qBit Manage

• Tag torrents based on tracker URLs
• Apply category based on save_path to uncategorized torrents in category's save_path
• Change categories based on current category (cat_change)
• Remove unregistered torrents (delete data & torrent if it is not being cross-seeded, otherwise it will just remove the torrent)
• Recheck paused torrents sorted by lowest size and resume if completed
• Remove orphaned files from your root directory that are not referenced by qBittorrent
• Tag any torrents that have no hard links outside the root folder (for multi-file torrents the largest file is used)
• Apply share limits based on groups filtered by tags/categories and allows optional cleanup to delete these torrents and contents based on maximum ratio and/or time seeded. Additionally allows for a minimum seed time to ensure tracker rules are respected and minimum number of seeders to keep torrents alive.
• RecycleBin function to move files into a RecycleBin folder instead of deleting the data directly when deleting a torrent
• Built-in scheduler to run the script every x minutes. (Can use --run command to run without the scheduler)
• Webhook notifications with Notifiarr and Apprise API integration

Supported qBittorrent Versions

We rely on qbittorrent-api to interact with qBittorrent.

Generally expect new releases of qBittorrent to not immediately be supported. Support CANNOT be added until qbittorrent-api adds support for the version. Any material changed and impact must then be assessed prior to Qbit Manage supporting it.

Version bumps are automated — no issue or PR needed. Renovate watches qbittorrent-api on PyPI and always auto-merges its updates (major, minor, patch — see .github/renovate.json) as soon as a new release is 3+ days old. Merging that bump changes pyproject.toml, which triggers CI (update-supported-versions.yml) to refresh SUPPORTED_VERSIONS.json and the badges below — the whole chain runs without a human touching it. Issues asking us to "add support for qBittorrent vX.Y" will be auto-closed and point back here; if qbit_manage still doesn't work on a version already shown as supported below, that's a real bug — please file one.
