After upgrading to Plasma 5.11.3, every time I open Ktorrent it freezes indefinitely. I tried running it for terminal. You can see the log in the attachments.

Thanks to your stack info I think I found the problem and a workaround. It has something to do with the websearch plugin, so disabling the plugin made ktorrent work again.

I disabled it by changing the following line in ~/.config/ktorrentrc:
from
SearchPluginEnabled=true
to
SearchPluginEnabled=false

I guess to really fix this bug ktorrent needs to be ported from qtwebkit to qtwebengine.

hope this helps

It worked, thanks.

I have the same issue with ktorrent in my Arch Linux install. My workaround was uninstalling the kdewebkit package.
