qBittorrent

qBittorrent can connect to nyaa via its WebUI-API. Currently, only the ability to add torrents is implemented. This is also only intended to work on qBittorrent version >=4.1.

Enabling WebUI

For this to work, you must have qBittorrents WebUI running. To enable it, go to Options > Web UI and check the box labeled Web User Interface (Remote Control)

On older versions of qBittorrent, the default username and password are admin and adminadmin. On newer versions, you must provide a password when enabling Web UI. If you're on a version with this default password, you'll likely want to change this for improved security. You can change these in the Authentication field in the Web UI options menu in qBittorrent.

After changing these, update the corresponding username and password fields in the config, which are defined below.

Default config

If you've selected qBittorrent as your default download client, you will find this towards the bottom of your config (with only the required values present).

# Your config in ~/.config/nyaa/config.toml or %appdata%\nyaa\config\config.toml
# ...
download_client = "qBittorrent"
# ...

[client.qBittorrent]
base_url = "http://localhost:8080"       # required
username = "admin"                       # optional
password = "adminadmin"                  # optional
password_file = "/path/to/password.txt"  # optional
use_magnet = true          # optional, will be true by default
savepath = "~/Downloads/"  # all optional with no default here and below...
category = "Category Name"
tags = [ # must not contain commas in any of the tags
  "Tag one",
  "Tag two",
]
skip_checking = false
paused = false
create_root_folder = true
up_limit = -1 # measured in Bytes/Sec
dl_limit = -1 # measured in Bytes/Sec
ratio_limit = 0.5
seeding_time_limit = -1 # only works if auto_tmm is false, measured in minutes
auto_tmm = false
sequential_download = true
prioritize_first_last_pieces = true

For more information on what each of the values represent, check qBittorrents WebUI-API documentation. For most users, you will only need the base URL, username, and password to get downloads working. The password can either be defined in password_file (a raw text file containing only the password) or hardcoded in password.
