Suggestion

I ask you to post fresh releases not only on qbittorrent.org and fosshub.com, but also here, where there is a discussion of errors and wishes for the application.

Use case

I am quite satisfied with the interaction in the context of improving the application with only one site, and not with several, and even with redirects and timeouts. Here I can immediately download the necessary distribution, unlike the site to which the portable application running on me sends, and from which it automatically downloads not the portable application, but the installer, ignoring the existing copy of qBittorrent during installation.

It would be nice to have the files in zip format, since I currently have to use UniExtract to extract the executable and use it in portable mode.

BTW any reason to not have ARM64 Linux version on either Fosshub or Git?

Because there are no devs wanting to maintain it, obviously.
Due to lack of Linux ARM devices or desire to deal with it, doesn't really matter.

Yes, also am using this since years. But important: It's the "nox" variant, so no GUI. Only CLI/webinterface.

I think that's because pretty much all desktop distros have qBittorrent in official repos. So why even bother.
Static binaries mostly needed for embedded/containers.

Not at stake for the moment, Ubuntu ARM64 with PPA is what I'm using.
Just considering option for the future (RPI OS or anything else with snap/flatpack/built.
This setup is rock solid and cost effective, even with many torrents loaded. But yeah my own stuff, maybe not the one used by the most.

I don't use the Microsoft Store service on Windows, just like many Google Android users don't use the Google Play service. The mere presence of an application in official stores should not be a reason for the absence of the application in alternative application repositories. In this case, F-Droid (and third-party repositories connected to it) and Github, respectively.

I missed the point of the message

You completely missed the point of the message. It was about qbittorrent-nox-static repo, not about uploading official builds to this repo.
