>>110120316>Coming more than five months after qBittorrent 5.2, the qBittorrent 5.3 release introduces an option to match all share limits, support for widely used image types in the HTTP server, support for banning IP ranges, logging of IP ban alerts, support for the “so” magnet link parameter, and an option to toggle closing search tabs with middle-click.>qBittorrent 5.3 also adds I2P PeX settings, support for filtering the torrent list by infohash, settings for I2P inbound/outbound length variance, a “Copy path” option in the Content tab, “Queued tracker announces” session metric, scroll bars to the Statistics dialog, and a “Contribution” column to the Peers list.>On top of that, this release adds tooltips to email notification Options fields, a new “Ignore dotfiles” option in the Torrent Creator dialog, a “Maximum outstanding block requests from a peer” setting, an allow_multiple_connections_per_pid advanced setting, and a seeding_outgoing_connections libtorrent setting.>Starting with this release, qBittorrent no longer overwrites the configuration file when it has no write permission, enhances filename validation, allows the monochrome tray icon to follow color mode, supports multiple recipients for email notifications, and exposes libtorrent settings to the WebTorrent STUN server.>qBittorrent 5.3 also improves the “Deletion confirmation” dialog, creates a group for status bar-related settings, adds a “Force start torrents” option to filter context menus, improves the management of torrent content, revamps .torrent file backup management, and makes the Torrent Options dialog scrollable.>The WebUI web-based interface received numerous changes, including virtual list by default, support for viewing free disk space in the Add Torrent window, new “Select All” and “Invert Selection” options, a “Pread/pwrite” disk IO type option, support for cross-origin links to webroot, and a secondary sort column.
>>110120327>Among other noteworthy changes, qBittorrent 5.3 relaxes the plugin versioning rule, adds support for detecting redundant quotes from Python executable paths, references torrent “seed mode” by its exact name, adds a button to open the Default Apps settings on Windows, and sets the system tray icon color based on the Windows color scheme.

>>110120529>> never seed?
>>110120625they are edgy

>>110120301Based and many useful addons-pilled
>>110120529>never seedPost nose
Or just don't update it, dummy
>>110120731>Or just don't update it, dummythe smart play is to only update to the versions that come before a major update like 5.2.4
>>110120301uptdoot done
>>110121012>NOTICE for heavy seeders: The new default libtorrent backend (2.1.x series) is known to have worse read performance compared to the 1.2.x series, which will affect your upload speed. So if you are a heavy seeder you may want to choose the version based on the 1.2.x series. Some details can be found here.
>>110121038>heavy seeders
>>110120301>tfw just updooted to 5.2.4 yesterdaywtf slow down
vibe-code coded
>>110120301>open stats>there is no more cache hit % anymore and the buffer is now just 1 mbwhat? did they get rid of the built in cache buffer entirely? why?
>>110121275kys, nobody gives a shit.
>>110120301But I use Trannymission.
>>110120301huuuh?
>>110120852this was just common sense back then, now it's some magic factoid hidden knowledge for zoomies
>>110121432Sounds like a you problem.
>>110121432install it yourself
>>110121585confirm if this is real: >>110121263
>>110120327I have two questions:(1) is the webUI still laggy as fuck with a thousand torrents(2) is the memory consumption of the container for large seeders still absurd
>>110121626yes it's real it just tells you exactly what it will do:>box uncheckedremove torrent>box checkedremove torrent and contentthe poster is a tard
>>110120301Don't care, still using uTorrent 3.4.3
>>110120529>Only paid thing you need is a VPNNot if you don't live in a third world country with ISPs that rape you every time you download a no no thing.
>>110121689poster here. that's what I said
>>110121392>not using retransmissionLMAO @ur LYFE
>>110121139if you wait a month or so you can jump straight into a less buggy ~5.3.2
>>110120399what is better than torrents for piracy?nb4 some pay2pirate nonsense
>>110120301Did they add the ability to communicate back to an -arr container that a torrent will not be downloaded?
>>110123035Depends on what you're looking for. Some DC++ hubs are great for certain things, even IRC XDCC bots can still be good, usenet... it just depends. Japanese P2P like perfectdark still has its uses too.
