Originally created by @GregariousJB on GitHub (Dec 3, 2019).
Please provide the following information
qBittorrent version and Operating System
v4.2.0
Windows 10 64bit
What is the problem
Torrents stuck on "Downloading metadata", even after restarting qBittorrent
What is the expected behavior
Torrents download.
Steps to reproduce
Extra info(if any)
Using PrivateInternetAccess proxy settings built into qBittorrent:
Above settings work beautifully in v4.1.9.1 - magnets download instantly. The same exact magnet and settings causes the magnet to get stuck on "Downloading metadata" in v4.2.0.
@HnyBear commented on GitHub (Dec 4, 2019):
Same problem here.
@bcometa commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019):
Same here, including PIA and only Magnet (not direct downloads), but I'm on Mac 10.15.1.
@johntrask commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019):
Same here. Using Socks5 with Nord.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019):
It seems that libtorrent 1.2.x (used on 4.2.0) has problems with SOCKS5. In fact some users get crashes upon launch. The libtorrent author has produced a PR (https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/4154) that probably fixes the crashes. And it might fix your issues too.
I'll produce a test build for you to test tomorrow.
@johntrask commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019):
Thanks, appreciate that.
@HnyBear commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019):
That'd be great, thank you.
@wind77 commented on GitHub (Dec 6, 2019):
Same problem as GregariousJB, using same version and OS.
Not using proxy.
RSS downloader adds the magnet link, but forever stuck in downloading metadata.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2019):
Please try the following test build. It includes latest libtorrent, which has a fix for SOCKS5. Please report if it fixes your problem. (I also do the official releases)
Link: http://builds.shiki.hu/temp/qbittorrent_4.2.0_x64_libtorrent_1_2_2_gitf49d194186.7z
(run from any folder or simply overwrite the official files)
Also for mac users you could try this build: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/11564#issuecomment-562478423

@Kolcha @sledgehammer999
This does not work for me (using the link in #11564 above), I still have the same "Downloading metadata" proxy problem introduced in v4.2.0.
Here are my connection settings (these settings worked in v4.1.9.1, however it stopped working the moment I updated to v4.2.0 and now downgrading to v4.1.9 doesn't seem to work either):
@bcometa commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2019):
Mac version works for me, thanks!
@GregariousJB commented on GitHub (Dec 7, 2019):
Also not working for me - stuck on "Downloading metadata"
Windows 10 64bit, LTSC v1809
@HnyBear commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2019):
Still doesn't work with test build. Odd thing is on 4.2.0 and the test build, if I close QB and reopen it, anything stuck on downloading metadata suddenly starts to download.
@JoeysRetroHandhelds commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2019):
Not working on 4.2.0 either. Using Qbittorrent and PIA Windows App.
@JoeysRetroHandhelds commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2019):
I'm using the PIA Windows app (not the SOCKS5 method).
Not sure if that solution would still apply?

The thing is before 4.2 I had no issues with socks5 and pia everything just worked.
@djice00 commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2019):
The fix did nothing to fix it for me as well.
@condoghost commented on GitHub (Dec 14, 2019):
qBittorrent v4.2.0 (64-bit) Windows 7
This worked for me. Previously proxy udp trackers not working though sometimes resetting no proxy back to proxy udp trackers still not working but had seeds and peers and downloading commenced - new torrents added, however, no seeds no peers no downloading.
Now udp trackers working and torrents have seeds and peers and are downloading. Magic! Thank-you!
sledgehammer999 you are #Aces!
UPDATE: Well, I thought this was "fixed" but alas I find now that it isn't. I ran the link, downloaded the executable. I ran it, Client automatically opened all udp trackers working all torrents downloading with seeds and peers.
An hour later I did a restart on my PC. I loaded two torrents and alas all four torrents showing udp trackers not working and curiously the two loaded previously to shut-down are downloading with seeds and peers, and the two I just downloaded are not downloading and are showing zero peers and seeds. I guess a more permanent fix is just around the corner.
Meantime, thank-you for all the hard work going into keeping us "alive".
UPDATE: v4.2.1 (64-bit) does not resolve for me. Same issues with Proxy SOCKS5 UDP Trackers.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
Do you guys have anonoymous mode enabled? If so, try disabling and see what happens. ATTENTION: You may want to try that with safe torrents only, as there is a slight chance that some connections (udp protocol ones) will not use the proxy.
I am waiting on the libtorrent author to see what is the change between libtorrent 1.1 and libtorrent 1.2 in the meaning of anonymous mode and udp connections.
@GregariousJB commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
I just looked and saw Anonymous mode (Options > Bittorrent > Enable Anonymous Mode) was disabled. I don't remember ever touching this option since I reformatted Windows 7 and installed Windows 10 almost one year ago on January 3rd, and I've had this "Stuck on downloading metadata" issue since around ~v4.0 while on Windows 7.
Also, not sure if this is relevant, but it seems to be. If I I'm stuck on a torrent this has worked for me twice now:
So the proxy connection works fine through the proxy's client but not through qBit? Someone smarter than me can figure this out. This also happens on 4.1.9.1 and earlier.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
But you report(in your opening comment) that:
On another note:
What does this do? Creates connection to proxy and moves ALL system traffic through that proxy? (aka working transparently with any program). Or do you have to bind qbittorrent to a specific network interface it creates?
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
Or is it a VPN?
@GregariousJB commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
They do download beautifully, until they eventually don't.
#10226
#5097
Yeah, the PIA client I'm using is a VPN: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
No. There is difference between connecting through a proxy and a VPN.
Granted the proxy code may have a bug*, but the VPN passes traffic differently.
@HnyBear commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2019):
Thank you for staying on top of this.
@sledgehammer999 commented on GitHub (Dec 22, 2019):
