    Update: I got it working by manually downloading a newer binary. Thanks, this is great!

    Outdated: One more question, when I choose to download a torrent, the downloads list is still at 0. There is no download activity, even for a very popular torrent. The log file simply says:

    (N) 2023-12-18T20:57:30 - Downloading 'https://.html', please wait...

    So, no complaints about file permissions (I’m on linux). Any idea why this is? I can’t easily join the forum. It’s gmail/outlook only for registration.

      I’ve found that issue is related to the indexer. qBit fails to grab the magnet link because the indexer obfuscates it behind a redirect or something.

      I just remove those indexers completely. If it’s something obscure that you really need, your best bet is following the link in the search menu and getting the link manually.
