# Purpose

Main torrent client.

# Notes

Runs behind [gluetun](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun).

Both [qbit-manage](https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage) and [qui](https://github.com/autobrr/qui) running alongside to automate management of the files. Both of these have dramatically reduced time spent maintaining this.
