This is compatible with previous qBittorrent versions, looking at the code. Should be actually tested before merging, though.

Appears to fix the issue on my end; would love to see this merged and released.

I hacked together a binary release using the patch from this pr via the existing release workflow to get the static binaries for testing

For people to test:

https://github.com/userdocs/flood/releases/tag/v4.7.1

Work fine in WSL2 in testing

release-4.4.5_v1.2.17 + v4.7.1
release-4.4.3.1_v1.2.17 v4.7.1

4.3.9 worked as well in basic testing with an Ubuntu torrent. So I tested these as working with the PR so far.

release-4.3.9_v1.2.17
release-4.4.3.1_v1.2.17
release-4.4.5_v1.2.17

@jesec Any clue why grabbing the rTorrent binaries didn't work? Maybe try rerunning it?

"Error 404 – Not Found
GitHub produced an error for the download of artifact #253531637.

Usually this means that the artifact has expired (>90 days)."

Following the link manually also fails so a rerun won't work. Looks like the binary upload expired and needs to be renewed?

Edit: I may have misunderstood; you may have meant rerun the workflow on the rTorrent repo in which case, yes 👍 - I thought you meant rerun the failing workflows.

Ah, didn't go to the link manually to see that message (I don't see it in the logs).

(Did you see that message without going to the site?)

Correct.

I thought you meant rerun the failing workflows.

I did mean that, since I didn't know the error was expected.

Nope, I manually went to the link that the workflow is attempting to download in order to see that message.
