Ver. 3.0.0/Win7
All downloads show "stalled". Network connection good (not firewalled) and tracker shows working. Seems like this one STILL isn't fixed.

Unrelated to qBittorrent. If this was a bug, a lot more users would complain.

I have the exact same issue, under #54. Maybe it's related to the build? I also am running win 7, 3.0.0.

@sesqi commented on GitHub (Aug 26, 2012):

It most certainly IS related to qbittorrent. If the tracker was unresponsive (as you mentioned in #54 before closing it) none of my other torrent programs would have worked with the same file/tracker immediately after closing qbittorrent.

You guys have had this problem for a long time and denying that it exists isn't going to help anyone. I'd expect that there are a lot of people who have run into this and simply uninstalled without reporting it. There are many good alternatives and uninstalling is easier than reporting a bug. Qbittorrent is the only torrent program out of the five I've been testing which doesn't work properly - don't narrow-mindedly insult those of us who are trying to help you.

For myself, I've given up and gone back to utorrent. Though I don't like
the bloatware and want to support FOSS, and even though I don't trust what
bittorrent Inc is doing with my info, it still just works right away
without any struggle or debate. Hopefully rss on qbittorrent will work more
easily on a later iteration.

I have the same issue as well. Figured I'd take the time to mention it after reading the previous posts. I'm using windows 8. So far I have had zero issues installing anything, but thought you might like to know.

Still having this issue. Random torrents are stalled, even though other torrents on the same network are working fine.

0 active downloads

proof

this picture show 0 active downloads while a 100 g torrent is moved

public/image/qbittorrent/move_hang.png

problem

"active" torrents change to 0 for around 10 minutes (busy disk) or indefinitely (irp hang)

cause

it's caused by a

moving and checking files stall all torrents after a while because
- the check overwhlem the disk and slow down or stall downloads
- or the operation isn't threaded correctly in libtorrent
when many (30) magnets are added some torrents stay at checking 0% for a long time
IRP hang in \FileSystem\Ntfs makes qbittorent.exe wait for a file operation forever

solution

the solution could be

check files at low I/O priority so that it doesn't slow down download writes

not caused by

it's not caused by

i/o overload because the process hacker status from the topic "Status" show low i/o activity

Status

The ProcessHacker.exe output is

When compared side by side to uTorrent with the same torrent and tracker qBittorrent will often set the newly downloading torrent to stalled whereas uTorrnt will always begin to search for peers and begin the download.

Your screenshot of an almost completed download doesn't really show or prove anything.

qBittorrent v3.0.9 on Windows 7 SP1

Newly added torrents almost always appear as 'Stalled' even when there are plenty of seeds/peers and the tracker works in other Torrent programs. I really like this program but it's clear based on the number of users with similar problems that it has something to do with qBittorrent.

I started as a µTorrent user. Whenever I ran into problems with it, I tried qBittorrent as an alternative. 3 days ago was about the 5th instance that happened. Every single time, qBittorrent worked fine for an hour or so, but then the stalling problem happened permanently. I always decide to uninstall qBittorrent and try again half a year later to see whether the problem has been fixed.
It seems there not only hasn’t been any success, but also not even an attempt? It’s sad, all good Torrent clients I know of have been sold out or are filled with ads. Too bad qBittorrent is no alternative yet for me. I prefer µTorrent 2.2.1 over it, even if that is outdated and has its problems.

I only registered here to no longer be one of those “uninstall without bug report” users sesqi suspected. And I’m sure there are very many of those; if I hadn’t read his on point post, I would have remained one of them as well.
