QBittorrent 4.4.2 on MacOS locking up. #16763
Comments
qBittorrent 4.4.2 I'm not having freezes with the friend's steps above, but I also face freezes in this version of qBittorrent in another step. Edit: It is not necessary to select multiple torrents. When clicking on any torrent and "Set Location", qBittorrent freezes. |
I suffer application lock as well after upgrading. In my case it happens when I select the option "Set Location" after right clicking on a torrent. Also, if I select "Open Destination Folder", qBittorrent crashes completely. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. |
Also affected; can add torrents, but any click, anywhere on it, causes it to beachball freeze. Can only force quit. No problem or interference with Finder. I tried "always open in Rosetta", and it made no difference. qBittorrent 4.4.2 Rolled back to 4.3.9, and is working fine again. |
Thanks for the context of the device you are running it on. |
I'm having exactly the same issue as original poster. I have to reboot the laptop to recover. Apple M1 Pro Macbook Pro w 16GB RAM. MacOS Monterey 12.3 |
Same OS version and same issue after installing the 4.4.2 update. Will start downloads and then freezes. Force quit, doesn't. Try to kill the process and it locks the finder. After about 3-5 minutes it reboots the system. |
Soon after my last comment (rolled back to 4.3.9) the same problem continued. No forced reboot problems, just qBT freezing and requiring a force close. It would work fine, unless I clicked on it in any way (with 4.3.9 as well as 4.4.2). What is interesting is that, unlike most people here, 4.3.9 is showing the same behavior after installing and rolling back from 4.4.2 for me. NOTE: I do have an RSS feed set up, if that makes a difference. I've switched to Transmission for the time being; qBT simply isn't functional at the moment. |
This happens for me as well, I've reported this several times in the Apple Silicon thread. Is everyone here having this issue on Apple Silicon? |
Yes, this had started happening to me also; completely stops working. I thought it was an issue with my VPN or or network binding. Spent a day troubleshooting it thinking it was something I messed up. Then for the heck of it, tried out Transmission and it worked fine. |
I have 3 macOS Monterey 12.3 installed. |
same issue here on a hackintosh (intel), a intel MBP and a m1x MBP (all on macOS 12.3.1). qbittorrent 4.4.2 just hangs when selecting "Set Location". seems like the window appears but it's hidden and you can't click anything inside the main window. however you can control the torrents from the macOS menu bar.
|
This is affecting me as well. Running 4.4.2 on macOS 10.14 and 10.13. (The latter required me to make my own build.) So it seems to happen across all versions of macOS. I can confirm this bug was present in 4.4.1, though it's hard to say with 4.4.0. The "Set Location..." menu item isn't present in it. |
@sledgehammer999 can you confirm the same issue when trying to use "set location" ? |
(my) SOLUTION:
So, problem lies with one of those old, extra files. |
I tried the same and on one of my (less essential) systems trashed every data file associated with qBittorrent, including in Further, for those of us that are seeding a multitude of torrents, this isn't a solution. Preferences need to be maintained. |
I am also getting the "Set Location" freeze and the "Open Destination Folder" crash. A workaround that worked for me to relocate the torrent contents folder was to:
Hope this gets fixed with the new version. |
I found another way to break it. So, it's not properly signed, right? When you first want to open it, you have to manually open it to tell MacOS it's okay. Then, every time you run it, it asks if you want to access/bypass the firewall. AND everytime it asks permission to access your downloads folder. If you self-sign it, it works for a little while, and then breaks completely. Only way to get it back is a clean install. $ sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/qbittorrent.app |
so this fixes the issue and it doesn't lock up on mac os anymore? |
It helpful, thanks.
Mac os 12.2.1 iMac 5k 2019 Intel Core i9 32gb, codesign didn't help. |
I found some additional files here: /Users/NAME/Library/Saved Application State/org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent.savedState NAME = replace with your userName |
More data/information: After a wipe and clean install, everything was good for a while, and then it started hanging, as we've all experienced. All my torrents had either finished (were seeding) or hadn't started and were paused. Probably only about 7 or 8 in total. I haven't had any locking up issues since. Just in case, I've been removing torrents before they get too numerous. Obviously, this isn't a perfect solution, but it could help the devs in narrowing down the problem. |
I see that 4.4.3 was released, but didn't see any mention of this in the changelog. Anyone been brave enough to try it and see if it works now in this new version? I'm sticking with my current version for now. :) |
Well, just downloaded on MacOS Catalina. I'll post back if it takes another dump like 4.4.2 did. |
I think there is mention of it:
I haven't tried 4.4.3 yet, though. |
I am using 4.4.3 now and so far it has been working on Monterey 12.4 for over an hour now. Fingers crossed. |
4.4.3 is showing the same issue for me, still locking up |
Is it really only me who cannot use qbittorrent on m1 14"? |
@barhom I've tested it in macOS 12.4 on an M1 Mac Mini, as well as on Intel macs running macOS 10.13.6 and 10.14.6. In all three cases the UI no longer locks up when I open a dialog, including when picking "Set location" which is what consistently didn't work for me before. Might be worth seeing what happens if you temporarily rename qBittorrent's settings folders (located at |
I completely "reinstalled" everything by deleting all mentions of qBittorrent systemwide as well as the folders you suggested. |
Well, I just found out why QBittorrent has been running so well for me. With high CPU usage (high than it should be, I thought). No crashes, no lock ups, just higher CPU. It's been running through Rosetta. quit, turn off 'always rosetta', restart. AAannd. it beach balls on load. Unresponsive. Force quit, turn on 'always rosetta', restart QBT. AAand it works perfectly again. MacOS 12.4, M1Max, 64GB ram, QBT 4.4.3 |
Where do I find this "always rosetta" setting? |
Welp. I broke it. Ever since I changed that Rosetta setting, it went from bad to worse. First, no network connections would go. Then it started locking up. Now, it won't load. Either with or without Rosetta. Completely borked. |
I really wonder how an app can mess up the system so bad that you can't even restart. Whenever this happens, I've to force shutdown the system (pressing the power button 5 secs). |
Sometimes I also experience the freeze when starting to download a torrent, might have started after upgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (not sure). GUI becomes frozen as well as web UI doesn't work (the URL doesn't load in browser). But using Activity Monitor I see that downloading actually works, and as soon as it finishes, GUI becomes usable again. Now made a manual build against Qt 5.15.2, will see how it goes. There's also another issue that the app sometimes hangs on quit (either manually or when shutting down the Mac), not sure if it's related to this issue or not. |
Just here to pile on that this is occurring for me, Mac Studio M1 Max, 32GB. SMB network share, constantly asking for network file access even though "full-access" has been previously granted. After sometime, immediately starts spinning beachball of death and locks the entire system. I was able to SSH from another machine, but unable to sudo reboot the host, unable to do a TOP command so I could kill the process. |
I must say that Qt 5 build is way more stable.
never had it any more with Qt 5
with Qt 5 it happens quite rarely, with Qt 6 it was a rather common thing |
I do also have RSS feeds setup, but the rollback to 4.3.9 is working
perfectly for me.

