qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 4.5.0 x64
Operating system: Arch Linux 6.1.1-arch1-1
Qt: 5.15.7
libtorrent-rasterbar: 2.0.8-2

What is the problem?

Certain files that I have skipped (unchecked in the content tab / torrent open dialog) give notifications about I/O errors.

For example:

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/13080 but that issue said to open a new issue if the problem still occurs.

Steps to reproduce

Skip some files in a torrent
Start seeding the torrent

Same issue. v4.5.0 x64 on Win10 Pro 21H2. Libtorrent 1.2.18.0.
Duplicate of #7917, #7802, #7487, etc, none of which were properly resolved.
Have forced recheck of torrents individually and 400+ at once, issue persists.
No torrents have been relocated, just downloaded and seeded from the same folder.

Edit: I ended up disabling all notifications until a fix is available. This is ridiculous.

Same issue and it is super annoying because it displays repeatedly every few seconds and is incredibly distracting. Please make it go away forever. Windows 10 version.

OK I found the 3 dots on the error message window and the option to kill all qbittorrent notifications. But I had previously looked under Tools - Options for an equivalent kill capability. Who would have guessed that it is actually under three small dots in a window that pops up every few seconds like a weasel and by the time you almost click on it, its gone again. It might actually make a good game and could speed up even further each time I manage to catch it, but that doesn't really fit the vibe of a normal program - it would just annoy users and they would delete the program. Anyway, Options should really be in the Options section, I think. :^)

Hell yeah, this is fricking annoying, and at ~1000 torrents it's basically spamming the logfile

libtorrent does not provide a way to completely skip any files. All we have is a "Do not download" priority, and the checkboxes are provided only as an alternative way to set it. Related libtorrent issue .
