macOS 26 (Tahoe) & qBittorrent compatibility

[christosmichalopoulos]

Something strange is happening with qBittorrent (5.0.4) that I have installed on my computer for years.
I use Apple OS, Sequoia on my laptop and since this week Tahoe for my desktop.
As soon as I installed Tahoe, qBittorent stopped downloading, while it continues to upload!
Meanwhile on my laptop, qBittorrent (5.0.4) continues to download and upload at the same time!

Any help?

• qbittorrent 5.0.5 is currently the latest version available for macOS.
• macOS 26 (Tahoe) has just been released 3 days ago
• We haven't done any real testing on macOS 26 (Tahoe) & we're in short supply of Mac Developers/Contributors.
• Have you tested any of the "latest developmental builds" on macOS26 (Tahoe)?

• I downloaded 5.0.5. already. The problem is there too! (I’ll explain the problem soon).
• I am not a developer, therefore I haven’t tested "latest developmental builds" on macOS26. I am just an ordinary end user.
• The problem is the following: When I connected to internet, I can visit any site, download anything, send an e-mail etc. In qBittorrent (both 5.0.4 & 5.0.5) there is normal uploading action, but there is not any downloading action!
• I tried to download with qBittorrent using two different wifi networks. The same problem exists, in using both of them.
• I use qBittorrent application when I use my laptop and my desktop.
  Desktop: Apple Mac mini M4 24/512. MacOS 26 (Tahoe).
  Laptop: Apple MacBook Pro m1 16/512 MacOS 15.
• My opinion is that so far qBittorrent is the best torrent application. Frankly, I will be sad to abandon it.
• I appreciate your fast response. Thank you very much for your time!

FWIW - I've tried the various nightlies, different lib configs, and am experiencing the same results. I watched the console to see if it threw anything interesting before giving up, but didn't notice anything that stood out.

I'll keep trying every once in a while, or maybe build up a debugable version if I get the ADD motivation disease.

[xavier2k6]

I'll provide a build later built on macOS 26 (Tahoe) via Xcode 26.

Will give it a go. I've noticed I've had some problems with the beta/pre-release Little Snitch too, in cooperation with QBT so trying to regress that too.

New test build:

I am using this build for a while without any issues. are there any new builds that I can test?
