Thank you! very useful... Can't seem to figure out or find your video which shows where the /downloads folder is though.. I'm not sure how to find it.. config folder doesn't show for me.. A year ago you mentioned its in your playlist, but I can't find that too! Thanks again, sir!
Currently, I'm running in the issue that the files are "Completed" in Qbit, but they keep in my "Downloads" folder, they won't be shoved to the "completed" folders for Sonarr / Radarr or the media folders.
Hi @herohagen3773! It sounds like you have not mapped the categories properly for the Arrs. When a torrent is added from Sonarr, Radarr, etc. it should put a category for them. Once they finish downloading, they then get put in the specific folder for the application by QBitTorrent. Then, the Arr goes and checks for completed downloads in that specific folder. Check all of my related videos carefully. I configure them properly for it to work.
Followed the setup of QBitTorrent, but an added torrent says failed. Checked everything 10 times and can not find the cause of the error Found the cause. In shared folders you have to give yourself write/read permission on the folders. Counter intuitive because it says in the GUI I have write/read permission 🥴
Hi @--GOD--! I am not sure I am understanding your question regarding the magnet links. Can you please explain further? By default, the container will use the port 8080. You don't want to change the configuration of the port inside the application or the listening port of the container. You can change the exposed port in your host though. So, the container will continue listening on for 8080, for example, but you will reach it from outside using whichever port you pick on the left side of the ports section. It can be anything that is not currently being used in your host. The other port is the incoming torrent connections port. You can also change it to whatever you want in the left side, then open it in your firewall if necessary. Just don't change it in the right side or in the QBitTorrent UI. Hope it helps.
@@techbytetips I think he meant how to activate the HTTPS option in the settings menu of the webui. It tells you to set this up if you want magnet links you work properly.
Hi@@LukaElsner, see below. www.partitionwizard.com/resizepartition/qbittorrent-stalled.html I've only seen this when there isn't enough free space to download the torrents. Have you made sure that you mounted the paths properly and that you have enough space for your downloads?
Hmm my Sonarr isn't moving the completed downloads into my media folder automatically. Is it because my media folders are in a different location to my torrent downloads folder?
Wait, my files are copied from Downloads/completed et the corresponding media folder but the file in Donwnloads/completed is not deleted after this export and the file stays in the QBitTorrent list as seeding. Do I have to manually erase these files in the download folder ever now and then?
That's a known issue with the arrs and QBitTorrent. You can "pause" the torrents and then they can be deleted by the arrs. As long as they are actively seeding, they can't be deleted by the arrs. If you see "completed", then they can be auto deleted.
it's telling me that ports 6881, 8080 conflict with other services but I don't have any other services/containers using them. only things I've set up on my new nas are plex media server and roon server
8080 is a very commonly used port by Open Source applications. I can believe that one easily being used. Sadly, QBitTorrent containers are very annoying in demanding that port for the UI. The other one... I don't know. You can always change the port for the torrent connections.

This guide is great! Im fully set up, but had a question. After a download is successful the file is moved into /downloads/complete/sonarr. After that Sonarr copies the file over to my /TV root directory to be parsed by my media server. However, as far as I can tell that leaves 2 copies of the file on my server. 1 in /downloads/complete/sonarr and the other in /TV. Is there anyway to have sonarr automatically delete the file in /downloads when it is done moving it to the /TV root directory?
Normally it should behave like that but there is an issue with the arrs not clearing torrent clients for a while. Make sure to pause the torrent when done downloading loading and then it can clear it fine.
Hi @ocularpatdown. There is a configuration setting to automatically remove the torrents once the arrs import the files but it tends to not work as of now. It's a known bug. You can just manually pause them once they are done downloading and then the arrs will actually remove them. There is an option inside QBitTorrent to stop the torrent after a criteria is met. It can be the seeding ratio or time. But it is discouraged by the developers of the arrs to use that as they say it breaks the already broken removal of torrents.
Stalling can happen due to many things,@@ocularpatdown; for example, if there are not enough seeders/peers for the torrent, it will stall. Sometimes, when files that were supposed to be downloaded and you accidentally move them they stall until you do a force scan of the files. Try restarting your container and forcing a rescan or advertise.
Many things could have happened here. Did you change the port the container is listening on? Is the host port available (not assigned to anything else)? Additionally, are you using or ?
Hi! Once you know where the file is accessible by the container you just have to put the container path in tools > options > connection > ip filtering.

