qBit torrent sends and receives packets on it's own even though i have no torrents downloading
and worst of all the packets being sent are marked under process
try it yourself, close all runing software, open your packet sniffer then open and close qbit several times, you'll notice that when it's open packets are being sent to random IPs.
what the fuck is this shady shit
fuck that
nope

Well first of all, what are they IPs? Have you looked them up?
No, didn't give a shit where they're from, all i care right now is that they're bad news
however i'll do some whois right now
Look up DHT, or how you can download shit from magnet links.
>He doesn't know about DHT.
The first IP's whois links to a brazilian news website, the fuck?
second IP whois links to this indian website apnic.net
It's simple.
If it's free, you're the product.
To be honest, doing this on Windows is retarded. You're going to have a lot of "noise" because Windows sends shit constantly.
Try doing this with a bare-bones Linux distro, for example Arch with IceWM.
This says exactly nothing. Stop being paranoid and let bittorrent do it's thing. Install a FOSS client if you want to be sure your client isn't malicious.

qBittorrent is open source.
Have a look at the source code and let us know what you find
>links to this indian website
>this indian website
>the website of a major internet registry responsible for IP block allocation
Uh-huh.
Obvious suggestion, is it perhaps querying innocuous IP block allocation data, considering what organization that site belongs to? It certainly doesn't look malicious.
Dude, he's 100% right. Stop shilling proprietary software and/or services.
>DHT: (148 nodes)
Retard
And why exactly is it running DHT? I don't see any torrents in the que.
That's true but there are hobbyist labors of love so to speak. I thank Stallman for convincing nerds that there's something virtuous about working for free.

QBittorrent is a free and open source client you fools, how about you check what you're replying to before you break out your canned responses?
>not using Transmission
faggot
You can't retrieve trackerless magnet torrents without being connected to DHT . How do you think decentralized networks work, retrieve shit from nothingness?
What if there's a botnet that only runs on pre-compiled Windows binaries?
running anything on windows basically makes it a botnet
This is why you compile your own binaries people
hahahaa oh wow
You anti-qbittorrent shills have gone too far
Keep posting your garbage on this board, while I enjoy the superior FREE alternative to utorrent
Then compile it from source instead of using the binary
This.
Where did the whole "qBittorrent is proprietary" meme even come from?
>using a client literally coded by faggots
>while calling other people faggots
Oh the ironing
Just let them mine some monero with your cpu, its the least you can do to pay for all that free tranny porn
>Go into firefox threads where they're talking about its botnet
>Answer is to compile it from source
>Go into this thread about qBittorrent potentially being botnet
>Answer is to compile it from source
Gee this is really making me want to Install Gentoo
It's not a botnet you fucktards, OP has DHT enabled, you can even see in his pic "148 nodes"
It's receiving incoming connections from the last torrent you downloaded. They think you're still seeding.
Shouldn't those connections belong to the qbittorrent.exe process?
OP here
i just had a fresh windows install and this is the first time i install qbit
>DHT: 148 NODES
what is DHT, you ask?
en.wikipedia.org
in layman's terms:
>DHT
DHT makes it possible for clients to use magnet links, by checking the info in the magnet link with other people's clients, to get you connected so you can torrent.
most of the people in this thread are complete idiots, with the exception of:
Depends how it's coded, I guess they don't show up under qbittorrent.exe because of some fast-connection optimization shit, since DHT connections don't have to stay open long (iirc it should just be sending a packet and receiving a response, then moving onto the next DHT peer)
no op but should I disable DHT? what
this is the kind of retards posting on Sup Forums now.
Well DHT means almost every torrent you add, an announcement gets sent to every DHT peer you're connected to (usually 200+ peers) to find other people seeding the torrent, so maybe disable it if you're scared of that.
I keep it enabled though because public trackers suck ass and barely connect for me half of the time. If you're using a private tracker you don't really need to worry since the torrent files themselves disable DHT for that torrent.
But yeah, sites like iknowwhatyoudownloaded use DHT to find what torrents people are downloading, wouldn't be surprised if antipiracy groups use it too.
please no bully excuse my stupid question. don't have the time to look up the documentation on DHT.
thank you kind user.
