Locked How to run atleast 2 or multiple instances of qbitorrent?

[AirFreshener]

Is it possible?

 

[Uncle Mac]

No.. Just asking for trouble and you wont gain anything

 

[AirFreshener]

well, my intent is to use the other one for regular downloading . the main one im currently using is exclusively for seeding.

Mmm, nope. Even if you for e.g. made a copy of the executable, they still will use the same working folders, which may cause conflicts between them. Not sure how simple qbitorrent is though.
Best to install a new torrent client that is not qbitorrent.

just found a way. hehe

Yup can be done very easily in varied ways. But the resource used will get double, even if portable or bin wise.

No benefits for this. A single instance can solve all the problems. If you'll use more you may:

1. throtle your connection
2. too many reads/writes wich may result in a short life for your hdd, especially if is mechanical and/or write/read errors and low access speed
3. more unnecesary cpu usage
4. an unstable system, even BSODs and/or restarts
5. huge cache needed, more virtual memory / RAM needed

Very true. More headache. Though portable one uses 33-35% less of everything. Did a comparison myself few weeks ago, for 3 days.
