I get a BSOD when downloading large torrents with qbittorrent.

I am also sure it is the software. I have done HDD scans they are all fine, i have checked ram.
I also am using a different software now to download torrent and am not receiving the BSOD it is only with qbittorrent that it happens.

If you need any logs or more info i will be happy to provide it. (but tell me were to get it)

Related(?): #4536

I have exactly the same issue when I'm downloading big torrent file with qBittorrent, when I'm downloading small torrent file with qBittorrent I don't have any issues. This only happens with big torrent files.

I'm 100% sure of that this is only qBittorrent related issue, because I haven't had this issue with any other torrent application yet.

uTorrent - No BSOD
Bittorrent - No BSOD
Deluge - No BSOD
Transmission QT - No BSOD
Tixati - No BSOD
Vuze - No BSOD
FrostWire - No BSOD
qBittorrent - BSOD with both x86 and x64 build, and BSOD with 3.2.4, 3.2.5, 3.3.0 and 3.3.1.

Like I said, I get BSOD with qBittorrent only when I'm downloading a big torrent. I downloaded the same exact torrent with all of those torrent applications above and only qBittorrent gave me a BSOD. I don't have qBittorrent installed any longer, I got so frustrated so I did a clean install without qBittorrent. I have had this issue with 2 laptops and 1 pc, so it can not be a driver issue. It is qBittorrent's fault unfortunately.

It could be a driver issue with qbittorrent. What is your network card and HDD or SSD.
This might help solve it.

Mine are
Samsung SSD 850 Evo
Asus Pce-AC68

And they all have a SSD? 850 Evo? xD
Btw i also download the qbittorrent to an HDD.

But qbittorrent is installed on the SSD.
I have the 1Tb though.

However if indeed you have that ssd on all your pc's and so do i maybe the problem lies in a conflict between that driver and qbittorrent?

It seems they need to look into that.
I like qbittorrent so i hope they will be able to find it.

No, different ssd's and hdd's. I had qBittorrent installed on the ssd and I put downloads on the hdd to save ssd's.

Edit:

@Bladeline

Can you please use Blue Screen View. Look at the latest .dmp-file listed in that program and look what is marked red. I don't have qBittorrent installed any longer and I did a clean install so I can not provide this nfo.

Seems that was not the sollution as it is not solved.

Now other torrent programs are also having this issue with me.
I think it is the Network driver it all started since i had this it is a PCE-AC68

I have done everything to try and fix this but it seems that i cannot as it is a problem in the driver itself. However Qbittorrent is the one that makes the BSOD happen the fastest for some reason.

Here are the 2 memory dumps i have from the BSOD:
Before reinstalling windows:

After reinstalling windows:

Chiming in to say I have also encountered this issue on my Windows 10 PC, I'm also using a Samsung 850 SSD and have the PCE-AC56 wireless network card. Haven't had any issues until I tried to download a very large file (>20GB).

@ADTC commented on GitHub (May 20, 2016):

Upgraded from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Pro. On Windows 7 I didn't have any problem with qB. But on Windows 10, the qB (which was migrated) caused a BSOD through the wireless card driver. IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (NETwew01.sys). I traced this driver file and it's definitely used by the wireless card.

If I'm not wrong, qB does mess with the network settings and such, and I'm suspecting it does so at a low level, directly accessing and manipulating the network cards and their drivers. Is that so?

Windows 10 never BSODed when qB was not running at all, and I have switched between several wireless networks, turned off and on the wireless setting, put the computer on sleep and resume several times, and have not shut down for nearly 3 days now. But it BSOD twice, both times I ran qB and left it running to download a torrrent. In a few hours, I come back to check and the screen is blue with a big :( face. I knew it has to be qB.

I updated to the latest qB but after reading the above, I'm afraid to run it. Should I just go look for an alternative?

I closed it because i can't even tell if we have The same problem you have said that you traced it to your wireless card without mentioning what card you have. Also it could be a combination between The ssd 850 Evo and The pce-ac68 so if you fid not mention any hardware i could not compare our problems.

If you have a pce-ac68 just downgrade The driver and The problem will be resolved if it Does not you have another issue that i can't really help you with without More info

Sorry I have not. My card is Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 on driver from Intel version 15.18.0.1 2015-04-30. Even updating to the latest driver (from 15.16.x) didn't help - in fact, that's what I did after the first BSOD.

I had left the computer on overnight for 12 hours straight without qB running and it's totally fine, no BSOD whatsoever. In both times that BSOD occured in the past, qB was running for just a few hours.

Please reopen, it's not related to a particular network interface. This is a problem with qB itself, and could be a horrible bug in the communication among various network drivers, Windows 10 and qB.

An update on my case, I uninstalled all of the drivers for my wireless card and restarted my PC. Windows 10 automatically added Broadcom drivers from 2013 and enabled the wireless card and my issue is gone. The drivers provided by Asus are not suitable for Windows 10 it seems.
