Critically important setting in qBittorrent 4.4.0 for creating torrents.

qBittorrent (qBT) has recently introduced support for BitTorrent v2 in versions 4.4.0 and later.

Please make this once off change in your qBT client. When clicking on 'Tools' then 'Torrent Creator' you are prompted with a screen similar to this image.



In the newer versions of qBT there is now a new section called 'Torrent format'.

Please set this to V1 ONLY and never to Hybrid or V2.

Whilst qBT is not the only client to introduce support for BitTorrent v2 it's one of the most popular clients here at TVC. We do not support V2 torrents at this stage and most probably won't ever as this splits up potential seeders and effectively thins the herd so to speak which is never good for a private tracker. There is a Hybrid format which attempts to accommodate both V1 and V2 but we've discovered that torrent clients such as Transmission do not understand this Hybrid format so it's a non starter for now.

In summary when creating a torrent using whatever client you have, if it offers a torrent format of choice always pick V1 and never the other two.

For interest sake, qBT is developed using the libtorrent library which is an open source implementation of the BitTorrent protocol.
