Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • I'm hesitant to touch anything in case I break something.
  • It took me so long to understand and configure, but now I want qui instead.
  • The reason why you need to delete it 'twice' is because the ecosystem copied the files
  • I just do the reverse order to delete so I delete in the specific *arr then delete from qBit and have no leftovers.
