qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.0.4 win10 1709

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

(type here)

What is the problem

qBittorrent.ini location

Now Qbittorrent read config from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent , even I move the
config files to same folder of qbittorrent.exe .

Is it possible to read from same folder first instead from profile folder ?

Thank you,
Li

Why do you want to do this?

If you would like to have everything in the same folder, I suppose you could try the PortableApps build. Note that this is unofficial and the qBittorrent developers do not provide support for it.

@Remonli Not as far as I know. Feel free to use the unofficial one, though. Remember, "unofficial" does not mean it is bad, it does means the developers won't support the build.

There is a way to run the official one as portable, read this https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/7zwjyo/qbittorrent_portable_mode/
