Seeing the official website states that the client is “barely supported,” I’m wondering, is it worth using a different one?
It works perfect for me except for a weird bug that’s been documented for half a decade but no one is solving.
The bug being that when your DNS slows down and the connection is cut for a second. The torrent client doesn’t automatically try to restablish connections you actually have to restart the client to get your torrents going again.
I have used it without issues. I use qBittorrent inside Docker now, it works well on the same machine.
I don’t have any issues with the Qbittorrent desktop client. I’m also running Qbittorrent Docker.
What is the benefit of running qBittorrent in Docker? Container proxy?
I’m running a media server on my MacBook. MacOS by default doesn’t support split tunnels, so I’m using qBittorrent + VPN Docker container to achieve that. That way, only qBittorrent is using the VPN file, no other service.
Thank you. Appreciate it. Good way to get multiple things done at the same time.
Yeah. If I use the default VPN app, many websites would simply block my IP address, so it’s a good way to separate Qbittorrent from other apps and services.
I second docker. I do use the docker version on my server, but I use docker on my Mac all the time. I really enjoy not having to screw around and have to go through the process of installing certain things and docker desktop on Mac just works. I pretty much use homebrew or docker.
I can’t complain, but I do have a weird issue when I close qbittorent it doesn’t quite or stop… It freezes and shuts down unexpectedly :/ Very strange.
I only use it for public trackers tho, but after testing all the alternatives on Mac, qbittorrent is probably the best feature wise.
I suggest fully uninstalling the app using tools like App Cleaner and then reinstalling it.
Thanks for the pointer, but this happens even on a fresh reinstall. I guess it’s somehow related to my MacOS version I haven’t updated for a while :/.
Anyway, I going for Asahi Linux in my next install so I don’t want to tweak further into macOS. I’m getting tired to fight my system instead of working with it !
Same for me. I also have to reboot more often as the system seems to get buggy if I’ve been running it for a while.
It worked well in my experience, no problems at all. I used it for a while a couple months ago until I set the web interface back up on my server.
