[SOLVED] qbittorrent headless - is it possible to enable search plugins? (kbin.social)

I used to use qbittorrent because it had so many search plugins. Now I want something I ran run on a headless server. I've found qbittorrent-nox, but I don't see anything about plugins in the documentation.

Has anyone used it, or can recommend something else that has search sources already configured?

Update: I got it working by manually downloading a newer binary. Thanks, this is great!

Outdated: One more question, when I choose to download a torrent, the downloads list is still at 0. There is no download activity, even for a very popular torrent. The log file simply says:

(N) 2023-12-18T20:57:30 - Downloading 'https://.html', please wait...

So, no complaints about file permissions (I'm on linux). Any idea why this is? I can't easily join the forum. It's gmail/outlook only for registration.

I've found that issue is related to the indexer. qBit fails to grab the magnet link because the indexer obfuscates it behind a redirect or something.

I just remove those indexers completely. If it's something obscure that you really need, your best bet is following the link in the search menu and getting the link manually.
