qBittorrent

Aurral searches your torrent indexers in Prowlarr and sends the torrents it picks to qBittorrent.

Setup

1. Connect Prowlarr in Settings > Downloads > Prowlarr, with one or more torrent audio indexers turned on in Prowlarr. Its Indexers list shows them, and you can set their priority or turn them off for Aurral there.
2. Mount qBittorrent’s download folder in Aurral, so Aurral can read finished torrents. See Filesystem and mounts.
3. Open Settings > Downloads > qBittorrent and turn on Enable qBittorrent.
4. Set Server URL to the qBittorrent Web UI, for example http://qbittorrent:8080, with its Username and Password. Leave them empty if qBittorrent skips sign-in for Aurral’s address.
5. If necessary, set Category, Track priority, and Album priority. The defaults are aurral and a track priority of 30. An empty album priority uses track priority.
6. Select Test connection.

Path mapping

When qBittorrent reports its downloads under another path than Aurral sees, add a mapping in Settings > Downloads > Remote path mappings, with Applies to set to qBittorrent.

Behavior

Torrents hold albums, so for a single track Aurral searches for the track’s album. Once qBittorrent has the torrent’s file list, Aurral checks it against the release and tells qBittorrent to download only the tracks you asked for. When the file names don’t show the release or the track, the whole album downloads and Aurral checks the files by their tags.

Aurral skips torrents without seeders and tries the best quality your quality profile allows first. An upgrade takes only a torrent better than the file you have. When a torrent finishes, Aurral links its audio files, or copies them when they are on another disk, and checks them like any other source. The torrent stays in qBittorrent to seed. If Aurral stops a download before its torrent finishes, it removes the torrent and its files.
