## How to Configure and Use qBittorrent

#OpenSourceFreedomSoftware

You can get many things through Bittorrents. It is one of the best ways to download Linux distros, but only if you use the official bittorrent from the distro's website.

Downloading a distro via Bittorrent might make it look like you are grabbing movies or music, so here's how you set up qBittorrent to help keep yourself off of your ISP's radar.

Click each step to go to a more detailed tutorial for that step.

1. Enable Search

7. Use a VPN with your system There are so many options on VPNs, so we're not going to attempt to tackle this

Most tutorials recommend you use a VPN, but you can try these settings, and if your ISP leaves you alone, no need to pay for a VPN.  If you get the letter, you can then get a VPN.

Note:  You can do the exact same things in Transmission (https://transmissionbt.com/), except search.

 this is great, thank you -- but the links to steps are hosed up on #amethyst  
 yes..  I'm was/am still trying to figure out the best way to link things.  I'll change them to nostr:nevent instead of https://primal.net

Once I change them, only Amethyst shows the edits.  
 Are the links working now? 
 yes and no -- I can get there, but then I cannot get back... (back button just reloads same note ad infinitum)

seems like it might be an #amethyst thing, nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug?  
 Yes indeed... Trying to go back from a link, in the latest version of Amethyst, just reloads the current page. That is a new bug.

The back button works in older versions. 
 Same issue, had to quit the app and go back in each time but i set it up! Thank you for this! 
 Amethyst backlinks are working properly again with the newest Amethyst update.
