It was pointed out to me in the reddit forum that this is the problem of distro (Arch) and not of ktorrent itself.

Thanks for the update; changing status.

Arch user here. I cannot find any bug reports on this on Arch side, nor can I find any such reference anywhere.

So who says it's an Arch bug and on what do they base this?

Not a "bug" per say but a choice.
On 6-09-2019, a workaround was issued in Arch to resolve the geoip error.
This included the disabling of info widget which causes the bottom options to disappear.

Plus it is evident that this is a distro problem and not a problem of package itself as the error occurs in 5.1.1~2.
