Hello

I have an issue with adding a torrent file to download list. Error message reads "metadata too large".

I have seen similar issue being already posted here and even marked as solved, however it seems that it's still causing a problems with certain torrent files.

qBittorrent: v3.3.6
Qt: 5.7.0
libtorrent: 1.0.9.0
boost: 1.61.0
OS version: Windows 7 Pro x64

File I'm trying to add:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73920008/MMD.torrent

Thanks in advance for any support you could provide.
