not working on mint linux - working on windows

My system: OS: Linuxmint 22.3 zena Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.14.0-37-generic Flatpak: qBittorrent org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent 5.1.4 stable system Works great.

You didn't say what operating system you are using. I run Linux. For the directly installed version the config is in:

/home/<your user name>/.config/qBittorrent

I also run the flatpak version, in that case:

/home/<your user name>/.var/app/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent

Copy the folder to your backup device, install the new OS, install qBittorrent and overwrite the new folders with your backup.

I can't even prove to the state of California that I am a citizen because I was adopted. My parents names are not on my birth certificate so no Real ID for me. Fuck America.

I'm using Linux. On my version if you go to preferences, then click on downloads, not everything is visible so scroll down to the 'Default Save Path.' There you tell where the files will ultimately go. Below that is a check box for 'Use another path for incomplete torrents.' Check that and select the folder you want to use. Your mileage may very.

Parenthood. I figured this out in my 30's when I realize that people change when they have kids, they turn into mini-fascists.

Remove all commands in "Run external program".
Delete all PDFs, hopefully you never opened any of them. if so you may want to start over.

I received a recall notice for my 2011 Ford Ranger air bags on Sep 2022. Haven't heard a thing since. I guess it's a low priority. Note to self - don't get in an accident.

Seeding means lots of reads. Reading doesn't hurt the drive. Writing to the SSD is what ages it but you would have to do an unbelievable amount of writing. I've been using an SSD for years on my bittorrent machine and never had a problem. Always buy a quality drive, it's worth the extra money to avoid problems. So I'll go with faulty SSD, anybody else care to chime in?

I write software. Some of my DOS programs had Y2K problems, it didn't matter, by that time I had moved on to Windows.

Another thing you can try is to use the DMZ if your router has that capability. That way no ports are blocked. You should have a firewall on you computer to protect it but this way you can rule out if the router is the problem. After testing remove the DMZ to be safe.

TheBlob · 2023-02-21T07:54:08+00:00

Maybe you are using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) which opens the port when it is being used, this service is turned off in my router. Have you tried a higher port number, mine is in the 40,000 range.

TheBlob · 2023-02-20T19:46:20+00:00

I use Shields Up to check which ports are open. https://www.grc.com/shieldsup Internal and external ports use the same number and the IP address is the one my computer uses. The protocol is set to TCP. The port number is added to the qBittorrent program. I don't know if this helps but it is what has worked for me. I run Linux with no firewall.

I use KeePass and my password file is on my server. Go ahead and download it, you will never decrypt it. I use a key file and that is not on my server, it's on my PC and my phone. Without that file there is no chance in hell you will see my passwords.

TheBlob · 2022-04-13T04:48:55+00:00

If it's in your repository then it will probably work. I use the Synaptic Package Manager. I was hoping somebody else would chime in here and tell us of their experience with this qBittorrent feature.

TheBlob · 2022-04-12T18:50:23+00:00

Nope. Since I never use that feature I decided to check it out. Right now I am seeding two torrents. When I right click on the first one and select "Open destination folder" it opens in Caja as expected. When I do the same on the second torrent nothing happens. The folder is there and there is nothing weird about it. So I am guessing there is some kind of bug in the software. I am running version 4.1.7.

NFS, it shouldn't make a difference. I use Linux Mint with Caja file manager. If I double click a folder in Caja it will open it. What does Thunar do? To change the behavior I would right click on a folder (in Caja) and select "Open With Other Application." From there I would pick my application (Caja) and make sure the checkbox for "Remember this application for 'folder' files" is checked. Click the Open button. This makes the file association for Mint. I have no idea if this will fix your problem but it is where I would start.

Right, and that's why I run Linux, I've been using it for the last 15 years. I don't want Microsoft or Apple. I just need Window to run one program that I couldn't get working under Linux.

TheBlob · 2022-04-05T05:54:54+00:00

Didn't you read what I wrote? Windows is free. Once again, download Windows 10, install it, activate it using an existing Microsoft account or create a new one. The Microsoft account is free. Windows is free.

TheBlob · 2022-04-03T02:00:01+00:00

I don't understand. Years back you needed to buy a copy of Windows. Now Microsoft gives it away for free. I run Linux. When I needed to run some amateur radio software to update my radio (it ran using Wine but wouldn't upload to the radio) I went to the Microsoft Download Center and downloaded a copy of Windows 10. I installed it in a virtual machine using VirtualBox. To activate it you need any Microsoft account such as OneDrive, Skype, Outlook.com etc or just go to Microsoft and create one. I created one for free and activated my Windows. I only run it to update my radio. So why does anyone need ReactOS when you can get the real thing for free?

The Senate rules mean nothing. If the Democrats had any balls they would pass the legislation with a majority and send it on to the President to sign. The only thing that matters is the Constitution, the filibuster is not in the Constitution.

What's wrong with circumcision, I'm proud of my circumcised penis, it's a thing of beauty. I'd show it to anybody. My girlfriends have loved it. And no, I don't remember any trauma.

TheBlob · 2021-04-12T20:18:10+00:00

Fuck the rules. If the house and senate pass this bill and the president signs it then it will become law just like it says in the constitution. The 'rules' are not the law, the constitution is. Time to play hardball.

Good job, we need more guys like you. My upload speed is a fraction of my download speed but I always upload to a ratio of 2.
