Connect qBittorrent
Add qBittorrent to Kochab with Web UI username and password and default port 8080.
qBittorrent is a torrent download client. Kochab uses its Web UI API for queue visibility and control.
What Kochab exposes through qBittorrent
- Downloads tab: qBittorrent transfers in the blended queue
- Control screen: status, pause/resume, and queue drill-in
- Search sends: torrent/magnet grabs from Search when configured
Not exposed through qBittorrent
Full torrent management (labels, categories editor, RSS, advanced qBittorrent settings) stays in qBittorrent’s Web UI. Kochab does not expose per-torrent file trees or seeding ratio editing.
Before you start
In qBittorrent: Tools -> Options -> Web UI. Enable the Web UI and set a username and password.
Default connection
| Field | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Port | 8080 (Web UI default; yours may differ) |
| Scheme | http on LAN, https if Web UI uses TLS |
| Auth | Web UI username + password (session cookie) |
Kochab logs in to the Web UI and keeps a session cookie; you do not paste a separate API token.
Add in Kochab
- Open Services -> Add service and choose qBittorrent.
- Enter your host.
- Set the Web UI port (often 8080, but check your qBittorrent settings).
- Enter username and password.
- Tap Test and add.
Tips
- Port 8080 is common for qBittorrent and SABnzbd on the same host; use the port shown in qBittorrent’s Web UI settings, not a guess.
TLS
