Qbittorrent Guidance (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My last foray into Torrenting was when TWC was taken over by Spectrum and I was using uTorrent like crazy. We had Spectrum ONE week and I got a DMCA letter. This is the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.

Although I've found a lot of information on Qbittorrent, I would like to know from some long-time users what are the minimum things I must set within the client to be safe, discrete but also have a good Download/Upload experience. I am using ExpressVPN.

Thanks so much!

One thing I have had an issue with is torrent clients closing, by default for some reason, to the notification bar. If you are toggling on and off your VPN to avoid captchas or slow load times you should seriously consider turning it off.

On a similar note I stopped using Transmission because I read it has an issue with staying open after the user the attempts to exit the program.

qBitTorrent has an option to only use a specific network adaptor, which i use to only allow qBitTorrent to use my VPN