Do the torrents get removed or are you expecting seeders that simply don't exist? If the download is working, then, there are seeders. If you never see that you share anything back, it means that you are probably the only seeder. You can't earn upload credit on a torrent if there is no one to download from you.
@@techbytetips I thought the "12" shows other clients that want to leech. Like : Name Status Seeds Peers Name of torrent seede 0(2) 0(31) sometimes a peer connect for 1 sec and disconnect
My apologies. I misread. If it says 0(12) it means that there are 12 possible leechers but none are downloading from you. Is the torrent still active? Meaning it says seeding and not completed?
Hi! It is hard to help you. It's is not enough information. Where are you seeing that error? Which client are you using? Check posts like this: www.reddit.com/r/sonarr/comments/qbrmle/sonarr_pending_download_client_is_unavailable/
Yes you can. As long as you share a torrent using this application or Download Station, your files will be available for people to download. Let's say for example, you create a video that you want to share. You can use QBitTorrent to create a torrent and share the Magnet link or the Torrent file to friends and they can download the file(s) that you are sharing from your NAS.
Hi@@NTblog! I was working on making the video for you but I noticed a few things. 1. The QBitTorrent application, since it is running in Linux (container), doesn't have the Create Torrent option under Tools. The only way to create a torrent in linux is using the 'mktorrent' binary in the command prompt but it is also not included in it. 2. I checked Download Station and it also doesn't allow for the creation of torrents. This means that your options are: 1. Finding another container image that does include the mktorrent binary or has some sort of tool to create it in the GUI. 2. Use the QBitTorrent application in your Windows machine. The windows version does come with the Create Tool option. Then, you could grab the torrent from your NAS and, once it is done download it, remove it from your Windows PC and let the NAS do the seeding for you. It's a little bit cumbersome, but that's what you can do for now to seed from your NAS. I'll upload a video on how to do this.
Wow... it is hard to say with such little information. If you are doing this, you are installing the client without a VPN, your ISP could be blocking torrent traffic, for once. Try to see if the QBitTorrent logs say anything in the Docker app. The torrent could also be dead, malformed, or the tracker not working. Try to download a torrent that should be safe to download like a Linux .iso to test your torrent client. For example: releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso.torrent
@@techbytetips My ISP provider allows me to download because I have qBittorrent in Windows, on the same local network, working. I'm not using VPN. I've setup exactly as the tutorial.

Weird error for sure. Have you made sure that the user that you assigned to the container (PUID, PGID) has permissions to the folders that you are mapping? I've honestly never seen that error. Have you not mounted the iso accidentally in Windows?
Thanks for the response, after playing with Permissions a bit i ultimately ended up rebuilding the container.

I am not sure that I am understanding your question. When you specify the volumes, you create a folder for QBitTorrent (5:00) in the configuration folder for our docker containers and you pass it to the container to be mounted in the /config path. Once the container is started, it will look for a configuration file. If it cannot find it, it will create it.
Hi thx for this tuto. It’s working perfectly but I found out that after the download and copy finished, qbittorrent keep seeding and not delete the files. Do you have a way to solve that ?
It's currently a problem with some of the arr applications. Some people have suggested that you make the torrent stop once it reaches a 100% download instead of seeding and the apps kind of handle them better. I'm currently having the same issue. I just go once every week and delete the torrents that are left.
@@techbytetipshave you solved this yet? Also how to setup that they stop after downloading? Furthermore this means that your allocated space gets used rather quickly because the files will be in 2 separate locations, right?
Hi@@pret5986 . It is currently an issue with the applications. I just go into QBitTorrent and "pause" the torrents. Then, they are usually removed and cleaned by the arrs. If not, I delete them myself after.

