This one is amazing, especially when you realise various websites means, nearly any streaming platform. SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Bandcamp etc, it knows them and can download whole archives of files. As we watch Twitter and Reddit totter and crumble it’s time to realise this will happen with the sites that host your favourite podcast, unless you make offline copies

Readarr is akin to Sonarr/Radarr. Audiobookshelf is like Jellyfin/Plex

undefined> QBitorrent

Okay, question that hopefully doesn’t make me look too stupid - please be easy on me! I followed the instructions for Firefox + uBlock + paid VPN. However qTorrent is recommended but the list of browser specific downloads, does not include Firefox. Very confused right now.

Not sure what you are asking for, but one thing I can recommend is that for qbittorent to go to settings > Advanced > Network Interface to tie your VPN to the client. This will help in the event your VPN cuts out reducing chances of your IP address leaking.

Qbittorrent is not a browser extension. It’s a gui application.

You don’t install it specifically for our into Firefox.

If you’re trying to use the web interface, just use that. No need for anything specific.

I don’t understand, I suggest you create a separate post and explain better what you are trying to do.

I personally dislike it. It has a poor appearance and instead of copies books instead of tracking them wherever I want them to be. However, it is currently the best option available.