>>110123422>DC++I'll concede DC++ for comics ever since 32p died, RIP>IRC XDCC botsneat throwback, but they have smaller libraries and worse curation. Sometimes useful but generally inferior>usenetI'm too lazy to steal API keys and I''m not paying. Also all their content comes from scene or P2P sources, they have tons of DMCA takedowns because indexes are too popular or content gets deleted because the index is too secret and not enough people downloaded it. >perfectdark not sure how much of their stuff has eng subs, not sure how useful it'd be to me since I don't speak or read jappanese
>>110120301Updooted
>>110123583
Still haven't gotten it on OpenSUSE...
>>110120301why should I bother? 5.0.4 still works great?
>>110120301Manually update? You retarded faggots. Watchtower does that for me automatically
I'll probably skip this one and wait for 5.3.1 or 5.3.2. If the issues page pops off on those then 5.3.3
>>110123650>She doesn't build her own containers from sourcehttps://pastebin.com/raw/CNJy1rm8
I have it pinned in my package manager so I dont accidentally update before it's whitelisted
How many updates does a torrent client really need? It is not like the protocol has changed all that much in 20 years plus.
>>110124071now is the time to update to 5.2.4, wait 6 months to update to the latest bugfix in the 5.3.x branch. You're correct that nothing big enough to bother updating to the latest x.y.0 release is happening
>>110124071Bittorrent v2 was a massive update to the protocol actually and that only happened in the 2020s and has only really just started to take off in clients like QBittorrent.
>>110124101>v2yeah, if you use this I2P or the webUI then maybe the changes are worth updating to the latest release
>>110124101Literally no tracker supports it
>>110124310it makes a little bit of a difference for people dropping magnets over on >>>/t/ but yeah otherwise not super useful and completely useless for >>>/g/ptg fags such as myself
>>110121734have some grace for britbongs man they wanna watch movies like the rest of us
>>110123638>why should I bother? 5.0.4 still works great?dumb winfag
>>110124310GOOD
>>110121038>try libtorrent 1.2>get more upload consistentlyDunno if that's because of the read speeds or different versions but I'm surprised.
>>110121038>>110126269no difference on my machine except checking torrents, v2 seems to be using CPU and disk more efficiently
>>110120301>includes libtorrent 2.1.2fucking FINALLYhere's hoping it doesn't completely shit the bed on writing to SMB like libtorrent 2.0 did
The only thing you should ever pay for to pirate is a vpn if you live in a goyslave country. Usenet (including the best private indexers) is complete dogshit compared to private trackers.
>>110127885>here's hoping it doesn't completely shit the bed on writing to SMB like libtorrent 2.0 didit's not ready yet
>>110120399extremely potent bait
>>110124310I specifically switched to qbittorrent because I needed a v2 capable client to download the PS2 library torrents from ggn, they're two separate torrents of ~1.5TB each
>>110128000wait really? All my ggn torents work fine with v1, are they hybrid?
>>110128038nevermind, apparently I'm retardedor just thinking of some other huge torrent I downloaded at some pointprobably both
>>110128000Okay when I said literally none I just meant the two that I use, AB and Nyaa. I was not aware there were trackers actually implementing it. What tracker software does it use?
>>110128085>>110128076Reeeeeeeeeee
>>110128038>>110128076>>110128085apparently I'm half retarded, I did switch from utorrent 2.2.1 to qbit to download the PS2 library, but not due to v2 torrentsseems 2.2.1 had a limitation of 65536x16mb pieces on torrents, so wouldn't accept torrent files that go above those limits
>>110121369so... still nobody knows anything about this?still cannot find any info whatsoever on such a significant change, no mention of it in the changelog either, weird.
>>110128287LT2.1 has some new disc IO stuff under the hood, maybe it has something to do with that? IDK, I'm just guessing>>110127612>except checking torrents, v2 seems to be using CPU and disk more efficientlythis is the first reason I've seen that makes me want to try LT2.1 again
>>110123638>why should I bother?you _shouldn't_ unless you've read the changelogs. which is what you should (probably) do.>5.0.4 still works great?if true, stick to it. i'm uninterested in trying to sell you on the newer versions if 5.0.4 is still serving you well.
>>110124310Many do, you're just not aware of them.>Name them.No. They're not all private, by the way.
>>110128405Yeah I did read them. The webui updates sound interesting, but not something I need at the moment. The only issue I do have is it's very slow to exit. I always manually close it before reboots so it's not that often, but still.
