# Rtorrent 16 for QNAP

rtorrent 0.16.22, built from source, with ruTorrent and a Control Center of its own. One QPKG for QTS 6 and QuTS hero, x86_64 or arm_64, nothing on the system volume, nothing phoning home. It installs beside the old Rtorrent 15 package: different ports, different folders, different session.

## One page that answers "is it working?"

Rates, torrent counts, disk left, and a port check that walks the whole path — something listening here, the router's mapping, a connection from outside, IPv6 — each step passing or failing on its own line. No more guessing which half is broken.

## Quick access — the list, without the weight

Start, pause, trash, re-announce, set a label. ruTorrent is still there for everything else, one click away; this is the page for the ninety per cent of days when you only want to see what is arriving.

## Drop a .torrent in, it works out where it goes

The Add page reads the name and picks the category — film, series, kids, music, game — and the label decides the folder. Magnets, files, RSS from ruTorrent, or a watch folder per label: four ways in, one place they land.

## A media library that says what it will do, before it does it

Downloads → finished → library, drawn as it actually happens, with the room left on each volume and the verdict for every hop: hardlink when it is one volume, copy when it is two, move when you asked for a move. FileBot renames and fetches the artwork; Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin and Emby get a nudge afterwards.

## Ask your private trackers in plain language

PolishTracker, TorrentLeech, any UNIT3D site, anything Jackett or Prowlarr indexes. Type "latest Stranger Things" — in English or in Polish — and it works out that you mean the newest episode, ranks what came back, and puts the one you pick straight on the NAS. The credentials stay in a 0600 file on your own NAS.

## A notification that is worth reading

When a film lands you get the poster, the resolution, HDR, the running time, the size and the audio and subtitle languages — as one message, on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, ntfy, Gotify, Matrix, e-mail and a dozen more. The WhatsApp bot answers back: status, eta, "get 1-10".

## Backups you can see — and put back

Two copies a day, neither of them data: the torrent list (which torrents exist) and the configuration (settings, the panel password, tracker credentials, rc drop-ins, the certificate). Restore any single day from the panel. The configuration copy is 0600, because it holds secrets.

## A performance wizard that measures your NAS

It runs the disk and the network, reads the result against what this box actually has, and offers the settings that follow from it — with the cost of each written next to it. Nothing is applied behind your back.

## Network and NAT, told straight

Every port with its mapping, who mapped it, and whether the internet can see it. UPnP and NAT-PMP are asked at every start — and when the router says no, the panel quotes the router rather than telling you to switch on a switch that is already on.

## 116 settings, nine languages, and the manual inside the panel

Every setting has a sentence explaining what it costs, the ones that need a restart say so, and the panel speaks English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese and Traditional Chinese. The guides are in the panel, not on a wiki somewhere.