FYI - Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a
Mac with an Intel processor.

Applications -> Qbittorrent -> Get Info -> Open with Rosetta
(sorry for the shorthand)

I have the same issue. Had it on Monterey and previously. Now on Ventura. I've had it for more than a year, I think. |
I have this issue on and off for years now. Lockup on start and won't progress if I wait or if I quit and try to restart. Anyway I have found a temporary fix. |
I've switched to Transmission. Same functionality. Works perfectly. No commercials. qbittorrent is ridiculous on mac os. @14thDay I've already done that once and it did work for a while. I can't be expected to remember that or do that each time it freezes. |
Still happening on M1 Mac. Not sure if this is truly a workaround, but this seemed to at least temporarily dislodge the problem:
Having done that after numerous freezes, the program stopped freezing and allowed me to finish the download I was attempting. Makes me think qBittorrent is crashing on some kind of bad memory reference but inadvertently clears it after being tricked into thinking those torrents aren't there. IDK. I just know it seems to have helped me for now. |
Tried downgrading to 4.3.2 and it still happens. What interesting is that even if the client is closed, the Activity Monitor shows a constant disk write at about 15 MB/s from |
here's process sampling at the moment of freeze: Sample of qBittorrent.txt |
I'm having the same error. Getting the spining cursor and app freezes after updating to 4.5.2. MacBook Pro 14 with M2 and Ventura. |
You can get them back by adding the old torrents if you have them. |
Although my workaround probably still works, I ultimately ended up downgrading to 4.1.9 some time ago and that's been working great for me. I tried every minor version before latest and that's the one I landed upon where the issue stopped. Definitely appears to be a regression for Apple Silicon arch, and it seems to lie somewhere between 4.1.9 and 4.2.x. For now, I think using 4.1.9 is the best workaround if qBittorrent is freezing on an M1/2 Macbook. There isn't anything about the latest qBittorrent that I've missed. |
Sorry to say that this does not work on my M1. It freezes again when restoring the original |
Deleting the folder |
All of this is temporary fixes, its not fixing the underying issues which no one have figured out yet. |
Tried to go to as low as 4.1.2 version and it still locked up |
This works great for me! |
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent 4.4.2
MacOS: 10.15.7
What is the problem?
After upgrading the app will freeze, when clicking within the app. I can add torrents fine, but if I click on a column header to sort, or try to move from the "HTTP Sources" to the "Peers" section, the app freezes.
The freeze is really bad too. I can force quit the app and it locks up finder. And/or it won't lock up finder, but the app no longer shows up in the "force quit" menu, but the display is still present on my desktop with the beach ball spinning when you hover over it. If I try to shut down the system, it just won't. I can access the finder menu to do shutdown, but then it just hangs there. I have to physically power it off.
I've reverted to the 4.3.9 version and it's working great again.
