Qbittorrent Guidance (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My last foray into Torrenting was when TWC was taken over by Spectrum and I was using uTorrent like crazy. We had Spectrum ONE week and I got a DMCA letter. This is the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.

Although I've found a lot of information on Qbittorrent, I would like to know from some long-time users what are the minimum things I must set within the client to be safe, discrete but also have a good Download/Upload experience. I am using ExpressVPN.

Thanks so much!

Minimum you need is bittorrent behind a vpn that doesn’t log. There are an unimaginable amount of ways to do this. I started just running a vm with PIA vpn and transmission, now everything is containers.

Look into Radarr, sonarr and the otherServarr stack. With Usenet, will make you wonder why you were doing it any other way in the first place. If you are familiar with docker or containers, there are docker compose files out there that put the entire stack behind a vpn connection.
