Router + external HDD + qBittorrent + Samba downloading torrents on Ubuntu?

Question

linux

Good time of the day.
There is a smart box turbo + router, an external hard drive on 1tb via samba is connected to it via usb.
Both computers see the hard drive (Main-Ubuntu 19.10 and Windows 7) via samba, you can copy, delete, paste.
There is a qBittorrent torrent client, how to make it directly download files there via Ubuntu?
In the qBittorrent settings: downloads\default save path is /home/user/Downloads/ (photo No. 1), you can select another partition on your hard drive, when I just open a file folder, there is a network drive (photo No. 2), that's it I wanted that through qBittorrent I could choose the path either on the computer or on the hard one of the router when downloading files.

The bottom line is that the hard drive on Ubuntu is only 120 gigs and is needed for work, and you want to pump up 300-400 gigs at once for raspberries on kodi, but there is no space, well, it’s a chore to copy here and there.

Answer 1

In the qBittorrent settings, you can change the default save paths for uploaded and downloaded files.

Answer 2

You mount the disk through nautilius, which, in turn, through gvfs, has a mount point somewhere like /run/user/username/gvfs or in a similar place, I haven’t used it for a long time and I don’t remember exactly where else it could be.
Or poke qBittorrent's nose into this place, but first do not forget to mount the disk through nautilius.
Or a more correct option is to mount the samba share via fstab to a fixed location, like /samba/myshare4torrent.
Well, as they said above in qBittorrent, write the default path to this place.
Separately, I will add that for Linux balls it is better to use NFS, it will be faster, native and easier to configure and manage. By the way, Windows also knows how to connect to NFS balls, but I did not measure the speed / load.

Put on the Transmission router and steer through the web or any of the RPC clients for this rocking chair.
