background downloading does not mean system background, but is a Kodi background. Means you don't need to watch something to keep downloading.

You write downloaded files on a flash/usb-flash? Kodi.log is needed here.

Earlier versions were not that much fast, and you have no error in Quasar, so it is probably operating system error. Often it's an issue with storage. You can try...

I'm not talking about Quasar installation. You Quasar starts fine, it's searching and starting download and then hangs without visible reason (while waiting for piece being ready for playback). Try...

@dastinger, on S905 when I tried with internal memory, sd-card, usb flash drive, every time i had lags and had to start play and pause immediately, then wait about 5-10...

You can test the latest version with the binary from this post: https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar/issues/843#issuecomment-303928622 Just to see if replacement of libtorrent in Quasar will make any difference.

That is not using libtorrent. Linux armv7?

For Mac OS use Darwin_x64 - https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar/releases/download/v0.9.78/plugin.video.quasar-0.9.78.darwin_x64.zip Install and replace binary with - [darwin_x64.zip](https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar/files/1030831/darwin_x64.zip) For Libreelec on armv7 - https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar/releases/download/v0.9.78/plugin.video.quasar-0.9.78.linux_armv7.zip Install and replace binary with - [linux_armv7.zip](https://github.com/scakemyer/plugin.video.quasar/files/1030833/linux_armv7.zip)

Hard to understand the problem without log files.

I have posted new version here - https://github.com/elgatito/plugin.video.quasar/releases/tag/v0.9.78 Few bugs fixed and some functionality added, so you can give it a try and post your `kodi.log` in return.
