Without context, I would suggest Transmission for troubleshooting. Qbittorrent is bloating and weird on Windows.
The torrents should be hashed, but that wouldn't stop someone from making a bad torrent or seeding one.
If someone made a file intentionally collided it would probably cause issues. These aren't collision issues, but bad chunks of data.

At a peek, it seems that this attack only causes delays in downloads. It's more possible that there are commonly shared files with similar issues.
Qbittorrent just gives you options you can choose if you use qt 5 or qt 6 and the version of libtorrent.
Is there any reason not to use the latest version of libtorrent?
i think some people had some problems with it. but don't know exactly what that was because i never had any problems.
