The `announce_port` setting permits to overwrite the port passed along to trackers as the `&port=` parameter. If left as the default, the listening port is used. This setting is only meant for very special cases where a seed's listening port differs from the effectively exposed port (e.g., through external NAT-PMP). See https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/pull/7771 for an example use-case.
This PR adds the relevant setting alongside the existing `announce_ip` setting.
PR #21692.
Trackers specified at the URL will be added to newly added public torrents.
This feature is adapted from qBittorrent-Enhanced-Edition to allow for automatically adding trackers retrieved from a URL. @ngosang's trackerlist repo is a good example, however I've opted not to include a default URL.
Partially addresses #14535.
PR #21828.
This change displays the last detected IPv4 and/or IPv6 address(es) in the GUI and WebUI's status bar. This does not yet handle systems with multiple addresses of the same type (e.g. multiple IPv6 addresses).

This change extends the Advanced section of the Preferences menu with a new field, allowing changing the time statistics save interval. A zero value will prevent recurrent saving.
This aims to provide the feature requested in issue #21285.
PR #21291.
The 'SSL torrent' feature is not standardized. I.e. there are no BEP (BitTorrent Enhancement Proposals) associated with it, so we do not greatly encourage its usage as it will only work with libtorrent clients and derivatives. It will not work with other torrent clients that do not support the libtorrent specific implementation.
This PR aims to provide minimal support for those who need SSL torrents. Furthermore, it is intended that there will be no UI support (nor indication) of adding/creating SSL torrents.
* Prerequisites:
I omit the instructions of creating those files as the intended audience (experts & advanced users) should have no problem with it. All files are as follow:
1. Root (torrent publisher) certificate
2. Root private key
3. A .torrent file created with root certificate
5. Peer certificate (signed by the root certificate)
6. Peer private key
7. Diffie-Hellman parameters file
All files are stored in .pem format.
* Enable SSL torrent protocol in qbt
There are 2 hidden keys to put in qbt config file, under `[BitTorrent]` section:
1. `Session\SSL\Enabled`: set it to `true`.
2. `Session\SSL\Port`: set it to some unused port or omit the key entirely to let qbt pick one for you.
* Add an SSL torrent to qbt
The only way of adding an SSL torrent is via WebAPI. The `/api/v2/torrents/add` endpoint will support 3 additional parameters. You must provide them for an SSL torrent.
1. `ssl_certificate`: Contents of the peer certificate file (in PEM format).
2. `ssl_private_key`: Contents of the peer private key file.
3. `ssl_dh_params`: Contents of the Diffie-Hellman parameters file.
* Change the SSL parameters to a torrent
In case you provided wrong SSL parameters when adding a torrent, there is a new endpoint `/api/v2/torrents/setSSLParameters` that you can update the SSL parameters. The parameters (`ssl_*`) are the same as `/api/v2/torrents/add` endpoint.
* Query the SSL parameters of a torrent
There is a new endpoint `/api/v2/torrents/SSLParameters` that you can query the SSL parameters of a torrent.

Such helpers do not make practical sense, since they can be trivially implemented on top of the base interface, but at the same time they can lead to undesirable consequences when some calling code requires slightly different behavior than another.
PR #18367.
Fixes#18338.
Add a UI option for "Use proxy for hostname lookup" option and plumb
it into libtorrent's settings_pack.proxy_hostnames option. This is
available for SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies, and defaults to true, which
is the previous functionality. Hostname lookups can be forced to be
local by unchecking this option, which can aid compatibility with
certain non-compliant proxy servers.

(Actually it should close all issues about lack of ability to stop torrent after metadata downloaded or after files are initially checked.)
Also makes explicit the temporary start of the torrent in the case when recheck of the stopped torrent is performed.
PR #17668.
This is a continuation of #17576.
Handles the case when you add hybrid torrent by v1-only magnet link and this torrent is already known by its full hybrid info hash (i.e. by both v1 and v2 info hashes).
Reduce the total startup time of the application and maintain sufficient responsiveness of the UI during startup due to the following:
1. Load resume data from disk asynchronously in separate thread;
2. Split handling of loaded resume data in chunks;
3. Reduce the number of emitting signals.
