Torrents download when computer is sleep

But I want to keep my computer awake whenever I have qBittorrent on so that it can seed whenever someone new comes on the line I believe I may have the same problem.

I'd also like it to remain seeding while not on battery and closed, and then let it go to sleep when I'm on battery or I lose internet connection. Might be a bit more difficult cu achieve that with a laptop. Maybe try other torrenting software I'm not sure, but it seems that the inhibit sleep only works when the program is NOT minimized.

Leaving the window maximized and active in the foreground seems to prevent my computer from sleeping, while if the program is minimized the computer will sleep. Please let me know if I am wrong about this. Why this problem can't be resolved once for all? I have that problem since I had Windows 7 and now 10, still same problem. What is the meaning of introducing new functions and features, if some so long-standing problems can't be fixed?

Look at Windows, had a bug fixed after 37 years or how many It means do not lose hope, hahaha. This was more than likely fixed by PR which made it in to 4. This issue has been closed and locked for being too old, and thus either most likely resolved in recent versions or no longer applicable.

If you experience the reported problem or similar in the latest version, please open a new issue report with the requested information in the issue template. A new issue report with relevant updated data gathered from the latest version is preferable to necroing an old report with a comment like "still happens in version x. Due to the changes made to the qBittorrent code and its dependencies over time, the exact cause of your problem could be totally different than the original one, despite the visible symptoms of the bug being similar.

Thus, providing relevant updated information is crucial to find and fix the root cause of a recurrent problem or regression. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Labels Core. Copy link. Please provide the following information qBittorrent version and Operating System: qBitorrent v3.

What is the expected behavior: The computer does not go to sleep Steps to reproduce: Enable "Inhibit system sleep" in qBittorrent settings Set sleep delay at 1 min in Windows power settings Add a new torrent and wait for download to start Computer will go to sleep after 1 minute Extra info if any : The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:.

I don't experience high CPU usage. Seeker2 mentioned this issue Jul 31, High CPU usage after sleep Inhibit sleep feature is broken for me as well - on Win 10 64bit Home. Jul 15, 1, I have set my computer to go into Sleep Mode not Hibernation after 20 minutes of inactivity. But if I close the browser and leave the qBittorrent client open, the computer will go into Sleep Mode, even if files are downloading.

So my questions: Why does the computer go into Sleep Mode when files are downloading in qBittorrent? Is there a way to continue downloading these files while the computer is in Sleep Mode? Mar 18, 68 I don't think it's possible for torrents to be active while in sleep mode in windows.
