torrenting with a shared drive via SMB? Maybe...not such a good idea?

[johmei]

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!!

Go to the apps tab and search "torrent"?

So I guess that means doing this over SMB really isn't ideal....I'll give a search and pursue that route.

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

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