What are some good options to change from defaults in qbittorrent?

Just curious if the defaults are safe enough or privacy focused enough.

Just curious if the defaults are safe enough or privacy focused enough.

I’ve only set the interface to use my VPN, so I’m very interested in any advanced suggestions as well.
As stated above, make sure to link Qbit to your VPN’s ethernet adapter. Other than that setup search plug-ins/Jackett and enjoi the best torrenting software there is.
I replaced Jackett with Prowlarr recently. You might like it too.

What’s a VPN /s

Reportinging in form a country whey they need a court order to get a name/address

Then you’re probably fine
Unless you are Kim Dot Com, the the Yanks can f you over even if they break NZ law id doing so
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.
I can’t recall what theme I installed, but a darker theme is always nice. Found this after a quick search: draculatheme.com/qbittorrent
QBittorrent

The most famous dark theme for QBittorrent and an ever-growing selection of apps! 🦇

Use Vuetorrent theme for webui

@kaladininskyrim it's pretty much as secure as it can be, BitTorrent isn't an anonymous protocol.

But use a dark mode

There’s a TOP of service setting, you can change it to 5 to seed more, but it won’t have much difference afaik
