qBittorrent version and Operating System

Arch Linux 4.19.0
qbittorrent-nox 4.1.3-2

libtorrent and Qt version

libtorrent-rasterbar 1:1.1.10-1
qt5-base 5.11.2-1

What is the problem

In the WebUI when torrent queueing or alternative rate limits are modified, the changes don't persist a restart of the process or the system

What is the expected behavior

Changes should persist a restart of the application

Steps to reproduce

Change one of those settings
Restart the systemd process / Reboot the system

Extra info(if any)

I've checked and the file qBittorrent.conf inside .config of the qbtuser is modified once the setting is changed but the file is reset after the process starts again, I've tried to make the file read-only but it gets overwritten.
Other settings do work, like changing the default port or the username/password to access the gui.

I'm not able to reproduce this- those settings persist after restarting the application. Can you update to 4.1.4 and see if you still face the issue?
