Why does qBittorrent download search indexes when I click update, and do I need to worry about being infected because of it?
Yeah, I was wrong before. I don’t like this one bit, but I very much doubt there is any malicious intent from anyone at qBit.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will step in and offer some insight.
I don’t believe there are any malicious intentions, but there are two other things that i don’t like. Their forum only permits sign-ups with Gmail and Outlook, and their website has a very strict Cloudflare DDoS protection police. I understand the rationale behind Cloudflare’s DDoS protection policy, but I would prefer if they used another DDoS protection provider.

I went to see if it was true because I found it hard to believe, but you are right. I don’t understand why it is like this, given the nature of the program and the whole philosophy behind it.
I guess that we can consider ourselves lucky that they don’t use Google’s CAPTCHA.
Tomorrow I will raise an issue on their repo, I want to see what is the official stance on all this bullshit.
Thanks for making a issue. Can share the link with us so that we can follow the discussions.
