Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qbittorrent 4.2.5
Distro: Archlinux (no version, since is a rolling release)
Qt version: 5.14.1

If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

1.2.4

What is the problem

I have 2 ip addresses, with my primary ip (x.x.117.200) i cannot reach a torrent website, so i set qbittorrent to bind to the secondary ip (x.x.117.199) and torrents do work, but trying to download a torrent via the rss feed still fails.

What is the expected behavior

to use the ip i want to bind to for everything, even rss things.

Steps to reproduce

Have 2 ip addresses, set qbittorrent to bind to the secondary one, download an rss feed via qbittorrent and observe that the primary ip is still used.

Extra info(if any)

@kokoko3k please fill in the issue template properly. Details like the OS type and version (and no, just "Linux" is not enough) and the Qt version are important. Also please use libtorrent >= 1.2.6 if possible (though I suspect that will not affect this issue).

Did it.
Is this issue really related to my setup/SO/qt version?
I mean, is qbittorrent expected to bind all of his network connections to the ip you set in advanced config as described?

I'll try the new libtorrent too and report back, but, as you, i don't think it would make any difference (is libtorrent used at all to download an rss?)

Thanks!

Yes. For example, not so long ago there was a regression with Qt 5.14.1 that broke RSS downloads (it was fixed in Qt 5.14.2 - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80947). That was on Windows, and I think in this case the cause is different, but you get the point.

I suspect that the bind ip/interface settings in the advanced settings only affect libtorrent (I'm not very familiar with the RSS subsystem in qBittorrent), which means the user doesn't really have a choice about what the RSS downloader actually does in terms of network interface usage. I guess that should be considered a bug, if that is the case. @glassez thoughts?

About the libtorrent version upgrade, libtorrent >= 1.2.6 contains many important fixes that you can benefit from, regardless of this particular issue.

Installed libtorrent-rasterbar 1.2.6, no change.
As for qt, i really cannot switch right now, and anyway it succesfully downloads rss from the not problematic websites, so it is safe to assume that my specific problem does not lies there.

Can this still be reproduced on latest stable 4.6.0 or master ?
