It\u2019s simple, effective, and very lightweight. But it had one limitation\u2026 A limitation that eventually nudged me into forking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Problem: One Save Path just Isn\u2019t enough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use qBittorrent for multiple categories or different types of downloads, you quickly run into the issue of <strong>needing multiple save paths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kali Linux ISOs \u2192 <code>\/mnt\/distro\/Kali<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ubuntu ISOs \u2192 <code>\/mnt\/distro\/Ubuntu<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Movies \u2192 <code>\/mnt\/<\/code>Movies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Series\u2192 <code>\/mnt\/<\/code>Series<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The original add-on is missing this option, all download are saved to default path.<br>So I found myself constantly switching it in the configuration or manually moving files afterward\u2014something that definitely defeats the purpose of automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while the solution became obvious:<strong>Fork the add-on and expand it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing: <em>Send to qBittorrent (with SavePaths)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">This extension is a fork of the original \u201cSend to qBittorrent,\u201d but with one major improvement: You can now define multiple save paths in the configuration, and they appear dynamically in the context menu.This is one of those improvements that feels tiny, but saves many clicks each day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You can install <strong>Send to qBittorrent (with SavePaths)<\/strong> from the official Mozilla Add-ons site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/send-to-qbittorrent-savepaths\/\">https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/send-to-qbittorrent-savepaths\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you find it useful, feel free to leave feedback, suggestion, or contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dareeo.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dareeo.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-4.png 432w, https:\/\/blog.dareeo.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-4-173x300.png 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Right click on a torrent link, choose one location from context menu, and the add-on sends the torrent directly to the matching save path via qBittorrent\u2019s API.
