Comment 7 for bug 758291

Well, then please send me the torrent for me to test (chris <at> qbittorrent.org). If I'm able to reproduce, I may be able to fix it.

To confirm the initialization problem, you can also try to pass the torrent directly as program argument:
qbittorrent path/to/file.torrent

This way, we can make sure it is a race/initialization problem on start up and that it has nothing to do with folder watching.
