Why use qBittorrent?

First of all: Why apply qBittorrent, instead of µTorrent or any other torrent manager?

The answer is simple: qBittorrent is a much cleaner and reliable option in comparison to µTorrent. It is completely free, and does not accept whatever ads or malware inside.

Installation Procedure

Commencing with the guide, the showtime thing nosotros demand to practice is download the latest version at the official site of qBittorrent. We select our OS, and it volition redirect us to the side by side page.

In my case, I select Windows.

In this page we can select the version depending our OS compages.

Simply click in the version. In my case, Windows x64

In one case we have the installer, we select our language, click on next, accept the terms of the License Understanding, and click on next over again.

Up hither, we can select the file clan and well as other options. I always suggest to exit the final 4 options this way then we avoid some headaches later...

Then, click on next, and select the installation path and it will brainstorm to install qBittorent.

Setting qBittorrent Up

Afterward the installation process, we can begin setting up our qBittorrent and so it can run at 100% when we get-go to download/seed our torrents.

For this, nosotros go to the options panel.

Here we go to the connexion. And select these options if they are disabled or changed.

In the "port used for incoming connections" selection I recommend to enter a number between 45000 and 52000.

At present, the adjacent pace is to gear up our downloads. Then we need to become to the BitTorrent section, and mark this option. These options volition depend on how many downloads/uploads you want actively.

How to Download a Torrent File

At the moment nosotros finish our configuration, nosotros begin the easiest part: downloading a torrent.

For this, we need the torrent file that we want to download (of course). I volition be downloading Nighttime of the Living Dead [be really careful with the clone sites].

Once we have our torrent, just click it. And because of nosotros marker the file association, it volition immediately recognize it.

In this window, at the left section, we tin can select the download path, and, at right department, we can run into the within of the torrent and select what nosotros want to download. So we select OK, and it will start to download the torrent file.

Now, sometimes, the torrent will non initiate or download. This may exist, considering it doesn't accept Seeders or have too many Leechers (Peers). That's why we need to always check out how many Seeders the torrents accept, and how many Leechers, in proportion to the seeders, the torrent has.

Always

And that'south information technology for the download guide.

How to Seed a Torrent File

Sometimes, there will exist some trackers that requires to seed a torrent before or subsequently downloading one. qBittorrent activates this function right subsequently we finish the torrent, but what if we desire to seed a file that we don't take in qBittorrent?

The naught step is having the downloaded files in our PC.

Then, we need to observe the torrent download file we want to seed. I will exist seeding Night of the Living Expressionless.

Now, we open the torrent file and we are going to look at the root folder (not the file folder). Notice that y'all will need all the same files and folder name. Otherwise, it won't recognize the torrent as downloaded.

And that's all. Information technology volition begin to bank check the files and re-download the damaged blocks if there's one. Afterwards the summary bank check, it will be appearing as "seeding".

How to Change the UI Theme

First thing we need to do is download a compatible theme. I will be using this one. Subsequently that, go to the options at the Beliefs section. Then, mark "Utilize custom UI Theme" and select the downloaded .qbtheme file.

Restart qBittorrent, and that should be for it.

How To Add Plug-ins to qBittorrent

Some other useful selection for qBittorrent is the build-in search engine with which we can use to search specific torrents instead of visiting the site through our navigator. Thanks to Pope Sidious for bringing up this tutorial.

Before we keep, information technology will inquire us if we have Pythom installed if we don't take it.

And then, after the Pythom installation, we need to add the specific plugin of the sites similar 1337x, limetorrents, amid others to get it working.

Past doing this, in our qBittorrent, in that location will be a new window section. Nosotros click on the second one and so nosotros click on "Search Plugins..."

After this, it will pop-up the search plugin. On "install a new one" we can add manually a .py qBittorrent search plugin, like the one we are going to utilize, for 1337x.to or we can practice an motorcar-search clicking in the "Bank check for updates" choice (If y'all go an error, it'southward the qBittorrent server. You volition need to search the plugin manually).

In that location are 2 means to add together an engine manually. The get-go i, as we said, is downloading a compatible .py, simply, the 2d mode, it'southward more easy to fix up and does not requires to download anything.

Showtime, click on the .py file

Then, select the Raw selection and copy the link of the new window

Become to qBittorrent and paste it on the "web link" option from the "install a new one" and click Ok.

After this, we can search from the trackers nosotros added before.

Y'all tin also see how many Seeders/Leechers the Torrent has.

Be careful with the downloads because you can not see who upload the link and you may exist dowloading a dangerous file. You are at your ain chance.
