getting this error on Waffles. Is there an easy fix for this issue?

I experience problems with created torrents aswell. Latest v3.0.6 for Windows does not seem to create correct torrent files.
I've ha no problems with previous versions. I had to create a new torrent file with uTorrent which worked properly.
uTorrent created torrent file was almost double the size of the qBitorrent created file, something is not right..
Any torrents I have created with qBitorrent v3.0.6 have been so far been rejected by trackers because of errors.

I can confirm. You cannot even add it to qbt. qbt rejects the torrent with various messages about the bencoded data. I suspect a bug in libtorrent. I will make a bug report in qbt.

Don't thank me, I'm only quoting the libtorrent changelog.
I don't even know if those fixes will do anything for this exact problem, it just sounds like they could.

I will try out the RC_0_16 branch and report back if it has been fixed upstream.

Nope. It isn't fixed in the RC_0_16 branch.

Thanks for the input! Looks like I have to go back to v3.0.4/3.0.5 until the issues are fixed.

sledgehammer_999's qBittorrent v3.0.5 was built on the same libtorrent version as v3.0.6, which is v0.16.4.
..so if going back to v3.0.5 fixes it, then this is probably a qBittorrent bug.
qBittorrent v3.0.4 was built on libtorrent v0.16.3 though.

And I was coming here to comment on the same thing. qBittorrent 3.0.5 works so something changed in 3.0.6 and introduced a regression.
It probably involves the fix for the issue #133
