MacOS: There is no option to disable download speed notifications in the Dock
qBittorrent & operating system versions
- os: MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1
- installed from installer
- chip: Apple M2 Pro.
- app: qBittorrent 4.6.4 (64-bit)
What is the problem?
Dock panel displays the download speed while files are downloading.
Problem: the download speed is constantly changing, which means the numbers on top of the application icon are changing. This is very distracting when working on another application while downloading a file.
I was looking for an option to disable these download speed notifications in the Dock:
- basic MacOS settings, but there is no application qBittorrent in the list of all apps;
- settings of the application itself.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find these settings.
If these settings exist, show me a place in the menu to disable these notifications, please.
If these settings do not exist, add this setting, please.

I second this. This is extremely annoying and can't find any option to disable it. How was it overlooked?
A nice feature. Would agree having option to turn off and on is preferable.
Yes, this is driving me crazy as well. I will say that using 4.6.7, I don't have the download speed appearing in Dock, but with any 5.x version, the download/upload speed appear and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them. For this reason, I've been sticking with 4.6.7.
By the way, I have found the offending folder here: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/tree/master/src/gui/macosdockbadge
It seems to contain the code which is displaying the download and upload speed in the dock. However, I'm not sure how to disable it, I kind of want to see if I could delete the files and references and rebuild the application locally.
@Kolcha Any plans for follow up PR's as per https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/19595#issue-1890961756?
I don't have mac anymore to work on some mac-specific tasks. I didn't have personal MacBook for a long time (since the end of 2021 at least), but had the one from work, but now I changed the job and don't have MacBook anymore. sorry.
