Qbitorrent 4.1.5 32 bits - Windows 10 64 bits

When closing app, qbittorrent stays in process list even if no torrent were downloading. (I saw that there are elsewhere discussion about this issue, I do confirm it with this version)
Kill the app, relaunch
=> Downloading of registered torrent then starts
I'm using a purevpn connection, with its interface in advanced option/Network option
Registered torrents were set using double click in the search window. Update plugins done.

Thanks for your work

1° about Qbittorrent not stopping, I noticed that it's when you try to close it from the top right cross icon. If you use file/exit, it works.
2° about advanced/network option, this happens when purevepn is selected. If I set it to "any interface" and restart app, downloading starts again. So it seems that when another network interface is selected, downloading could stop for unknown reason and does not restart automatically.

I have this also. Extremely annoying. W10 64-bit.

Duplicate of #5097? Unless you haven't disabled "Close qBittorrent to notification area" option which is the default.

I don't understand, what does that have to do with this?

X minimizes it to tray if that option is enabled which fits what you described.

I get the feeling this is not what this issue is about though? Title and subject are kind of confusing...

I re-read the second reply more carefully this time

So it seems that when another network interface is selected, downloading could stop for unknown reason and does not restart automatically.

It says (restart required) when changing interface.

@thalieht For me the problem is simply that the qBittorrent process stays open after I press Exit. And in order to re-open it again I have to close the old process first.

Hi, I agree that title is confusing and my english likely too.

Thanks thaliet, I understood that "close qbittorrent to notification area" is by design to reduce or close application. I noticed that it's not the same as windows reduce icon because in this case, alt tab does not show qbittorrent.
About purevpn interface, I don't find how to reproduce. I noticed that sometimes downloading stops perhaps when no peers are available (which is normal) but never restart, nor I see new peers. But if I set back the interface to "any interface" and restart app, downloading begin.
