I’m trying to setup a system in order for the webUI to automatically open a window and ask me where to save a new torrent, as soon as I finish downloading it, or, better yet, paste a magnet link on it. I need webUI and can’t use the Qbittorrent client because opening it’ll run two instances of qbittorrent over each other overwriting settings one unto the other.
My idea is simply that I setup the browser to open the files as soon as finished downloading, by using a shortcut to the webui (there must be a way to create the shortcut to the actual webpage), but I’d prefer it more if I had less control (ideally just the usual settings you can look at when adding a torrent) through the transgui, in order to simply hasten the management of everything through categories instead of looking at a long list of things when not needed. There could be a transgui that can achieve that, Something like https://github.com/tympanix/Electorrent perhaps?
Transgui?
an alternative graphical user interface that replaces the function of the webUI and is an alternative to the default qbittorrent client.
huh. and here i was expecting a trans flag colored theme for the gui.

Oh god don’t use that word they’ll come for us
Not a solution to your problem, but just wanted to let you know you can run multiple instances of qB side-by-side. Make a new profile directory and use the option --profile=<new-profile-dir>.
Qb has a setting for monitoring a folder for .torrent files. IIRC, you can set a default directory or you can have it ask you every time. That seems like it would cover your use case.
I use it to auto-start downloading all .torrent files in ~/Downloads and it works well.
Both the webui and desktop app already support pasting a link. Click the add link button, right next to the add file button.
What? You can specify a torrent download location over the web UI. Do you want an interactive picker?
yes
Idk how hard it is to make a browser addon but a website userscript won’t be enough, those don’t have access to the filesystem obviously.
I personally like Flood, never tried it with qBt, but I use it with ruTorrent all the time
I also recommend qBitController if you want to access it from Android, or qBitControl if you’re on iOS (has to be sideloaded from AltStore)
