How to troubleshoot "expected value (list, dict, int or string) in bencoded string" in qBittorrent?

I am experiencing a persistent tracker error in qBittorrent (v5.2.2) and am looking for advice on how to troubleshoot it.

The Error: [Not working] expected value (list, dict, int or string) in bencoded string

Context:

  • My client is successfully communicating with peers via DHT, PeX, and LSD, but the specific tracker URL is returning the error above.
  • I have confirmed that my network connection is stable and other traffic is unaffected.
  • I am looking for advice on whether this is typically a client-side configuration issue, a cache/database issue within the software, or if there is a way to force a refresh of the tracker data that clears this specific error.

Any advice on where to look in the logs or which settings might influence how the client parses tracker responses would be appreciated.

Hi! I'm a newbie who recently bought a used ThinkPad. I spent weeks researching how to inspect a used laptop and put everything I learned into this guide. Hopefully it helps someone else avoid expensive mistakes ;).

ANY Feedback is very welcome & if I missed anything or got something wrong, let me know please.