>>110128779>The only issue I do have is it's very slow to exit. I always manually close it before reboots so it's not that often, but still.there's a setting for that
>check to see if my 20-year old install of utorrent still works>*checks*>it does>install opensores linux slop: negatorysorry haha i'm just not gonna
>>110129372>20-year old install of utorrentstill on XP in 2026?! at this point I'm impressed
>>110120316>released 20th>hours BEFORE the big security vunlerabilities in php, node, .net, and everythinghmmmm not sure
>>110130153I always skip the x.y.0 releases anyway, give it a few weeks and get the next one with me
>>110130153seek mental help
>>110129372loser
>>110123422Are you posting from 2011?
>>110120399>afforddid you miss the point of pirating?
>>110133139I wish
>updoot>now it doesn't close properly anymore>adding magnets crashes the clientnice
>>110134548>upgrading to a major release
>>110120418does this shit still have embedded ads?
>>110135405>does this shit still have embedded ads?deluge never had ads
>>110120301My friend suggested me to use qBittorrent back in high school and I thought he was a idiot for not using uTorrent 2.2.1 instead. I wonder why I thought it was weird to use it and prefer uTorrent, probably seeing some 2012 youtube tutorial with nightcore music in background using uTorrent and grabbing that instead
>NOTICE for heavy seeders: The new default libtorrent backend (2.1.x series) is known to have worse read performance compared to the 1.2.x series, which will affect your upload speed. So if you are a heavy seeder you may want to choose the version based on the 1.2.x series.This sounds like a pretty shit update.
>>110135808i use the lt2 because it feels like its more cool and powerful, i also live in a rural place and my upload is like 50kbps max, and if i leave it uncapped it peaks at 100kbps but slows down my internet so much i cant open 4chan anymore. i just leech from people and do it with libtorrent 2
>>110120301>major updatewhat the fuck could they change? I open magnet link and get download. What updates are needed?
>>110135808>This sounds like a pretty shit update.then just don't use the lt2.1.x version
>>110135851>What updates are needed?read the changelog, stupidthis is a dumb question
>>110135886no
>>110135808lt2.0 has been shit upon shit since it was first released. Still have yet to find a torrent with a v2 hash in the wild. Still using qbit 4.2.5.
>>110135405Ads are based. You're just too poor to buy the products advertised lmfao!!
>>110120301I swear the check for update button doesn’t work for me anymore. I’ve had to manually update for a while now
>>110135851i'm with you. i do sometimes actually skim through changelogs because i'm wondering what they can possibly still be changing and fixing for there to be updates so frequently and it's always worthless bullshit.i'd just ignore the updates entirely but the nature of the application seems like the kind of program that should be kept up to date for dubious security reasons if nothing else.
>>110120301We told you to not download that csam magnet, again.
>>110137487no
>>110136841BTN still allows bittornado... so
>>110120474isn't this still limited to ipv4? i use peerbanhelper to ban israel and israel worshipping countries
>>110120301I vibecoded my own with rust, no idea why anyone still uses this shit
>>110121369they decided that os caching is good enough, it's an old decision though, you will have to look at much older libtorrent 2 changelogs qbittorrent did take a long time to remove them from showing, they even kept nonfunctional settings for a while
>>110138150well, the feds aren't very happy about you.
>>110138845I used to use peerblock but I still got an ISP letter for downloading ut2k4. my one and only ISP letter
>>110121432same here, and im running 5.1.0
>>110139510updater broke on that release when they lost access to their fosshub account
>>110139510gotta do a manual update on that one
>>110136275>Still using qbit 4.2.5based
>>110138863interesting, thanks for pointing this out.https://www.libtorrent.org/upgrade_to_2.0-ref.htmlit's clearly explained here.still makes no sense qbittorent hasn't included this into the changelog tho.>they even kept nonfunctional settings for a whiledisk cache was definitely functional and still a thing in the previous version (which still wasn't based on libtorrent 2+ anyways)
>>110136275>Still using qbit 4.2.5.sad
>staying on 5.2.4>skipping releases ending in 0have fun being beta testers for me
>>110142131Presumably he means in the lt20 releases. They were releasing them in parallel for years.
>>110145641>They were releasing them in parallel for years.they still are, they just switched the default build from LT1.2 to LT2.1 but we still get both
>>110135808My upload speeds are capped at 100 megabits/second anyway because the ISP refuses to install fiber optic in my poorfag apartment :/
>>110147267>they just switched the default build from LT1.2 to LT2.1 but we still get bothnot using 2.x until it is stable
>>110120301I MUST UPDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTFucking monkeys
Using Transmission like a retard, should I move to qBittorrent?
