Do you use preallocation?

Same here, under Windows 7 x86, when I add a torrent and also when I restart qBittorent. I do use preallocation, and I use it under 3.1.5 and it works fine. I downgrade to 3.1.5 and it doesn't crash.

Wait for 3.1.9. (check manually the site because autoupdate has stopped working until 3.1.9)
v3.1.8 uses a buggy version of libtorrent which crashes when preallocation is used. It has been fixed already.
