Go to the right variant update download link

qBittorrent & operating system versions

OS: Windows 11 (10.0.22xxx)
Qt: 6.4.3
Libtorrent: 2.0.11.0
Boost: 1.84.0
OpenSSL: 1.1.1w
zlib: 1.3.1

What is the problem?

I was willing to try libtorrent 2.0, so I installed the qB lt20 variant on Windows 11.

However, I found that the update link, as prompted by qB, is still the default version (lt12).

NOTE: The default builds for all OSs switched to libtorrent 1.2.x from 2.0.x. Builds for libtorrent 2.0.x are also offered and are tagged with lt20. The switch happened due to user demand and perceived performance issues. If until now you didn't experience any performance issue then go ahead and use the lt20 builds.

I know, but my point was that lt20's updated link was wrong.

The update window gives me that: https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.6.4_x64_setup.exe

Correct: https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html?dwl=qbittorrent_4.6.4_lt20_qt6_x64_setup.exe

Since lt12 and lt20 are now built in parallel, there should be a link for each variant to the update that applies to that variant, rather than the default version.

The current version check doesn't/can't determine if libtorrent 1.2.x or 2.0.x is in use, it just checks if a new version is available & downloads the default set on the main site which was changed to libtorrent 1.2.x as previously stated.

@sledgehammer999 Is there anything we can do about this (version check)?? - the transition to libtorrent 2.0.x & indeed it's enhancement IMO is hindered by this default change.
