Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent v4.1.7
Windows 10 Enterprise x64 Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763

What is the problem

In Options > BitTorrent > Share Ratio Limiting...
I enable "Seed Torrents until their ratio reaches" value 2.01 (or anything else) and "then: Pause them".
The ETA displayed for each torrent is correct. At some point it becomes "< 1m". But then, rather than pausing the torrent, it continues uploading with ETA "infinity symbol".
The same happens when manually setting an individual torrent by right clicking it and then choosing "Limit share ratio..." > "Set share limit to" > 2.01 (or anything else)

What is the expected behavior

Torrent should pause.

Steps to reproduce

Set "Seed Torrents until their ratio reaches" value 2.01 (or anything else) and "then: Pause them".

Extra info(if any)

It didn't start with this qbittorrent version, but it wasn't always like this. I don't know when it began.

Just tried with that exact number 2.01 in 4.1.7. Can't reproduce.

ETA is "Estimate time left". Why do you check it? You need "Ratio".

If ratio is over specified limit, e.g. 2.00, and you restart qbittorrent and continue sharing, it just seems to continue uploading infinitely.

Maybe you guys are force seeding the torrents? The ratio number is clearly not the cause and unless it is found, it can't be fixed.

I have the same problem, if setting the ratio to 0 or seeding time to 0 it should stop immediately after complete the download but currently it doesn't, it used to work on a older version though.

It stops for me in 4.2.0alpha2.

Tested on flatpak version from flathub, should be reproducible.
