Offline download

Please read this tip before use

Please read the following tips carefully

There are two kinds of software with offline download function

The two usages are the same, and the software configuration is set in advance (see the following instructions for specific configuration),

Then go back to the front-end interface, find the folder you want to upload offline files to, and you can manually enter the folder

Then find the offline download button in the lower right corner, and choose to use Aria2 download or qBittorrent download (>v 3.11.0)

If you use docker, please map the following two default paths by yourself. (mapped to the same directory on the host machine)

/opt/alist/data/temp/aria2
/opt/alist/data/temp/qbittorrent

AList ≥ 3.42.0

AList Version ≥ 3.42.0 View Allow all cloud disks to call other cloud disks' offline download tools

≥ 3.42.0 If you want to use offline download, you need to configure a temporary folder in the background before you can use it (otherwise it will only show SimpleHttp)
manage ==> settings ==> other （ https://explorer.com/@manage/settings/other ）
- If you want to [use/configure] PikPak for offline downloading
  1. Mount PikPak storage
  2. Set Pikpak temp dir in the background
  3. Select any folder of this account as a temporary directory
    - If multiple PikPaks are mounted and you want to use that account for offline downloading, then select the directory of that account as the temporary directory.

The following applies only to configuration instructions

qBittorrent

(Here we take the Windows side as an example, I don’t know if there is one on the Linux side)

First of all, we need to configure the default values on the client side of qBittorrent

According to source code, we know that the default values are admin:adminadmin@localhost:8080/

ip: localhost
port: 8080
user: admin
password: adminadmin

We fill in the above parameters into the qBittorrent client, after configuration, we go to the Alist front end to download offline (method refer to the description at the beginning)
- If you are prompted after submitting the offline link: Qbittorrent not ready, try restarting both Alist and qBittorrent
Default value configuration view address: (The link may also change position based on subsequent optimization)
- https://github.com/AlistGo/alist/blob/main/internal/offline_download/qbit/qbit.go#L28
- { *** Value: "http://admin:adminadmin@localhost:8080/", Type: conf.TypeString, *** }
Use qBittorrent to offline .torrent type files

Although you cannot directly add offline .torrent type files, you can save the country with a curve Reference: View method

You can configure it yourself not to delete after the download is complete, but to do seeding, the default is 0, and it will be deleted immediately after uploading

Modification location: Alist background --> Settings --> Qbittorrent seedtime option, set the time you need to configure, the unit is minute, after the set seeding time is reached, it will automatically delete

We can also customize, instead of using the default presets

Modification location: Alist Manage --> Settings --> Qbittorrent url option, just follow the modification

Precautions

Appeared in the background qBittorrent task: torrent parse timeout, parsing timed out
The torrent can be parsed, but The system cannot find the path specified. appears when uploading.

The above two methods are most likely caused by the qBittorrent software itself, probably because of the green version and the modified version that have undergone some functional castration modifications. It is recommended to go to the official website to download and install it to restore it (the conclusion drawn by myself after stepping on the pit) )

qBittorrent official website: https://www.qbittorrent.org/
qBittorrent-Enhanced-Edition GitHub: https://github.com/c0re100/qBittorrent-Enhanced-Edition

Because the v2.8.3 API is used, the minimum version of qBittorrent should be 4.4.0beta2 or 4.3.8 official version
If qBittorrent sets the ip where alist is located to be exempt from authentication, you can directly omit the user name and password before @ (configured on the qBittorrent client side)
