FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Nothing is downloading after re-installing windows, how to fix that?

If you have installed a fresh version of Windows, some important components like the certificate store may be outdated. This can cause issues when you try to download anything using qBittorrent as it won't be able to verify our tracker certificate.

To resolve this, please update your Windows installation. To do so, click on the Start menu, then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. Once you see available updates, install them and restart your system.

If the issue still persists, you can disable HTTPS certificate verification from qBittorrent settings. However, this will reduce your client's security and is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary. To disable the option, open qBittorrent and go to Options (Alt+O) > Advanced > Disable the "Validate HTTPs tracker certificate" option > Apply and restart qBt.
