Qbittorrent won't start any torrents

I have a RN 104 and am using the qbittorrent app. However when I try to add a torrent manually (a torrent that will worn on my PC) nothing starts and no download appears.

The Version is 1.0.3 and 2.9.8

any help is appreciated.


If it's useful at all, Transmission will start torrents thought I would like a program that starts torrents automatically from a folder.

  • I've tried with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

    Firefox doesn't really work at all, number of the buttons are clickable and the bottom tracker info and file info bar doesn't appear.

    It appears this person has had the same issue I have.
  • I just purchased, and started working with, a ReadyNas RN102 (OS 6.x). After installing the QBittorrent app, I was able to access the web interface but no torrents would start. Basically, nothing was having any effect.

    I found that, by default, the web interface was trying to connect to the qbittorrent service on port 7079 whereas the process was starting on the default 8080. Port 7079 seems best so I configured the process to use that port. (What was strange was that port 7079 was specified as the correct listening port but did not appear to be used).

    In case it solves your issue, I did the following:

    1. Stopped the QBittorrent App from the ReadyNAS admin page -> Apps

    2. Edited /etc/init.d/qbittorrentr6 and added " -- $DAEMON_ARGS" to the end of the line as follows:
    start-stop-daemon --chuid $USER -b --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_ARGS


    3. Started the QBittorrent App from the ReadyNAS admin page -> Apps

    4. Launched the QBittorrent web client
