What do you mean by "local network folder"?

Downloading takes place on another PC connected via local network.
Two screenshots, the first before clicking "open destination folder", the second after.

qBittorrent.zip
run client as admin

If you don't try to kill the process, it will eventually open the folder.

Could it be due to a lack of bandwidth, which is occupied by the data transfer of the torrent itself?

I think I understood what's going on. This state is caused by the Preallocation=true option, until the client sends the entire volume, "open destination folder" causes a hang, and only after completion the interface becomes responsive.

5.0 behavior is similar.

@luzpaz check out the video, it uses 4.6.2, and as I wrote before

I don't think anything has changed.
