Greetings,
I am experiencing a problem with qBitTorrent software.
Did a clean install, it works but after some time working, it would just stuck - web interface works, I can add/remove torrents but it won’t download anything.
For example, if I add a new torrent, it would sit there with “downloading metadata” (if magnet was used) or “stalled” (if torrent file was used) for eternity.
But, if I SSH to the my Pi 4 that hosts it and do “service qbittorrent restart” - it will start working again… sometimes even for days, until it gets stucked again.
It kind a grinds my gears.
Any known solution to this? Thanks in advance!

Does it stuck also on popular torrents?
Try to upgrade to newer version [https://dietpi.com/forum/t/how-to-install-qbittorrent-4-3-9-vesrion/6092/1](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/how-to-install-qbittorrent-4-3-9-vesrion/6092/1)

Accordding to Github a lot of people have this issue and they found various solutions for this.
So the top solutions I found in the short time are:
[_] wrong network interface was set, change it in qBittorent settings, under Advanced
[_] the used VPN software created another network interface, see line above for fix
[_] set to randomize port at startup fixed it
[_] change upload rate from 0 to something else fixed it
[\*] change back to older version fixed it
It’s a mystery, or just a lot of bugs which cause this behaviour 🤣
Have a look: [https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent/issues/45](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-qbittorrent/issues/45) (I know it#s for docker-qbittorent, but there are the most suggested solutions)
and: [https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/14276](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/14276)
And many many more if you search for your own.
Does qbittorent indicates something like this:
