Automatically throttles qBittorrent speeds during remote Plex streaming to ensure smooth playback by prioritizing bandwidth via n8n webhooks.
This n8n workflow automatically detects remote connections to your Plex server using Plex Pass webhooks and throttles qBittorrent download/upload speeds to prevent bandwidth contention.

Ideal for home media servers sharing network resources between streaming and torrenting.
Setup requires a Plex server with Plex Pass, local n8n (desktop or Docker), and qB
