I tried to configure it in a different way what I found on forums, however these were not working as well.
I really need help, as it is really painful to use transmission, so I would like to go back to qbittorrent.
P.S.: My OdroidC2 just received a fresh install, so this is why I lost qbittorrent.
Many thanks! It is working now. The problem was I was changed the global software password, so I tried the default user&pass, and the new global user/pass, but not the default user and global pass. Now I could log in! Many thanks again, you helped me a lot!
A healthy torrent swarm has a good share ratio between seeders (users with the entire file) and peers (the users getting the content and helping distribute it. A third player comes into place, leechers the users downloading the content but not uploading it. If the share ratio within a torrent swarm is unbalanced, for instance, there are more leechers than peers, everyone in the swarm will experience slow speeds.
Proxies are exceptional for improving the privacy of torrents. Although they do not encrypt traffic (as VPNs do), they help by masking your IP in torrent swarms. Of course, proxies were not designed for the same purpose as VPNs (VPNs vs. proxies), so they can be suitable for different use cases. For instance, proxies do not encrypt traffic, making them faster than VPNs for torrenting.
I downloaded several torrents using Transmission that are almost guaranteed to error with qBittorrent, and although they downloaded a lot slower because Transmission has slow peer discovery for some reason, they all completed without error. Looks like that dependency is the problem, thanks for helping me track it down. What do you recommend I do from here?
qBittorrent aims to have a small foot-print, to be powerful, intuitive and visually attractive going beyond the
current functions widely provided by other applications. qBittorrent is an attempt to provide a µTorrent equivalent
that is open-source and multi-platform adding a streaming-like function to let users download-and-play video files.
qBittorrent is currently offering functionality comparable to more popular BitTorrent clients such as Vuze but
without requiring the Java Virtual Machine.
qBittorrent requires Python only for the search engine while other clients such as Deluge and BitTornado require
it for the BitTorrent protocol itself.
Imagine it like this. 1 seed has a maximum upload speed of 100Kbps. 10 leechers are connected to this seed. So the seed will try to upload to those 10 leechers at around 10Kbps each (100Kbps/10). If only 2 leechers were connected to the seed, they would get around 50Kbps. So here you can see how easily torrents become very slow when there are more downloaders than uploaders.
Private trackers (swarm networks) try to compensate for this by giving download speed priority to known seeders with high upload ratios. These trackers are usually found on private, membership-only websites, and you will be given a higher download speed priority the more you share back in uploads.
So to explain these settings briefly. DHT and PeX peer discovery help you to discover more peers globally, which means more possible seeders for you to download from. Also, some trackers or peers will only connect to encrypted peers, for privacy, so by allowing encryption you are also widening your pool of potential peers.
Many consider a base package install to be more then enough some may want to compile and customize the applications themself. Manually compaling also allows for a new version or a feature rigth after it has been pushed on github if you would like to beta test it is best to compile it yourself, as arch will have the latest stable version of that package. In order to compile qbittorrent, we must make sure we the prerequisites installed properly. The requested packages arch / boost , / openssl , / zlib , / pk-config , / qt5-svg, and finally / python . The package can now be built. The Qt requisite as described in qbittorrent documentation can be installed as / qt . This is the base package and will allow qbittorrent to compile as it should.
