I’m trying to setup a system in order for the webUI to automatically open a window and ask me where to save a new torrent, as soon as I finish downloading it, or, better yet, paste a magnet link on it. I need webUI and can’t use the Qbittorrent client because opening it’ll run two instances of qbittorrent over each other overwriting settings one unto the other.

My idea is simply that I setup the browser to open the files as soon as finished downloading, by using a shortcut to the webui (there must be a way to create the shortcut to the actual webpage), but I’d prefer it more if I had less control (ideally just the usual settings you can look at when adding a torrent) through the transgui, in order to simply hasten the management of everything through categories instead of looking at a long list of things when not needed. There could be a transgui that can achieve that, Something like https://github.com/tympanix/Electorrent perhaps?

    Qb has a setting for monitoring a folder for .torrent files. IIRC, you can set a default directory or you can have it ask you every time. That seems like it would cover your use case.

    I use it to auto-start downloading all .torrent files in ~/Downloads and it works well.
