Qbittorent and "stalled"
-
it gets stalled for no reason. The torrent would just stop downloading.
This is normal in qbittorent, main reason there are not enough seeder and has difficulty connecting finding peers ...
Point [highlight] on the torrent that is stalled and force-resume/start or [right click/option] ...
This will continue from finding peers ...
Unlike in utorrent and other client it keeps on finding peers even if there is no seed ... -
@john32123666 I see. Okay I understand that but I have never experienced this before with QB and I have been using it for quite a long time now.
So, what I'm doing now to remedy this is to exit QB and run it again and switch my VPN to another location. Some locations would last longer than other. I really do not know if what I'm doing has anything to do with the problem.

@Rotron There are many other client to choose from,
why waste time on something that causes an issue ... -
@john32123666 Hmmm... right but this just the first time I've encountered a problem with it after using it for so long. I might look into others. Any recommendation?

I'm using utorrent for the past 10 years w/ no issues ...
version 3.3.2 [built 30303]/[disable update]
it's clean and neat w/ no ads and bundles ...See: https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/best-torrent-clients/ |

@john32123666 why would you recommend anyone to use a software that old? It's not safe in any way. qBittorrent, it's important to notice, will only puposely disconnect you from a peer IF it identify a possible threat or security breach, such as peers running on unsafe ports or multiple incoming connections from the sabe IP..
As of the stalled status, I'd say to just check the torrent page and see how many seeders it has, if probably is a really small number, maybe even 1 or 2. People aren't online all the time, you can start downloading something and then the seeder shuts down his PC or whatever, you just need to until there's an active seeder.
