Simple tool for adding torrents to the qBittorrent using WebUI using magnet:// protocol. It is convenient to use e.g. in cases where qBittorrent is not running on the local computer, but the user has access to the remote WebUI. Using MagnetiQ, torrents can then be easily added with a single click.
Magnetiq contains everything you need in a single binary file and comes in Windows, Linux and Mac versions. On Windows, MagnetiQ can be registered to the magnet:// protocol using the reg-files command, which creates .reg files for registering and unregistering the protocol. On Linux and Mac, external tools must be used to register the magnet:// protocol.
Before adding torrents to the qBittorrend WebUI using MagnetiQ, it is necessary to configure the connection using a configuration file. Default name is magnetiq.json which is located in the same directory as MagnetiQ, however this can be changed using the -c parameter. For simplicity, MagnetiQ includes an init-config command that creates a ready-to-populate configuration file.
Once the configuration file is set up correctly, torrents can be added using the add command and the -l parameter, which specifies the magnet URI to add. This command is also used when MagnetiQ is associated with the magnet:// protocol. The link can also be directly assigned to a category using the -a parameter.
