qui
qui is a web interface for qBittorrent. It runs as one binary and connects to one or more qBittorrent instances over the Web API.
Most people run qui with one qBittorrent instance. Multi-instance support is optional. If you have a seedbox and a home server, qui manages both from one page.
Where to run qui
qui can run on any machine that can reach the qBittorrent Web API. A few features read files on disk and need local filesystem access. For those, qui must run on the same host as qBittorrent, or see the same files through a shared mount.
If you have one server, run qui on that server. Some seedbox providers install qui for you, see Seedbox installers. If your provider gives you no shell, run qui at home and add the seedbox as a remote instance. A remote instance gets the interface, the automations that do not read the disk, and cross-seed in default mode.

Browser extensions
Right-click a magnet or torrent link to add it to your qBittorrent instances:
To register qui as your browser handler for magnet links, open Settings → Security and click Register as Handler. The button shows only when you open qui over HTTPS or on localhost, in a browser that supports protocol handlers.
Languages
qui is available in English, German, French, Italian, Czech, Ukrainian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Catalan. The interface detects your browser language on first load and remembers your choice after that.
Sizes and speeds follow the language: French shows 1,5 Gio where English shows 1.5 GiB. If a unit reads wrong in yours, say so in a Discussion.
To change the language, click the globe icon at the bottom of the sidebar. If the sidebar is collapsed, use the globe submenu in the top-right menu. On a phone, use the globe submenu under Settings in the footer bar.

Supported torrent clients
qui supports qBittorrent only. It communicates directly with the qBittorrent Web API. If you use Deluge, rTorrent, or Transmission, use the qui CLI to migrate your torrents to qBittorrent. The migration keeps their history.
For compatible qBittorrent versions, see the qBittorrent Version Compatibility page.
