 Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2023 10:36 am Post subject: qbittorrent passes traffic thorugh host machine |
 |
|
I have a network media player and a NAS in my lan, all providing samba shares.
I have a desktop computer that mounts the shares and runs qbittorrent.
All torrent traffic goes through the computer that runs qbittorrent.
Is there any way I can get the traffic to not go through my desktop?

Where would you like the traffic to go through?

You need to have client-server modeled bittorrent software for that kind of setup. net-p2p/deluge provides such for example.
Another option would be to run the whole torrent software on the NAS box and access it remotely. Years ago I did exactly that with net-p2p/rtorrent.

So no way to do it with qbittorrent.
Running the torrent software on my servers is exactly what I want to avoid, because I want all my torrents managed in one place and because I don't want to slow down my servers.

I think the only option is to run it on a server if you want to avoid traffic (preferably on your storage server). I know rtorrent supports moving completed downloads to an another location (storage server in this case), but you'd still see traffic from there in form of seeding... and still all the torrent traffic goes trough the server which is running the torrent software.
But I think qbittorrent supports daemon mode too.
EDIT: It seems to... https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Running-qBittorrent-without-X-server-(WebUI-only,-systemd-service-set-up,-Ubuntu-15.04-or-newer)
(I tried to escape those nasty characters, but that didn't work. Copy and paste.)
[Moderator edit: added explicit [url] tag to handle "those nasty characters". ;) Forum auto-linking does not work when the URL contains parentheses. -Hu]

I have qbittorrent running in daemon mode on my desktop.
I need to be able to control it remotely, so no need to also build another bloated gui when I can just use the webui.
The binary installed is called qbittorrent-nox.
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] net-p2p/qbittorrent-4.5.4::gentoo USE="webui -dbus -gui" |
Rtorrent may be a better option, but remote control from my phone is a must.
