QBittorrent Randomly Shuts Down?

Ubuntu 14.04

I have qBittorrent installed but it is randomly closing after a few minutes. There is no error message or anything so I am not sure why it is behaving like this.

I am just begining to learn about Linux/Ubuntu so as yet I don't know much about it.

Edit:
Just ran it through the terminal and got the following:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast

I have toggled with the download options, limiting the amount of downloads and uploads allowed to run at the same time. I have also unchecked the 'use proxy for peer connections' box.

This seems to have solved the problem.
