I used to use qbittorrent because it had so many search plugins. Now I want something I ran run on a headless server. I’ve found qbittorrent-nox, but I don’t see anything about plugins in the documentation.
Has anyone used it, or can recommend something else that has search sources already configured?
Yes, you can use the search plugins.
Go to view and toggle the search tab.
In the search tab, click on plugins in the bottom right and click the update button. Give it a minute and it’ll populate with some default plugins.
Ah, than you so much! This makes life a lot easier :)
Update: I got it working by manually downloading a newer binary. Thanks, this is great!
Outdated: One more question, when I choose to download a torrent, the downloads list is still at 0. There is no download activity, even for a very popular torrent. The log file simply says:
(N) 2023-12-18T20:57:30 - Downloading 'https://.html', please wait...So, no complaints about file permissions (I’m on linux). Any idea why this is? I can’t easily join the forum. It’s gmail/outlook only for registration.
I’ve found that issue is related to the indexer. qBit fails to grab the magnet link because the indexer obfuscates it behind a redirect or something.
I just remove those indexers completely. If it’s something obscure that you really need, your best bet is following the link in the search menu and getting the link manually.