>>110147979if you're a macfag stick with transmission, otherwise you should switch
>>110120418based deluge user>all those seething replieslmao
>>110148009Using Lonox.
>>110148016>KDE/QTswitch already. the q in qBit it for QT it's basically the ideal situation for your desktop unless you want to use KTorrent for some reason
>>110148016>>110147979you're fine if you're just a basic torrenter
nice release but something is fucked with their qt translations locales, says en locale is missing and falls back to enstill keeping utorrent 2.2.1 25302 edition tho
>>110149060this is def your system locales being messed up and not an issue with qBt or any other program
>>110120474brb updating & instantly range-banning India
>>110120301I want to like Qshittorrent, but it's always like>AIEEEE!!!! urgent, you NEED to update to 53.0.0.0.0.0.26!!!!!! NOW! You are out of date! You need to update!!!!! 53.0.0.0.0.0.26 fixes a translation for the South-Mongolian Ugalogoganian dialect. And to update, it opens your browser to some site that malds at you for using an adblocker, makes you wait 10 seconds for some stupid timer, requires three clicks just to download the installer, which requires like 5 more clicks to get through.Honestly, fuck this shit.
>>110149554>i had to wait 4 a timer and click a few timeslucky you, qbit devs threatened to revoke my license if i didn't send a picture of my idapparently they're slow rolling this out as we speak and will be kyc from now on
>>110150684the updater broke in 5.1.0 because the site they used went down. you need to update to 5.3.0 manually to use the new sites.
qbitorrent is shilled so much here that i stopped using it
>>110151133>qbitorrent is shilled so much here that i stopped using itnobody cares, fag
>question for qbit brosI have list of torrents that are already downloaded in my qbittorrent client, is there anywhere saved a file setting for that list so I don't have to add it manually again by downloading .torrent file?I need to reinstall OS and qbittorrent but after that my downloaded list will be gone desu
>>110151307>>I have list of torrents that are already downloaded in my qbittorrent client, is there anywhere saved a file setting for that list so I don't have to add it manually again by downloading .torrent file?1. Move the files you downloaded to USB, etc2. Save %APPDATA%\qBittorrent and copy that entire folder to an external drive or network share. Repeat this for %LOCALAPPDATA%\qBittorrent (which contains the BT_backup folder holding your active torrent history and resume files).3. Install qbit on new PC, point to new files4. Close qBit and replace all the appdata folders with the ones you saved from old PC5. Open Qbit and it will be like it was on the old PC.
>>110151133>one updooting thread every few weeks or months depending on where we are in the release cycle>grrrr I'm mad about this for some reasonlol strap in, we just got a new branch so we're getting new releases every few weeks for the next couple of months
>one update changelog thread was enough to bait up entire /g/ to 3 digit reply count
>>110151133And you would be correct to do so>Our internal testing has currently hit a huge issue: an instance with about 3k torrents started taking over the world, er, using all RAM available (until it got OOM killed) repeatedly.>We're checking if this is general, or the specific container, or something else, but this is bad behavior in the extreme.>On further testing, 5.3.0 is not working properly.>It is using massively increased amounts of RAM, on libtorrent 2.0.15 or 2.1.2. (to the tune of an extra 10 GB of RAM)>It is struggling under only 3k torrents to even talk to the tracker: it had 1.5k timed out, and 1.3k late when we aborted the test.>This version is marked declined.Maybe qBt's dev team should try vibeslopping, since humanslopping doesn't seem to be working out.
>>110151776think we can hit the bumplimit?>>110151785apparently the update modifies the config files so downgrading isn't simple, saw something about having to recheck every torrent too. Looks like a mess, I'm skipping this one either way. Also:>using the LT20/LT21 versionslol, we could be waiting a while for MAM to allow a new version if the LT2 version has to work

>>110120418this just werks no reason to ever change
>>110157569Getting letters *from ISP* is a very burger thing. Here it's some copyright agency firm thing doing it. But it happens only with somewhat relevant media so you can pirate old and abandoned content without worries.t. euro

>>110120301reminder that there's still no cve for µt 2.2.1qbittarts have to invent and fearmonger because their app is still worse than a 20yo closed source app.
>>110160595If you don't pay up for whatever the copyright people demand, it will be a court case. Although it changed a bit 10 years ago because the copyright agencies requested something like 100000 names from the police and it resulted in like 5 court cases. This changed the policy as they deemed it data harvesting or something. So: in the current year you have to seriously distribute pirated content before anything happens.