@chi94 Besides actually having another container or service listening on those ports, it will tell you there is a conflict if you map container ports UDP and TCP BOTH to local port 6881. As shown in the video, set these to different local ports (i.e. 6881, 6882). If you try to map container ports 6881 both to local port 6881 *AND* set local port to 8080, as part of the same action (i.e. make those changes and click apply), you get a message saying local port 6881,8080 conflicts with other ports used by other services. In my case 8080 is not being used by anything else, so the message is wrong. I am able to successfully set the local ports exactly as shown in the video without getting the conflict message.
Hi@@sidesw1pe, that doesn't make sense to me. I have: 8080 -> 8080 TCP 8999 -> 8999 TCP 8999 -> 8999 UDP And it has never given me an error. Note that 6881 or 8999 (whichever you picked) must have TCP AND UDP. They can't be the same protocol.

@@techbytetips I thought the "12" shows other clients that want to leech.
Like :
Name Status Seeds Peers
Name of torrent seede 0(2) 0(31)
sometimes a peer connect for 1 sec and disconnect
My apologies. I misread. If it says 0(12) it means that there are 12 possible leechers but none are downloading from you.
Is the torrent still active? Meaning it says seeding and not completed?
i cant follow this because my layout is completely different
Then do you. :)
I just keep getting Pending - Download client is unavailable
Hi! It is hard to help you. It's is not enough information. Where are you seeing that error? Which client are you using?

