Qbittorrent and stalled downloads Topic is solved

[gasto]

I executed this: chown -Rv root:dietpi /mnt/ext

Now the output shows:

drwxrwxr-x 8 root dietpi 4096 Dec 18 15:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 16 21:25 ..
drwxrwxr-x 3 root dietpi 4096 Dec 18 15:28 Backups
drwxrwxrwx 4 root dietpi 4096 Dec 18 15:30 Downloads
drwxrwxr-x 2 root dietpi 4096 Dec 17 01:08 Movies
drwxrwxr-x 2 root dietpi 4096 Dec 17 01:07 Pictures
drwxrwxr-x 2 root dietpi 4096 Dec 17 01:08 TV
drwxrwxr-x 2 root dietpi 16384 Dec 16 17:21 lost+found

Would that be correct? Now I would need to see how to add qBitorrent to dietpi group, right?

something about groups https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-u ... -on-linux/

changing groups on file/folder https://linuxize.com/post/linux-chown-command/

Thanks, I think I did it now.

qbittorrent.service:

usually it's not needed to change qbittorrent.service. It's totally fine to have it running as user qbittorrent. Important thing is to have user qbittorrent being a member of user group dietpi. This can be checked as follow

Code: Select all

groups qbittorrent

It should return dietpi as group membership.

Thank you Joulinar, it does return dietpi now

if you like, you could remove 777 permission from Downloads folder an d set it to something like 664. This should give rw access
