I’ve only set the interface to use my VPN, so I’m very interested in any advanced suggestions as well.

If you have a hard drive as your main storage, and in particular a raid array of smr hard drives, it’s worth checking the ‘pre-allocate disk space for all files’ check box in the connection settings. it keeps disk fragmentation down and lowers raid thrashing a shitton when downloading large media files. You won’t notice if it’s just you using your one hard drive, but it made a huge difference on my raid5 smr setup.

Use Vuetorrent theme for webui

Change the Max up and download speed, click on them on the bottom right corner

Also set Max active torrents

Port forward

Also don’t set anonymous mode, it’s not useful and gives you worse performance

@kaladininskyrim @piracy damn, no responses?

I can’t recall what theme I installed, but a darker theme is always nice. Found this after a quick search: https://draculatheme.com/qbittorrent
