Client Handling settings

Use Settings → Client Handling after creating entries under Torrent Clients. The selectors contain configured client names and reject stale references when saved.

FieldPurpose
Default clientFallback client for search and injection when their dedicated selectors are empty.
Injected clientsSet of clients that receive successfully registered torrents.
Searching clientsqBittorrent or qui-backed clients searched for existing reusable torrents.

Selection order

Injection uses the first applicable source:

  1. workflow or tracker-specific client override;
  2. Injected clients;
  3. Default client;
  4. the only configured client, when exactly one exists.

Search uses the first applicable source:

  1. workflow client override;
  2. Searching clients;
  3. Default client;
  4. all configured qBittorrent and qui-backed clients.

Watch-folder clients can receive torrent files but are not used for torrent search. Removing a Torrent Clients entry in the Web UI also clears its global and tracker references before save.

Verify the change

Save, prepare a source already present in the intended search client, and inspect client-discovery results. For first injection, keep Skip client injection enabled during review, then perform one controlled upload after confirming paths, categories, and tags.
