Configuring qBittorrent for Seeding and Automatic File Management | Generated by AI

Home PDF

It seems like you want to configure qBittorrent to continue seeding your torrents while automatically moving completed .mkv files to /var/www/movies for serving on a server. Below, I’ll guide you through the steps to achieve this, assuming you’re using qBittorrent on a system where /var/www/movies is a valid directory (e.g., a Linux server with a web server like Apache or Nginx). Here’s how you can set it up:


Step-by-Step Guide

1. Understand qBittorrent’s File Management

2. Configure qBittorrent Settings

##### a) Set Default Download Location

##### b) Enable Automatic File Moving

##### c) Optional: Filter for .mkv Files

##### d) Seeding Limits

3. Alternative: Use “Run External Program” for More Control

4. Verify Permissions

5. Test the Setup

6. Manually Move Existing Files (If Needed)

7. Optimize Upload Settings


Key Notes

If you run into issues (e.g., files not moving or seeding stopping), let me know your setup details (OS, qBittorrent version, etc.), and I’ll refine the solution!
