April 11, 20215 yr I am using qbittorrent to download a large file (1.7TB) and my cache drive is only 256GB. How do I force the qbittorrent docker to bypass the cache drive and instead write directly to disk? Thanks.
April 11, 20215 yr If the system at the file level, not torrent level knows the size of the file before it begins to be written and the share is set to be use cache: prefer, then it will automatically put it onto the array. Since this is doubtful, you'd have to create another share set to use cache no (or temporarily adjust the existing share to be use cache no) and set the file to down load to it.

I'm sorry could you explain this in simpler terms for me? I'm not sure what the differences between shares and disks are honestly. Edited April 11, 20215 yr by Connor Zook
April 11, 20215 yr you need to reconfigure the docker image of your torrent app to use a different user share for the downloaded data instead of the current cache drive