@@techbytetips hello! I really appreciate the response! I figured it out in the end :)
Can I use my NAS as torrent host and share my file with everyone?
Yes you can. As long as you share a torrent using this application or Download Station, your files will be available for people to download.
Let's say for example, you create a video that you want to share. You can use QBitTorrent to create a torrent and share the Magnet link or the Torrent file to friends and they can download the file(s) that you are sharing from your NAS.
@@techbytetips can you make a guide video, because I can not found menu to create torrent.
Hi @@NTblog, sure! I've added the request to the queue. It will be released soon as it is a very simple request.
@@techbytetips thanks so much
Hi@@NTblog! I was working on making the video for you but I noticed a few things.
1. The QBitTorrent application, since it is running in Linux (container), doesn't have the Create Torrent option under Tools. The only way to create a torrent in linux is using the 'mktorrent' binary in the command prompt but it is also not included in it.
2. I checked Download Station and it also doesn't allow for the creation of torrents.
This means that your options are:
1. Finding another container image that does include the mktorrent binary or has some sort of tool to create it in the GUI.
2. Use the QBitTorrent application in your Windows machine. The windows version does come with the Create Tool option.
Then, you could grab the torrent from your NAS and, once it is done download it, remove it from your Windows PC and let the NAS do the seeding for you.
It's a little bit cumbersome, but that's what you can do for now to seed from your NAS.
I'll upload a video on how to do this.
Hi there, I've got everything set up, but when it comes to download it shows an "Errored" message in the status. What could it be? Thanks!
Wow... it is hard to say with such little information. If you are doing this, you are installing the client without a VPN, your ISP could be blocking torrent traffic, for once.
Try to see if the QBitTorrent logs say anything in the Docker app.
The torrent could also be dead, malformed, or the tracker not working.
Try to download a torrent that should be safe to download like a Linux .iso to test your torrent client.
For example:
releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso.torrent
@@techbytetips
My ISP provider allows me to download because I have qBittorrent in Windows, on the same local network, working.
I'm not using VPN.
I've setup exactly as the tutorial.
I've tried the linux torrent you used for example.
I've used the Search Bar with the Plug-ins that provides qBittorrent.
I've checked that my UID is 1026 and GID is 100.
I've set my TZ to Europe/Madrid
I'm using AdGuard Home, but I didn't block any torrent or service.
I think the 'downloads' and 'torrents' might have some issues with permissions, but I don't actually how to fix that.
Thanks for the quick response!
I could manage to find the issue. I had to give permissions specifically to my user (which is in administrators group, I don't know why this issue happens) on the 'Downloads' folder. Thanks!
@@shamouna oh, yes. I always manage the permissions for each folder before using them, so it didn’t even occur to me. Glad you found the issue and posted its fix here for others having it.
I've got stuck at this as well thanks for sharing@@shamouna
Hello, i followed the instructions up to 16:10, went to test using the Ubuntu ISO but i keep getting an error message: File error alert. Torrent: "tails-amd64-5.19-iso". File: "/downloads/incomplete/tails-amd64-5.19-iso/tails-amd64-5.19.iso". Reason: "tails-amd64-5.19-iso file_open (/downloads/incomplete/tails-amd64-5.19-iso/tails-amd64-5.19.iso) error: Permission denied" not sure how to fix
Weird error for sure.
Have you made sure that the user that you assigned to the container (PUID, PGID) has permissions to the folders that you are mapping?
I've honestly never seen that error. Have you not mounted the iso accidentally in Windows?
Thanks for the response, after playing with Permissions a bit i ultimately ended up rebuilding the container. What got it working for me was changing the PGID value from 100 (from my understanding = user) to 101 (admin) tested it out and i'm able to torrent the test ISO shown at 16:10 @@techbytetips
Hey@@Flexicute ! Glad to hear that you got it working.
The PUID/PGID you retrieve by running the command ID in a shell instance in the NAS, logged in as the user that you want to retrieve those values for.
Do you have to put qbit in docker config file?
I am not sure that I am understanding your question.
When you specify the volumes, you create a folder for QBitTorrent (5:00) in the configuration folder for our docker containers and you pass it to the container to be mounted in the /config path.
Once the container is started, it will look for a configuration file. If it cannot find it, it will create it.
Hi thx for this tuto. It’s working perfectly but I found out that after the download and copy finished, qbittorrent keep seeding and not delete the files. Do you have a way to solve that ?
It's currently a problem with some of the arr applications. Some people have suggested that you make the torrent stop once it reaches a 100% download instead of seeding and the apps kind of handle them better. I'm currently having the same issue. I just go once every week and delete the torrents that are left.
@@techbytetipshave you solved this yet? Also how to setup that they stop after downloading?
Furthermore this means that your allocated space gets used rather quickly because the files will be in 2 separate locations, right?
Hi@@pret5986 . It is currently an issue with the applications. I just go into QBitTorrent and "pause" the torrents. Then, they are usually removed and cleaned by the arrs. If not, I delete them myself after.
where do u get the admin and password from qbittornets ?
In the docker hub page. It tells you if it has a default user/pass combination.
my password is keep telling me wrong. I checked the log the password there also wrong
I believe the default password is:
admin/adminadmin
@@techbytetips There has been an update, the log now gives you a password for that current session and you will have to reset the password in program preferences, the new unique password will be generated again each session if one isnt provided.
@@sloppyjoe4083 Hi! I see what you are talking about. www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/180ou0b/psa_if_you_cant_login_to_qbittorrent_pass/
But that should only be the case for the initial setup. Once you set up your own password, it should stay the same.
Hi lovely video but I keep getting unauthorized access. Any help?
I put some of my local ports to "Auto" because it said there was a conflict. So I this is my configuration.
Local port, Container Port
Auto, 6881
Auto, 6881
8085, 8080
QBitTorrent tends to be annoyingly peculiar with wanting port 8080. Give it 8080 on port 8080, then the white error page will go away.
If you have another container on that port, switch it.
@chi94 Besides actually having another container or service listening on those ports, it will tell you there is a conflict if you map container ports UDP and TCP BOTH to local port 6881. As shown in the video, set these to different local ports (i.e. 6881, 6882).
If you try to map container ports 6881 both to local port 6881 *AND* set local port to 8080, as part of the same action (i.e. make those changes and click apply), you get a message saying local port 6881,8080 conflicts with other ports used by other services. In my case 8080 is not being used by anything else, so the message is wrong. I am able to successfully set the local ports exactly as shown in the video without getting the conflict message.
Hi@@sidesw1pe, that doesn't make sense to me. I have:
8080 -> 8080 TCP
8999 -> 8999 TCP
8999 -> 8999 UDP
And it has never given me an error. Note that 6881 or 8999 (whichever you picked) must have TCP AND UDP. They can't be the same protocol.
I did all the steps the same as you but now the torrents download to /torrent lol
Are you using the same file structure that I am using? I uploaded a video that talks about the file structure.
@@techbytetips my bad. I didnt know i needed too use the same file structure. What vid should i watch for the file structure? I used all your arr vids and they are super helpfull! thanks a lot!
Hi @@AmsterdamHCH, here's where I explained the file structure that I was going to use in the series.
