qBit Manage is an automation tool for administering a qBittorrent instance and handling common, repetitive torrent-management tasks. It connects to qBittorrent via its API to apply rules, clean up data, and keep libraries organized.

Key Features

  • Automatically tag torrents based on tracker URLs
  • Apply categories to uncategorized torrents based on save paths, and change categories using rules
  • Remove unregistered torrents, with logic to avoid breaking cross-seeding workflows
  • Recheck paused torrents (prioritized by smaller size) and resume when complete
  • Detect and remove orphaned files in download directories that are not referenced by qBittorrent
  • Identify torrents without hard links outside the root folder (helpful for library management)
  • Configure share limits per tag/category groups, with optional cleanup based on ratio and/or seeding time
  • Optional Recycle Bin behavior to move files instead of deleting immediately
  • Built-in scheduler to run periodically, or run on-demand via command invocation
  • Webhook notifications and integrations with Notifiarr and Apprise API

Use Cases

  • Keep a seedbox or home torrent server organized with consistent tags and categories
  • Automatically clean up orphaned files and unregistered torrents to reclaim storage
  • Enforce seeding rules (ratio/time) per tracker or category while respecting minimum seed-time policies

Limitations and Considerations

  • Compatibility with new qBittorrent releases depends on qbittorrent-api support, so newest versions may lag

qBit Manage is well-suited for users who rely on qBittorrent and want repeatable, configurable automation for categorization, retention policies, and download-directory hygiene.
