  • That’s helpful; this sounds like a docker issue or qBit issue then. The default qBit location for torrents is /downloads, but you’d need to make sure to point it towards the container volume mapping you’re setting up in docker.

    my relevant qBittorrent compose volume mapping is as follows:

        volumes:
          - /volume1/shared/torrents:/data/torrents
    

    Personally, I don’t separate my torrent downloads by type; I use incoming & completed folders. Here’s how I set up my qBittorrent config:

    Original Value New Value
    Session\DefaultSavePath=/downloads/ Session\DefaultSavePath=/data/torrents/1_completed/
    Session\TempPath=/downloads/incomplete/ Session\TempPath=/data/torrents/2_incoming/
    Downloads\SavePath=/downloads/ Downloads\SavePath=/data/torrents/1_completed/
    Downloads\TempPath=/downloads/incomplete/ Downloads\TempPath=/data/torrents/2_incoming/



  • For me it was really the price of domain renewals. Namecheap has great starting deals, but eg. I have a .studio domain and it costs $28.16 to renew at Namecheap and $21.09 at Porkbun. My .xyz domain costs $9.92 to renew at Porkbun, $14.16 at Namecheap. (Registrar comparison chart here.)

    In terms of pure price, Cloudflare is cheaper to renew for all the domains I have, but Porkbun is only a dollar or two off and I like supporting a smaller company. Edit: Porkbun offers free SSL which is nice if you don’t feel like bothering with LetsEncrypt yourself.

    (Also, I find Namecheap’s domain management console absolutely horrible to work with in terms of UI.)
