Doesn't inhibit suspend when seeding

[polochamps]

Ubuntu 16.04
qbittorrent 3.3.1
System still goes to suspend when seeding.
Inhibit Sleep/Suspend feature only works during downloads.

Do you know if it goes to sleep when torrents are in seeding/downloading status but no activity? If it blocks sleep only when there is network activity not just torrent status?

Do you know if it goes to sleep when torrents are in seeding/downloading status but no activity?

• Yes. Seeding with peers but no upload activity.

If it blocks sleep only when there is network activity not just torrent status?

• I'd like to think that is the case but this wasn't happening before even if there was no activity as long as it is "seeding" the inhibit of sleeping works.

Just for comparison, I just tried the same torrent (seeding with no upload activity) with Transmission and the inhibit feature works.

Well the system would never go to sleep if you have a few hundred torrents as there would always be (active) torrents without network traffic, but I guess that setting would not be for people with that many torrents?

I'm also unable to prevent sleep using qBittorrent even after enabling:

• Tools > Options > Behavior
  • [ x ] Inhibit system sleep when torrents are active

DIAGNOSTIC (on Windows)

How to know if prevent sleep isn't working?

1. Launch qBittorrent
2. Enable Inhibit system sleep when torrents are active
3. Have an active download status running (dl something).

Afterwards run powercfg -requests...

$ powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
None.

AWAYMODE:
None.

If it does work it'll show the following (but it doesn't always necessarily work. It's definitely a hit or miss, you have to be lucky for it to work)...

$ powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] High Definition Audio Device (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0887&SUBSYS_10438445&REV_1003\4&3ad857fa&0&0001)
An audio stream is currently in use.
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume5\download\internet\qBittorrent\_file\qbittorrent.exe

AWAYMODE:
None.

NOTE

• The option to prevent sleep within qBittorrent may work only after a fresh install (it appeared in powercfg -requests the 1st-time around). The problem is now it's NOT showing up at all.
• I can't find a reason why it only sometimes works.

Is there any way to fix this? I've been trying everything, but my computer still enters sleep mode with active torrents.

[polochamps]

Any updates on this? I'm on Windows 10 running qbittorrent 3.3.5.

Running 3.3.5 on Windows 7-64 bit. Computer went to sleep overnight whilst downloading a torrent.

Win7-64 running V3.3.7 with only 2 seeds, but no network activity = goes to sleep. This is unacceptable. Should go to sleep ONLY when ALL torrent are in "Completed" state, which is the expected behavior and the behavior of other Torrent client.

There is a reason why you want to prevent the computer to go to sleep: To make sure that if and when a peer shows up, your client is ready to share. Sharing is impossible while sleeping... I expect my Torrent client to go to sleep only if there is no transfer possible = all torrent are turned off ("Complete" state).

Now I have 2 choices: Manually turning sleep off every time I want to torrent stuff with Qbittorrent OR go back to uTorrent...

This is my first time trying qBittorrent. I'm not too impressed so far :(

Win7x64 Actively downloading over 1MB/s and PC goes to sleep :(

This is pretty basic torrent client stuff.
