Auto-Configuration

When installed via the setup wizard, qBittorrent is automatically configured with automatic torrent handling, downloads root path and adds authentication to the webUI.

Deleting Media

Delete movies, series and music in Radarr, Sonarr or Lidarr (with Delete files), not in qBittorrent. Mithrandir then removes the seeding copy from qBittorrent automatically, so the space is actually freed. Nothing is removed based on time or ratio. See mithrandir media for how this works and how to clean up leftovers.

Each app downloads into its own folder through a qBittorrent category: movies, tv and music (moved to movies-imported, tv-imported and music-imported once imported).

Setup

• Go to the qBittorrent webUI settings (cog icon).
• In the "Downloads" section, check "Delete .torrent files afterwards", set "Default Torrent Managing mode" to "Automatic", and set the "Default Save Path" to /data/downloads.
• In the "Web UI" section, change the default username and password.
