Does anyone know how to change the downloand path for qbitorrent? Ive updated the download path within qbitorrent and within the application setting.on the zima dash but every download errors out.

I believe this happens when the folder you picked isn’t actually mapped into the qBittorrent container (or it doesn’t have permission), so every torrent errors when it tries to write.

Step-by-step (common working layout on ZimaOS)

  1. Create the folder first (Files app)
    Create something like: Downloads/qbittorrent
  2. Set the ZimaOS app volume mapping
    ZimaOS Dashboard > Apps > qBittorrent > Settings > Storage / Volumes

Use this common mapping:

  • Host path: /DATA/Downloads (or your storage pool path)
  • Container path: /downloads
  1. Set qBittorrent to a container path (not a host path)
    In qBittorrent WebUI > Settings > Downloads:
  • Default Save Path: /downloads/qbittorrent
  1. Check the real error if it still fails
    qBittorrent WebUI > Tools > Execution Log
    If you see Permission denied or No such file or directory, it confirms the mapping/permission is the issue.

Thanks for you response. Did as you mentioned and downloads are failing. Execution log shows

Permission Denied. Below is the mapping I did via the WebUI settings, I also set the download path within qbitorrent to /Movies-TV
