Wow this sure is overstated. The biggest actual risk here is ISPs doing deep inspection and getting data from private trackers.
Not nothing, but the ‘RCE’ they are claiming relies on an edge case and a lot of manual work on the part of a potential attacker who would also need to be able to intercept your traffic on the off chance you run qbit on windows and use qbit to install python.
This, to me, is a big nothing burger.
Bit overblown given you need to be on windows, actively MITM attacked and manually updating Python via qbittorrent
Nice… I was putting off 5.0.0 because I never install major releases until there’s been a patch. I worked in software too long to trust.
Upgrade to 5.0.1 to patch.
Thanks for posting OP 👍
Will be updating tonight, cheers
I switched back to nzb full time last week. Don’t need to run a VPN and it is more stable. It’s still cheaper than streaming with 2 paid indexers and 2 paid servers.
not including the full speed and no need to think about seeds. I miss using usenet, should go back to it.
I do stremio + torrentio addon + real Debrid.
Interface and features on par with any modern streaming service (continue watching, new episode alerts, library, categories, search etc), every show and movie all in one app, full speed, no need for VPN or worry about seeds (I’ve found shows with 0 seeds that work because it was cached on real Debrid) for $3/month.
Also supports a ton of devices/TV’s. Dead simple to use once it’s set-up, my parents and in laws both use it with no issue on Chromecast with Google TV after I set it up for them.
Paid indexers? Isn’t everything on the DHT anyhow? And a VPN is only $2/mo.
