r/qBittorrent

so Google AI tells me that I can do torrent queuing or tagging with force resume

What I want to do is give torrents with 1-9 seeders as much uploading bandwidth as they can use then give the remaining uploading bandwidth to torrents that have lots of seeders. Which one of these methods should I choose or is there another way that is even better?

I have a qbittorrent-nox installation that works great as it sits with the webui on port 8080. I have a signed cert and use HTTPS to connect to the webUI. The other day I thought, why don't I just move it over to 443 so I don't have to type the port anymore. When I did that I found qbittorrent-nox was no longer trying to open the port to listen on the machine. If I change it back to 8080 it works just fine. There are two places I change the port, one in the .service file using the --webui-port=443 and the qbittorrent.conf file WEBUI\Port=443. When they are set to 8080 and I restart the service, I can access the webui, when they are set to 443, I cannot. I used nmap to make sure the port was not open. There are no services on the machine using port 443. Below are excerpts or whole files from the system.

Hello,

I need to rename A LOT of files (350) on qBitTorrent. I know you can do a right click on a file and do rename but is there an option to do massively?

Brave AI Leo is “helping” me set up python and jackett and I may have received faulty info or understood it wrong

Hi, want to share a knowledge for all my fellow dumbasses out there (like me) that spent days to understand the cause of the problem

The setup:

- ugeeen nas(ugos)

- qBittorrent in Docker (linuxserver image)

- watch folders configured to auto add torrent files

- CPU constantly at 100-150%, even with RSS disabled

- logs with "duplicate torrent" errors

The problem:

My watch folders was created under root for some reason, even though I created them as my admin user.

qBittorrent runs as abc (UID 1000) inside the container, so it could read the torrent files but cant delete them after adding to client.

The loop:

1. .torrent file drop in watch folder

2. qBittorrent adds it successfully

3. qBittorrent try to delete it but fails due to permissions

4. qBittorrent sees the file again

5. "Duplicate torrent detected" → tries to add again → fails → rinse and repeat ♾️

Watch folder permissions are probably broken. Make sure the user inside the container can WRITE/DELETE files in watch folders, not just READ them. Or qBittorrent will try to add the same torrents forever. Result: CPU dropped from 150% to 5% instantly.

Hope this saves someone else from the same problem

Hey guys, I'm currently stuck behind CGNAT with no public IP, which means I obviously can't port forward. Because of this, I'm basically a passive user and can't connect to any other passive leechers out there.

As soon as my downloads hit 100%, my upload speed pretty much drops to zero. I'm convinced CGNAT is completely killing my ability to seed anything.

Is there even any point in leaving my client open at this point? Am I actually helping the swarm at all, or am I just wasting electricity?

Also, is there any workaround for this besides paying for a premium VPN that supports port forwarding? Does making sure IPv6 is enabled help with this nowadays, or am I just out of luck? I really want to keep a good ratio and give back, but right now it feels almost impossible. Thanks

(By the way, I'm pretty new to torrenting, so sorry if this is a dumb question or if I got some terms wrong. Still trying to learn the ropes!)

Yesterday I got a notification my arr stack wasn't functioning anymore because gluetun needed to be updated, after updating the image and starting the stack again everything worked nicely except for Qbittorrent. It says it's running in docker but can't connect to it anymore, looking at the logs it shows the following:

I've double checked the PUID and PGID through SSH and that's still correct, I've also double checked all the other containers and they work fine. I can connect to every single one except for Qbittorrent.

I'm honestly at a loss at what the problem could be, does anyone have any idea or tips?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, when trying to connect it gives a NS_ERROR_NET_EMPTY_RESPONSE error message

SOLVED

Should someone find this post after having the same problem. A user mentioned that after updating gluetun the container id changed and when building qbittorrent it binds the id to the container. I had to take down the qbittorrent container and rebuild it so it picks up the new id. After doing that qbittorrent immediately started listing on the assigned ports again and all the arr containers can communicate with it again.

I just got a VPN and am able to upload to torrents, and I want to share a lot of my upload speed. I have about 30MB/s down and up but I'm only able to get 30 MB/s down and an average around 1-4 MB/s up on m qBittorent. I would like at least 15 MB/s up on average normally.

I am using Proton VPN and am on P2P with port forwarding and it binded to the client. I also have the connection limits raised to 1500 global max and 500 max per torrent. There is no limit on upload speed set.

I have around 1200 connected peers across 6+ torrents and a bunch of other small ones with nobody. Some have 400 peers with 200KB/s up and some have 40 peers with 10KB/s up. I also just updated to the newest qBittorent version.

I'm stumped, any ideas?

So since yesterday afternoon I have not been able to download a single thing on my PC. At first I thought it was just a magnet link error but even when I try to download the torrent file and add to Qbittorrent it just sits there and says "status stalled". Just to see if it was an error with the software or my PC I tried to download the files on my phone and had no trouble whatsoever so I'm just wonder has anyone else been experiencing this or dealt with it in the past and what to do to fix it going forward ? Thanks!

*EDIT* Forgot to mention I am on Windows 10 not sure if that would matter or not.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Taurent, an open-source qBittorrent remote client made with Tauri, React, and Rust.

https://preview.redd.it/rimaxxxgkdah1.png?width=1698&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3f6a1f4ed4d6cd20fdbab3ae42e08e6baaab749

I like using a native app so I used Codex and Opencode to assist be to build this on a tech stack i'm somewhat familiar with.

If you already run qBittorrent with the Web UI enabled, Taurent provides a more native desktop and mobile app for managing it.

Here’s what it can do right now:

* Connect to a remote qBittorrent Web UI server

* Add, pause, resume, delete, rename, recheck, and reannounce torrents

* Browse live transfer state with filters for status, category, tags, and trackers

* Inspect torrent details, files, peers, trackers, and general properties

* Manage categories, tags, transfer limits, queueing, privacy, and other qBittorrent settings

* Use qBittorrent search and RSS features when the server supports them

* Save multiple server profiles

* Store credentials using platform secure storage when available

* Desktop integrations like tray menu, notifications, torrent file association, and utility windows

* On desktop, map a remote or network download path to a local or mounted location, so you can open torrent files and folders directly from the app

* Mobile-oriented UI for Tauri mobile builds

Desktop is the main focus for now, with builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Android APKs are available as unsigned beta artifacts, and iOS exists in the workspace but isn’t available yet (I'm creating my developer account to publish it soon 🤞).

I would really appreciate feedback from people who frequently use the Web UI. I've been using it for the last 3 months on macOS and iOS or so and I think it's ready for everyone to use.

Thanks for checking it out. Bug reports, feature ideas, document improvements, and PRs are very welcome.
