I apologise if this isn't allowed, but I posted this bug report on Github and it hasn't received a response, so I thought it might be better to paste it here. It is issue #950 on Github.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using the latest version (0.18.4) on Windows 7 SP1 x64.

QuiteRSS crashes about 5 times a day, and it seems to be related to the proxy server I'm using. This is the latest error message from Windows:

QuiteRSS has stopped working

The debug file in the QuiteRSS directory shows a huge stream of the same proxy-related entries (I've edited out my username & proxy address)::

27.10.2016 09:28:39.084 WARNING: QNetworkAccessCache::addEntry: overriding active cache entry 'auth:proxy-socks5://my_usernameproxy_address.com:1080'
27.10.2016 09:28:39.084 WARNING: QNetworkAccessCache::addEntry: overriding active cache entry 'auth:proxy-socks5://proxy_address.com:1080'

The debug file is almost entirely made up of the above entries. Occasionally, the following entry can be seen sandwiched between the others:

27.10.2016 09:28:39.623 WARNING: QNativeSocketEngine::read() was called not in QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState or QAbstractSocket::BoundState

Thanks for your time.
