johmei Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I've been running my torrents such that the client runs on my primary system, and I save the actual data on unraid via an SMB share via a network mapped drive (that is to say, when I open a torrent and qBittorrent asks me where I want to save the actual data, I choose my unraid SMB share that is mapped to a drive letter). I'm starting to think....maybe this isn't such a great idea. Am I on the right path with that thought? If I am...what would be a suggested alternative method for torrenting on unraid? 🤔 Thank you kindly!! Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Go to the apps tab and search "torrent"? Quote Link to comment

Nothing really wrong with that per se, but doing it all on Unraid is probably more efficient and removes a reliance on another machine. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm gonna go that route then for sure. Thanks very much for the input! Quote Link to comment
