qBittorrent - new downloads stuck stalled

I want to start by start by remarking on how FEW issues I’ve had with Linuxserver containers over the years. Thank you for the work you all put into these.

Issue: I do a daily pull for updates and noticed today that new torrents added to qBittorrent get immediately stuck in a Stalled state and has no peers.

The last time I had any issue with this container was due to how updates in qBittorrent interacted with MergerFS which I was able to correct in MerferFS fstab settings and I’ve been good until now. I suspect it is not due to an interaction with MergerFS because re-checks go just fine. It seems to be some kind of networking issue.

Something else that points to networking issues is the fact that the trackers I use also reported that I was seeding nothing, despite having 2300+ torrents in qb. That all went back to normal after pulling down the tag specified below.

Based on my interaction with lsio support last time, I have tried running specific tags to see what works as I go backward and noticed that libtorrentv1-version-release-4.6.7_v1.2.19 is working for me. I’m hoping that that information might help zero in on my issue so I can go about fixing it.

Pertinent portion of docker compose:

  qbittorrent:
    #image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:libtorrentv1-version-release-4.6.7_v1.2.19
    container_name: qbittorrent
    cpu_shares: 1023
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - WEBUI_PORT=8282
    volumes:
      - /opt/qbittorrent:/config
      - /mnt/cstor:/stor
      - /home/user/downloads:/watch
    ports:
      - 50000:50000
      - 50000:50000/udp
      - 8282:8282
    restart: unless-stopped

Without changing anything else besides which qb image I pull, it works as you see it here but is broken using latest.

In case it’s part of the issue again, here is my fstab showing how MergerFS is set up:

Please let me know if any other system information would be helpful.

Update:

I pulled latest today and tested a small download which worked fine…
