Stalled or Downloading Metadata stuck

[gmeroni]

qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 4.6.5
Operating system: Linux 4.4.302+ x86_64
Qt: 6.7.1
libtorrent-rasterbar: 1.2.19.0

What is the problem?

I've recently upgraded from a very old version of qBit to the latest version. Since the upgrade, everything is either stalled or stuck on downloading metadata with no seeders. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm running everything on Portainer on my Synology.

Steps to reproduce

Just download and add a torrent from Sonarr or Radarr.

Additional context

No network change at all
Tried with tons of different images with hundreds of peers
I just re-deployed the container with new image
Tried all possible solution found on the internet - no luck
I tried even a clean start on a different path, no luck even on this case...

Log(s) & preferences file(s)

qbittorrent.log
qBittorrent.csv

Changed extension from .conf to .csv

This is not a qBittorrent issue, there are several reasons for this: no peers, DHT not working, wrong network interface. Maybe I forgot something else.

The fact that other factors might contribute is not a reason for discarding qBit issue.
Let me put more perspective then:

1. No network change at all
2. Tried with tons of different images with hundreds of peers
3. I just re-deployed the container with new image
4. Tried all possible solution found on the internet - no luck

Do you have the config file migrated from the old version? Try to wipe the client configuration (~/.config/qBittorrent and ~/.local/share/qBittorrent) and make a clean start.

Yes but then as you correctly suggest I tried even a clean start on a different path, no luck even on this case...

You are not alone, it is the same for me starting today on Windows 10. I've tried almost everything...

1. I've reset my router
2. I've reset the Windows Firewall
3. I've removed third-party firewall (TinyWall)
4. Downgraded to the previous version of qBittorrent

Nothing works...

Update

I notice this just now in the Execution Log. Gonna look into it I'll let you know.
2024-05-29 20:45 - The configured network interface is invalid. Interface: "ethernet_32773"

OMF!
I must be the best troubleshooter in the world! Problem solved.
BRB.

The ûber fix 😆😎

I think I know why what happened happened but I won't bore you with it.

Heck, how many times do have to say "don't change the default settings if you don't know what you're doing" for users to remember that? (thinking out loud)

Nobody changed anything, you should learn to read better before you open your food trap...

Of course, of course, it's self...

Conclusion: You need to learn to read before speaking, case closed.

I have the same issue; upgraded from 4.6.2 to 4.6.5 - not other changes to the system, and all downloads are stuck in "downloading metadata"

[chris-morris-528]

Same issue :(

[jansiee]

I also have the same issue! Since this week, no download starts anymore.

Checked the interfaces, it is on any interface. I have 130 DH Nodes.
Multiple peers and seeds, but I doesn't do anything..

[GKid94]

Still an issue

I changed to "any interface" and upgraded to 4.6.7 - it works well so far.
