Private tracker I use requires whitlisted versions of qBittorrent, and 5.3.0 (version used on latest SparkBox) is not whitelisted

Posted by DemonsElemental

Is there an option to pick an app version or downgrade to a specific version? If I can not choose the app version in SparkBox, I will have to use qBittorrent outside of SparkBox until my tracker whitelists 5.3.0. If there is no way to downgrade currently, or to pin an app version so it does not update, can that be added as a feature?

Thanks for the clear write-up. You're right that SparkBox currently installs qBittorrent 5.3.0, so your tracker is ahead of it. Short answer: SparkBox has no version picker and cannot move an app back to an older version. What it does have is a hold on the Updates page. When SparkBox is offering an update for an app, you can hold that app on the version it runs now, and SparkBox skips the offered version. The hold ends by itself when a later SparkBox release moves that app to a newer version, and it reminds you after 30 days. It will not change a version that is already installed. So the hold only helps if qBittorrent is still on the older version and the update is still waiting. Could you tell me which qBittorrent version your box is running now, and whether the Updates page is offering qBittorrent an update?
